I saw this article on the weather site that I visit frequently, and thought it was pretty amazing! A 73 degree F temperature rise in 24 hours!
Statement as of 5:18 am EST on February 20, 2007
... 73 degree temperature rise in 24 hours at Watertown...
The low temperature on Monday morning February 19th was 35 degrees
below zero at Watertown New York... a new record low for the date.
Just 24 hours later the temperature at Watertown is 38 degrees above
zero... producing an astounding 24 hour temperature change of 73
degrees.
A cold Arctic airmass settled over the north country and Watertown
Sunday night. That combined with a local drainage flow... which
allows cold air to pool near the Watertown Airport... resulted in the
severe cold of Monday morning. Late Monday afternoon... a warm front
passed through the region with rising temperatures overnight...
resulting in the incredible difference in just one day.
