Projection Time - Warmest January's On Record

Not too long ago, I did a brief analysis of the top ten warmest January's on record for Louisville, Lexington, and Bowling Green.

A minimum into the top ten is listed below...these are average temperatures ((high + low) / 2)

Louisville  41.0
Lexington   40.7
Bowling Green 42.8

While everyone will finish above normal at least in terms of temperature for the month of January, not everyone will finish with a top ten status.

This could still change, but I used the NWS Louisville forecast for the next 5 days for the above locations.

After a simple bit of math on my Excel program, the results are in...

Bowling Green will likely finish in the top ten warmest January's on their record books.

Louisville will just miss finishing in the top ten....

Lexington will not likely finish in the top ten....

Even without the record books, it was still a rather mild month overall, especially since we endured the brutal Arctic cold earlier this month.

I will provide further updates on my MikJournal Monday entry on January 30.
