Merry Torchmas, fellow wx geeks, weenies, and nerds:

 

 If you’re still reading , this map isn’t for today. Rather, it’s the forecast map for the very similar Torchmas of 2021, which was then at or near the warmest Christmas on record and was from one of the favored winter analogs that folks have been following, 2021-2. That Dec also featured a strong -PNA that still wasn’t forecasted to turn to a +PNA in Jan even as late as the Boxing Day PNA forecast! It actually went positive on Jan 9th and stayed that way through Feb 15th! In addition to a chilly Jan, GSO and much of NC had a snowy Jan.

An identical 72.8 as yesterday. At least it’s fun to get the kids outside playing with their presents

Historic Heat:  

75° makes a new Christmas record warm temp in Greensboro, NC. 

40s tomorrow!

It’s currently raining in South Dakota and parts of North Dakota!

 78 was the high at SAV today. They’ve had 78, 78, and 75 the last 3 days. Torchy but no records, which are 81, 83, and 82. Most of their record highs in winter are in the low 80s as 70s aren’t at all uncommon. We still have 4 more days of mid to upper 70s to go before the bottom falls out. So, that would make 75ish+ 7 days in a row. 

 Good job by the models with the warmth for a change! This is the first period they’ve done well since the week prior to Thanksgiving. They saw this coming pretty far out.
