These graphics use the latest (00Z/06Z/12Z/18Z) National Digital Forecast Database (NDFD) grids and compare to the record database (from ThreadEx). Stations within 1°F of a record are plotted. Please note that minimum temperatures are forecast for the morning hours but the records encompass the entire calendar day; therefore, the low temperature for the day may occur just before midnight and may be lower than the early morning lowest temperature.
