| episode_narrative | Persistent southwest winds pulled warm air into southeast Wisconsin over a 2 day period of time, which was enough to set some new temperature records. The city of Sheboygan (Sheboygan Co.) set a new daily record high of 47 on the 2nd, and another new daily record high of 54 on the 3rd. The old record for the 3rd was 46. Janesville's (Rock Co.) high temperature of 54 on the 3rd broke the old daily maximum of 48 set back in 1952. The city of Milwaukee registered 53 degrees at 0200 CST on the 4th, breaking the old daily record of 50 set back in 1950. Normal maximum temperatures in early January are 26. Other locations in southcentral and southeast Wisconsin shared the warmth. Noteworthy was the fact that Lake Mendota and Lake Monona in Madison (Dane Co.) were still unfrozen. The Merrimac Ferry (Sauk Co.) broke it's record late winter closing date by continuing trips across the unfrozen Wisconsin River into the first few days of January. The previous late closing date was December 23, 1948. The ferry eventually ceased operations on January 13th, thanks to El Nino. |
