We hit 87° today, which, well, I’ll just let the National Weather Service tell you:
FOLKS WERE BREAKING OUT THE SHORTS, TANK TOPS AND FLIP-FLOPS THIS AFTERNOON IN NASHVILLE, AS RECORD-BREAKING HEAT ROLLED IN. THE HIGHEST TEMPERATURE RECORDED SO FAR TODAY IN MUSIC CITY HAS BEEN 86 DEGS, WHICH HANDILY SHATTERED THE OLD RECORD OF 82 SET BACK IN 2012. INTERESTINGLY, THE 87 DEG HIGH TODAY MAKES THIS THE WARMEST WINTER DAY EVER RECORDED IN NASHVILLE SINCE RECORD- KEEPING BEGAN WAY BACK IN 1871. THE OLD SEASON RECORD AT NASHVILLE WAS 86 DEGS, SET PREVIOUSLY ON MARCH 12 AND 13, 1907, MARCH 18, 1908 AND MARCH 19, 1982.
