No, we didn’t hit 72 degrees in Cleveland today. But, we were in the middle 50s. In fact, this morning, our temperature downtown was sitting at 54 degrees. Yes, that’s very unusual for this time of the year. Our normal high for this day is only 37, so much above normal. However, the real story comes from out West.
This morning, Denver is experiencing very cold arctic air. Temps well below zero. The temperature in Denver this morning plummeted to -18 degrees. That’s 18 degrees below zero! Some of the coldest air Denver has ever seen, let alone in December.
So, the difference… 72 degrees. Amazing. Even Chicago was sitting at 8 degrees.
Luckily for us, that arctic air will modify and warm a bit and slide to the North, sparing us, for now, that is. Highs Tuesday will be in the low 30s.
