Last night this time, it was 56 degrees. Tonight Negative 5. That's a 61 degree drop in 24 hours. sounds like one for the record books. southwest Pa.

Seen it swing that much in one day (after sun-up).
Just it went the other way.

It set a record here, 65° change in 24 hours. IIRC the old record was 64°

Think North Dakota has the record with an 80* swing.

When we moved here we watched Denver News on Sat. One day they were all excited the weather man said it 70 deg. Today it snowed 6 in. It's seem a cold front came though from the north and dropped the temp in a few hours. Funny thing they showed a poor guy who rode his bike to work in the morning.

I was going to post the ones about Oklahoma. I'm not old enough to remember the 69* change haha. I do remember a couple years ago where Nowata, OK. saw -31* and 79* in the same week. A 110* swing is a lot even though it was in a week span. It seems like 50*ish temp swings are kind of normal around here, at least a few times every year and usually within an hour or two when stong fronts move through.

I am in south central Pa, and am in the middle of the same weather as you. I was out last night and I could just feel it getting colder and colder and I was only out for about 2 hours.

That temp headed south like Sherman for Georgia....

They missed this one...

The largest recorded temperature change in one place over a 24-hour period occurred on January 15, 1972 in Loma, Montana, when the temperature rose from −54 to 49 °F (−47.8 to 9.4 °C).
