Dry and windy conditions may produce elevated to critical fire weather conditions in portions of the Central and Southern High Plains and the Midwest. Much of the central/eastern U.S. can expect record high temperatures through Thursday.

ARE YOU CIRRUS?!

Through October, we have seen many stations set their latest first freeze in decades. I ran numbers on station since 1970 to see how many have set or may set their latest freeze on record. Those are displayed below. These records are cutoff after October, so I’ll keep this updated once we get into November and December to see how many other stations may set records this year.
