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 14TH
HISTORIC WEATHER EVENTS
...1895...
Southeast Texas and Southwest Louisiana were paralyzed during the Gulf Coast 
Blizzard that dumped 31 inches of snow in twenty-four hours in some areas. Some 
snow drifts were 6 feet deep. Galveston recorded an incredible 15.4 inches of 
snow and both Houston and Beaumont had a whopping 20 inches.
...1899...
A great blizzard struck the eastern U.S. Washington D.C. received 20.5
inches of snow to bring their total snow depth to nearly three feet. The
storm produced 36 inches of snow at Cape May NJ. (David Ludlum)
...1940...
A "Saint Valentine's Day Blizzard" hit the northeastern U.S. Up to a foot
and a half of snow blanketed southern New England, and whole gales
accompanied the heavy snow stranding many in downtown Boston. (David
Ludlum)
...1947...
The first weather radar was installed, at Washington DC.
...2007...
Blizzard weather conditions and heavy snow had departed the Ohio Valley where 8 
to 14 inches of snow in sections of northern KY, to Chicage, IL was received. 
The low pressure system that the blizzard was associated with had moved up the 
east coast U.S. on this date as a "Nor-easter" and dumped 2 to 3 feet of snow in 
the New England states. (Priddy, UKAWC)
