Record Highs Continue Across West and Plains; Death Valley Ties January Heat Record

The most remarkable record thus far happened in a place famous for recording the world's official record high temperature back in July 1913. Death Valley, California, reached 87 degrees on Sunday, tying its all-time record high for the month of January.
That record was originally set January 8, 1962. That's notable because around the same time, a massive arctic high pressure bubble began plunging south into Montana and the Northern Plains, bringing temperatures in the 40s below zero as far south as New Mexico and eventually supplying enough cold air for snow to fall along the Gulf Coast.
