New product allows you to explore record-setting extreme weather
We've launched a new extreme weather product this week: Record Extremes. Recent, globally record-setting years have demanded a product that combines U.S. and international record extremes into one, easy to use interface. The Record Extremes page will give you the option to see U.S. and international records on a map and table. You can select any combination of record types at once, which, combined with the map, provides a interesting visual way to investigate record-setting events. The product uses data from three sources: (1) NOAA's National Climate Data Center, (2) Wunderground's U.S. records, and (3) Wunderground's International records.
The NCDC records begin in 1850 and include official NOAA record extreme events for ASOS and COOP weather stations in all 50 U.S. states as well as Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and the Pacific Islands. In this database you can find records for maximum high temps, minimum high temps, maximum low temps, minimum high temps, snow, and precipitation on daily, monthly, and all-time scales.
The Wunderground extremes were compiled by our weather historian Christopher C. Burt. Chris monitors 300 stations across the U.S. for Record Extremes in maximum and minimum temperature, precipitation, and snow events. Most of these U.S. records go back to the end of the 19th century, though the oldest site in this database is Charleston, SC, where precipitation records started in 1737! Internationally, Chris monitors 150 countries worldwide for all-time record high temperatures and all-time record low temperatures. If you're interested in diving deeper into extreme weather in the U.S. and abroad, Chris's book Extreme Weather is an excellent resource.
Figure 1. All-time snow records broken during the Groundhog Day Blizzard of 2011. These records were found by selecting NCDC as the source, a start date of 2011-01-31, an end date of 2011-02-02, "maximum snowfall," and "all-time."
We built the Record Extremes product to make it easy to find specific records you're looking for, or just browse the records in general.
Check records that were set on a specific date
You can check on records that were set yesterday, for example, by setting the calendar to yesterday's date, and selecting all the record variables and types that you're interested in.
Explore all records set in a certain time range
2011 was a record-setting year for the U.S., and most of the records were high maximum temp and high minimum temps. To see all of these warm records that were set last year, select "NCDC" as the source, 2011-01-01 as the start date and 2011-12-31 as the end date. Select Maximum High Temp and Maximum Low Temp in weather variables, and select all-time in the record type.
View current standing international records in the Wunderground database
Select either the Wunderground International records, and instead of choosing a date range, select "Show current standing records." This will bring up all standing records in the database for whatever record variable and type you select. Whereas we've collected every record ever set or broken from NCDC, the Wunderground records are always the current, standing record, whenever it was set. As you move your map around the globe, you'll see each country's all-time maximum high temp and all-time maximum low temp.
Filter your table results
Looking for a specific location or record within your search results? Use the "Filter Results" option in the table to narrow down your search.
Let us know what you think!

Mid-level lapse rates are up to 7.0 C/KM
Great point Chucktown. How much sun we get today will determine how unstable we get this afternoon. Very unseasonable for temps.
I'll find out much more info shortly. I was just informed that we have a media briefing / webinar with Charleston NWS in 15 minutes.
Yes, something is going on with all the radars. My GR2Analyst isn't loading several radar sites.
I noticed that too
i cant see the watches or mesoscale discussions.
But storm reports was working
Well, they're split into two right now: Tornado Watch 35 and Tornado Watch 36.
That is going to be our most limiting factor. Right now partly sunny at best. Wind profiles and dewpoints very impressive for February, just not sold on the "classic outbreak" cliche. One thing as I said last night, its still February, sun angle is basically where it would be in late October.
No, the site is having problems.
no and it is my home page
the websites seem to be down in srh websites

AS OF 10 AM FRIDAY...A VERY WARM AND HUMID AIRMASS THIS MORNING WILL
SET THE STAGE FOR A POTENTIALLY WIDESPREAD SEVERE WEATHER EVENT THIS
EVENING.
TEMPS ALREADY IN THE LOWER 70S ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA WITH
DEWPOINTS IN THE LOW/MID 60S...QUITE UNUSUAL FOR LATE FEBRUARY...ARE
THE PRECURSOR TO WHAT COULD BE A WIDESPREAD WIND EVENT THIS EVENING.
LOW PRESSURE OVER THE OHIO VALLEY IS DRAPING A COLD FRONT WHICH IS
CURRENTLY LOCATED FROM AROUND KNOXVILLE, TN...SW TO HOUSTON, TX.
THIS FRONT WILL RACE EASTWARD TODAY AND CROSS THE ILM CWA THIS
EVENING...EXITING OFFSHORE BY MIDNIGHT. A PRE-FRONTAL SQUALL LINE
WILL LEAD THIS FRONT...AND SEVERE STORMS ARE ANTICIPATED WITHIN THIS
LINE.
LATEST SWODY1 FROM SPC HAS THE ENTIRE ILM CWA IN A MODERATE
RISK...WITH 45% HATCHED FOR WIND...AND TORNADO WATCHES ALREADY
BORDER THE WESTERN EDGE OF THE CWA. THIS IN ITSELF IS A SIGN OF THE
THREAT...BUT MANY PARAMETERS WORKING IN FAVOR OF SEVERE WEATHER THIS
EVENING. STRONG SW LLJ OF 50-60 KTS WILL IMPINGE INTO THE AREA THIS
AFTN AND HELP TO INCREASE MOISTURE THROUGH THE COLUMN. AT THE SAME
TIME...THESE ENHANCED WINDS WILL INCREASE LOW LEVEL SHEAR AND
HELICITY...WITH 0-3 KM SRH APPROACHING 300 M2/S2 AHEAD OF THE FRONT.
UPPER LEVEL WINDS INCREASE DRAMATICALLY AS WELL AS THE COASTAL
CAROLINAS GET INTO THE FAVORABLE RIGHT ENTRANCE PORTION OF A 180 KT
UPPER JET...AND 0-6 KM SHEAR IS PROGGED TO EXCEED 70 KTS THIS EVE.
THESE WIND FIELDS SUGGEST RAPIDLY MOVING STORMS...AND FORWARD
PROPAGATING CORFIDI VECTORS EXCEED 70 KTS...SHOWING JUST HOW FAST
STORMS COULD BE MOVING WITHIN THE SQUALL LINE. THIS RAPID MOTION
COMBINED WITH STRONG WIND FIELDS MEANS THAT ANY CONVECTION SHOULD
MIX DOWN VERY STRONG...DAMAGING...WIND GUSTS. ALTHOUGH THERE IS A
TORNADO THREAT AS WELL...ESPECIALLY IF THE LINE BREAKS INTO MORE
DISCRETE STRUCTURES...MOST OF THE SHEAR IS UNIDIRECTIONAL SO WIND IS
BY FAR THE PREDOMINANT THREAT. ANTICIPATE THAT THE AREA WILL GET PUT
INTO A TORNADO WATCH THIS AFTN. SQUALL LINE WILL EXIT THE COASTAL
WATERS BY AROUND 10 PM...BRINGING AN END TO THE WEATHER THREAT TODAY.
TEMPS TODAY WILL RISE WELL INTO THE 70S AWAY FROM THE GRAND STRAND
AND SOUTHERN CAPE FEAR COAST. A SIGNIFICANT AIR MASS CHANGE BEHIND
THE FRONT WILL DROP MINS TO AROUND 40 TONIGHT.
It's going to be rough.

We've been on it could be a large tornado on the ground west of Monroeville,AL. Largest tornadoes may actually be from this area to Charleston,SC.

...SYNOPSIS...
POTENT IL SHORTWAVE TROUGH EXPECTED TO UNDERGO FURTHER AMPLIFICATION
AS IT CONTINUES E/NE TO THE LWR GRT LKS THIS EVE AND INTO ME/NB
EARLY SAT. ASSOCIATED MID LVL JET STREAK NOW CENTERED OVER THE
OZARKS/LWR OH VLY ALSO SHOULD STRENGTHEN AS IT REACHES THE CNTRL
APPALACHIANS LATER TODAY...WITH 500 MB SWLY WINDS INCREASING TO AOA
110 KT OVER THE CAROLINAS/VA. THE MAIN SFC LOW SHOULD DEEPEN NNEWD
FROM OH TO LK ONTARIO...WITH A SECONDARY CENTER POSSIBLY FORMING
ALONG STNRY FRONT OVER MD/DE. AS THE OH LOW DEEPENS...ATTENDANT
COLD FRONT WILL ACCELERATE E/SE ACROSS THE SRN/CNTRL APPALACHIANS BY
EARLY AFTN. THE BOUNDARY SHOULD EXTEND FROM THE DELMARVA PENINSULA
SW ACROSS THE S ATLANTIC CSTL PLN BY EVE...AND WILL SERVE AS A FOCUS
FOR NUMEROUS STRONG TO SVR TSTMS.
...SOUTHEAST TO MID-ATLANTIC TODAY/EARLY TNGT ...
COMBINATION OF VERY STRONG WIND FIELD OVERSPREADING A MODESTLY
UNSTABLE...GRADUALLY MOISTENING WARM SECTOR WILL YIELD AN ENHANCED
POTENTIAL FOR TSTMS WITH DMGG WIND AND TORNADOES OVER PARTS OF THE
SOUTHEAST AND MID ATLANTIC CSTL PLN TODAY.
WHILE THE MIDWESTERN TROUGH WILL REMAIN LARGELY POSITIVELY TILTED AS
IT CONTINUES ENEWD...CURRENT SATELLITE AND MODEL DATA SUGGEST THAT
THE SYSTEM WILL BECOME SUBSTANTIALLY MORE PROGRESSIVE AS ASSOCIATED
JET STREAK SWEEPS ENE TOWARD THE MID ATLANTIC STATES. THIS...IN
CONJUNCTION WITH SFC HEATING AND WEAK COLD ADVECTION/MOISTENING AT
700 MB...SHOULD GRADUALLY WEAKEN/ELIMINATE EXISTING WARM SECTOR CINH
AND SUPPORT INCREASING COVERAGE/INTENSITY OF SCTD CONVECTION NOW
PRESENT ALONG AND AHEAD OF AFOREMENTIONED COLD FRONT. THE DYNAMICAL
PART OF THIS PROCESS ALREADY MAY BE UNDERWAY OVER THE SW PART OF SVR
RISK AREA...GIVEN RECENT STRENGTHENING OF CONVECTION/STORMS IN
AL/GA.
THE AL/GA TSTMS SHOULD CONTINUE TO INCREASE IN COVERAGE/STRENGTH
THROUGH THIS MORNING...WITH ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT LIKELY OVER TIME
NEWD INTO NC/VA. DEVELOPMENT IN THE CAROLINAS AND VA WILL BE
ENCOURAGED BY INFLOW OF MORE MOIST AIR /PW AOA 1.5 INCHES AND
DEWPOINTS IN THE LWR 60S F/ FROM THE CNTRL/ERN GULF CST...AND BY
CONVERGENCE ALONG OUTFLOW BOUNDARY PROGRESSING E FROM OVERNIGHT
STORMS IN KY/TN.
50-60 KT SWLY LLJ BENEATH STRENGTHENING MID/UPR LVL FLOW WILL YIELD
70+ KT CLOUD LAYER SHEAR. ASSUMING THE PRESENCE OF SUSTAINED
UPDRAFTS...LONG...SLIGHTLY HOOKED HODOGRAPHS SUGGEST THE LIKELIHOOD
FOR SUPERCELL STORMS/SMALL BOWS CAPABLE OF BOTH SWATHS OF DMGG WIND
AND TORNADOES. THIS THREAT SHOULD BE GREATEST OVER PARTS OF SRN/ERN
VA SWD INTO CNTRL/ERN PARTS OF THE CAROLINAS...WHERE HEATING SHOULD
BE GREATEST INVOF LWR TROPOSPHERIC WIND MAX. THE STORMS EVENTUALLY
SHOULD EVOLVE INTO BROKEN LINES...WITH EMBEDDED SUPERCELLS/MESOSCALE
CIRCULATIONS EXTENDING THE SVR THREAT TO THE CST BY EARLY EVE.
