episode_narrativeHigh pressure was located over the southeast United States, while a potent low pressure system was located in the upper Mississippi Valley. In between, strong southwest winds brought unusually warm air into the Great Lakes. This resulted in the warmest February day in southeast Michigan history.In Detroit, the temperature rose to 70 degrees. This broke the all-time February record in Detroit (old record was 68 degrees on Feb 26, 1944), and was the earliest 70-degree day in Detroit history by almost a full month.In Flint, the high for the day was 68 degrees. This was not only the warmest February day in Flint history, but it smashed the old record by 5 degrees (63 degrees on Feb 23, 1984). Even more remarkable was that the 68 degrees obliterated the old record for February 11th by an astonishing 26 degrees!
