Record Temperatures on Target for Wednesday

Good Evening! Enough sunshine broke out on Tuesday to boost temperatures to 70 degrees in some areas, including the Salisbury Airport. Salisbury missed tying the record by two degrees but Wallops Island broke the old record of 65 set back in 1991 with a high today of 72. There is a very good chance of breaking more records on Wednesday as the core of the warmest air moves through.

Here are some record temperatures for Wed February 6th.
Salisbury record high lowest temperature: 47
Salisbury record high: 65
Georgetown record high: 72
Wallops Island record high: 60


Along with these record temperatures in the East, there has been severe weather going on in the South along a strong cold front. So far today there has been 24 tornado reports across Arkansas, Northern Mississippi, Western Tennessee, and Western Kentucky. Along with numerous wind and hail damage reports across the South.

SPC (Storm Prediction Center) has Delmarva under a slight risk for severe storms as the cold front advances to the East coast. However, I think the chance will be small though since the main energy of the storm system is forecast to weaken and pass by to the West and North of Delmarva. If any thunderstorms due develop, the main threat from them will be strong winds, as mid and upper level winds through the atmosphere will be very strong. The best chance for showers will be in the evening and the night time hours on Wednesday. Enjoy the Spring weather!
