Record-Breaking weather

Record-Breaking Cold in July

July 17th, 2009 at 10:50 am by under News, Weather

We’re 20° below our normal high for today in Green Bay and NE WI. This will probably be a record-breaking day for many cities in the area for the lowest maximum temperatures.  The current record in Green Bay is 66° set in 1924; in Appleton it’s 70° last set in 1939 and in Oshkosh the record is 65° set in 1939.  For other cities check the map below.

These cool conditions are the result of an upper level low pressure area spinning to the north which is feeding in clouds and cool air.  Eventually the system will move to the east but we can expect another cool day Saturday before sunshin on Sunday.

When you look back at the year as a whole, we have actually been quite cool.  Taking it month by month shows that temperatures were above average only in the month of February.  See more here

Have a great weekend and I’ll talk to you Monday!
