Day 49: A Brief Warmup
After spending a good portion of February below normal, much of the eastern two thirds of the country will experience a brief warmup tomorrow. Temperatures throughout the southern United States will reach the 60s and possibly even 70s in some areas. If you have the ability to get out and enjoy it, please do. This warmup does not look to last as models continue to suggest, and observations support, a return back to below normal temperatures (at least for the south) by next week.
