It’s like whatever they did after it broke the “all time record” when basically no one else was within 3 degrees fixed it…

Ladies and gentlemen- we have broken 90 at my house, earliest of my life and possibly the earliest in history. Made it to exactly 90.0. It is currently 89.8

RDU up to 89, can they make it to 90? Probably have about 30 min left to do it

Lots of 90s from Raleigh- east. Currently 88.5 here and that’s our max same as yesterday so far. Remarkable, even some 90s into Virginia right now including just south of Richmond. Historic heat

As winter technically runs through March 20 today’s 90-burger has to be factored into this years winter

We’ve jumped to 87.4 since

85.2 here at 12:30

75 already at 10 am… we’re going to be close to 90. Started at 59. Crazy tomorrow at this same time we could be near freezing

If this pattern materializes in summer I’m worried the pavement will turn into molten magma

Just think we could’ve been locked into this heatwave in January like the rest of the northern hemisphere

That’s what’s impressive about this, these aren’t just record breaks, these are destructions

Cold yes but really just two one day cold snaps and nowhere near as impressive as what’s been going on with this heatwave! We have set 3 record highs, 2 record high minimums already and tomorrow the point click has been upped to 89. We had 88.5 this afternoon here, which was nearly 6 degrees above the forecast and 7 above the RDU record! For the piedmont looks like Friday morning will be around freezing and one night around freezing and one night in the upper 20s next week before it warms up. Hardly a historic event, but a significant shock after this stretch of summer in early March. If RDU hits 90 tomorrow it will be exactly 2 months before average, as the average first 90 reading of the season is May 11… RAH commented that this weather and heights are more typical of early July!

88.5! It’s back down to 85.5 but that is the warmest reading since last summer

83.5 at the moment. RDU is sitting at 84 so the daily record has already been broken. That’s 3 records in the last week EDIT: we’ve shot up to 85.1 and still rising

GFS drives 850s below freezing much sooner than anything else. Not much difference synoptically or in surface depiction between it and anything else. Just way too quick with post frontal CAA east of mountains with the passage of the strong arctic front. I could see flakes mix in somewhere in Virginia but this will not be more than that (and mountain snow). Not really worth over analyzing, GFS just defies physics while other models understand cold is delayed by the mountains
