Wow, the largest Artic outbreak in years over the great lakes and plains. In 90s in Florida. The weather is weird.

It's no wonder there were major tornadoes with temperatures like that...

Now I don't think we'll see 90s this week but I do think temperatures will warm to the 80s by Thursday and Friday in some locations in central/south Florida.

But those 90s temperatures last week are very warm for this time of year...very surprising for February.
