Several daily temperature records were tied or broken in Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia, Delaware, and North Carolina today. Preliminary reports from the National Weather Service:
A RECORD HIGH TEMPERATURE OF 68 DEGREES WAS SET AT CHARLESTON WV TODAY.(Note the cherry-picking inherent in the sub-headline: Dulles records go back only 45 years. The old Feb. 7 record was highly vulnerable, since it was the only date in February never to have exceeded 60°.)
