| episode_narrative | A sprawling area of high atmospheric pressure became anchored over the western Atlantic for several days. Circulation around the high brought an unencumbered flow of tropical air from the Caribbean region into all of Virginia for a 2 1/2 day period beginning around midnight on the 6th and continuing until around noon on the 9th. New record high temperatures were set at Dulles Airport (VAZ042) on these days. More interestingly, temperatures remained above 60 degrees across much of western Virginia for over 48 hours, spanning two mornings when the normal low temperatures were some 40 degrees colder!In fact, there was one cooling degree day recorded during the the period (January 8). After nine days, the mean temperatures across northern Virginia were between 15 and 20 degrees above normal - more like April than early January. |
