12 Oct 09 - We haven't just set new records, we've blown them
out of the water. The lows have been 10, 11 and 8 the last three
mornings in Missoula, and we've gone at least nine degrees lower
than the old record each morning.
The lowest average temperature for the entire year comes in late
December and early January. That number is 15 degrees.
A record low of 8 degrees was set at the Missoula Airport on Monday
morning, breaking the old record of 22 set in 2002.
Meanwhile, Kalispell saw a very cold 2 degrees, breaking the record
of 14 set in 2002. The thermometer plunged to just 5 degrees in
Kalispell on Saturday, well below the previous record of 16 set in
October of 1987.
Butte checked in with a record low temperature for October 12th of 6
degrees, breaking the old record of 10 set in 2008.
In Billings, the mercury dipped to 14 degrees on Sunday, breaking the
1959 record of 22 degrees. On Monday morning, the temp fell to 13,
breaking the old mark of 22 degrees set in 1969. Weather officials warm
the thermometer could drop even further in the Magic City.
