Warmth October 8ThA very mild air mass surged in behind a huge high pressure system that has been keeping us dry for the past week. High temperatures soared up to 20 degrees the normal highs of the Lower 60s. 80s were common across much of the local area, breaking record high temperatures in some places, Some Southwesterly locations even recorded Mid 80s for highs, Shorts and short sleeves were common on people this weekend, a rare site on a mid October day!
The warm streak actually started back on the 5th when highs started bumping into the 70s, the days kept getting progressively warmer as the week went on. My station reported a high 0f 82.F Friday, and a high of 82.F Saturday. This goes down as the latest 80s degree highs I've recorded at the 1st October I've recorded with 80s for highs. My low was 54 for Friday and 55 for Saturday, which is closer to what our highs should be! and the sun makes it feel actually quite warm, and a slight haze could be seen, making it feel more summer-like then fall!
The warmest high was 86.F which was reported in River Falls and Hudson. The coolest high was 78.F reported in Spooner.
