| 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 the immediate Washington, DC metropolitan region over a 2 1/2 day period beginning around midnight on the 6th and continuing until around noon on the 9th. A new record high temperature was set at National Airport on the 8th. More interestingly, temperatures remained above 55 degrees for over 48 hours, spanning two mornings when the normal low temperatures were nearly 30 degrees colder!After nine days, mean temperatures across the metropolitan region were between 18 and 20 degrees above normal - more like April than early January. |
