Record Warmth At Christmas?
Did some digging through the books this morning… here are the top ten warmest Christmas Days since 1900 at Birmingham…
DECEMBER 25 RECORDED HIGHS AT BIRMINGHAM
74 1987
73 1982, 1942
72 1964
71 1926, 1922
70 1901
69 1971
68 1974, 1904
As you can see, we have exceeded 70 degrees on Christmas Day six times… 1987, 1982, 1942, 1964, 1926, and 1922.
Can we beat the record high of 74 set in 1987? Ensemble data is showing a high of 69 for Birmingham Friday, but we all know that can change.
We will also need to monitor for strong storms Wednesday as severe weather parameters are ramping up a bit, but there is a good bit of uncertainty in this potential.
