Record Cold Start To Thursday

We've added another weather record to our growing list for 2011.  The morning low at Spokane International Airport  for June 9th was 39 degrees.  The previous record of 40 was set in 1999.  Records have been kept in Spokane since 1881.  Meanwhile, we have yet to hit our first official 80 degree (or higher) day in Spokane.  The record for the latest 80 degree reading is June 13th, and based on the 7-day outlook, that record is also in jeopardy.  Stay tuned....
