Historic February heat: Temperatures reach triple-digits in South Texas

On Thursday, a weather station near La Puerta, TX rose to an incredible 104 degrees, tying the U.S. record for hottest winter (Dec-Feb) temperature ever recorded. While south Texas will cool slightly in the coming days, record heat will expand from other parts of Texas to California. February monthly records are in jeopardy across the region, including in Phoenix. This heat will ensure that nearly all the Intermountain West will experience its hottest winter on record.
