A Broken Record of Broken
Records
An unseasonably warm weather pattern set up across the Tennessee
Valley during the middle of April. In many cases, this weather pattern
was a record-breaker, with the recording sites at the Huntsville
International Airport and Northwest Alabama Regional Airport in
Muscle Shoals setting multiple records between April 15th and April
20th. At Muscle Shoals, at least one record was broken for 4 consecutive
days, from the 17th through the 20th.
A list of the broken records and their dates follows. (Note: "High
Low" indicates that the low temperature for that day was the
warmest low temperature on record.)
