Wacky Weather: Spring like temperatures in January

We don't have to go far for this week Wacky Weather. Most of the country is on a temperature roller coaster ride. While most of us are welcoming this warm air in the middle of winter, spring like temperatures brings spring like severe weather with it. That's right, thunder, lighting, hail, strong wind, and even some tornadoes are being recorded over the country. Below is a picture of storm reports from the past 24hrs from the Storm Prediction Center. 

I also dug up the temperature map from a week ago when most of the country was in a deep freeze and compared it with today's temperature map. Below the two maps on tops are from Jan. 22, 2013 and the two maps on the bottom are from Jan 29th, 2013.
