Synopsis...

THE HOOSIER STATE SAW A RETURN TO MORE SEASONAL TEMPERATURES 
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AFTER SEVERAL DAYS BELOW NORMAL. READINGS 
CLIMBED INTO THE LOWER 80S AT MOST LOCATIONS. SKIES WERE MOSTLY 
SUNNY STATEWIDE TOO.

TONIGHT WILL BE MOSTLY CLEAR OVER NORTH AND CENTRAL SECTIONS AND 
PARTLY CLOUDY IN THE FAR SOUTH.  A WEAK RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE OVER 
INDIANA WILL DRIFT SLOWLY EASTWARD.  HOWEVER IT SHOULD PROVIDE ONE 
MORE DAY OF DRY WEATHER OVER CENTRAL AND NORTHERN SECTIONS ON 
THURSDAY.

LOW TEMPERATURES TONIGHT WILL RANGE FROM 60 TO 65 AND HIGH 
TEMPERATURES ON THURSDAY WILL BE IN THE MIDDLE 80S. AN AREA OF LOW 
PRESSURE IN THE UPPER ATMOSPHERE OVER THE CENTRAL U.S. WILL DRIFT 
TOWARDS THE OHIO VALLEY NEXT FEW DAYS.  THIS SYSTEM MAY PRODUCE A 
FEW THUNDERSTORMS LATE THURSDAY OVER SOUTHWEST SECTIONS OF OUR 
STATE.  THEN WE CAN EXPECT A BETTER CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS STATE 
WIDE BY FRIDAY.

FEBRUARY 23RD...HISTORIC WEATHER EVENTS...WITH KENTUCKY HIGHLIGHS...
...1802...
A great snowstorm raged along the New England coast producing 48 inches
of snow north of Boston. Three large ships from Salem were wrecked
along Cape Cod. (David Ludlum)
...1936...
A severe blizzard in the Sierra Nevada Range closed Donner Pass. It
stranded 750 motorists and claimed seven lives. (David Ludlum)
---------- KENTUCKY CLIMATE HIGHLIGHTS ---------
...FEBRUARY 1899...
February.  "The month will go down in Kentucky history as 'the
cold February'.  From the 9th to the 14th was a period of
unprecedented cold; the temperature in many portions of the State
going to 20 to 30 degrees below zero," and to -33 degrees F at
Sandy Hook on 2/11/1899.  In at least one location, "the Kentucky
River, solidly frozen, was possible for team and wagon."
Priddy, UKAWC
...1996...
The mercury climbed to 79 degrees at the Jackson KY NWS Weather Office. This 
reading represents the warmest February temperature ever recorded at the Jackson 
Weather Office since climate records begin in 1981.
