IF YOU THOUGHT FEBRUARY WAS WARMER THAN NORMAL IN ALBUQUERQUE, YOU’RE RIGHT. NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE METEOROLOGIST ANDY CHURCH TELLS NEWSRADIO KKOB THE AVERAGE TEMPERATURE WAS ABOUT FIVE DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL. THAT MAY NOT SOUND LIKE MUCH, BUT CHURCH SAYS IT’S SIGNIFICANT. HE SAYS WHEN YOU START PUSHING FIVE DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL, THAT’S EXTRAORDINARY.
CHURCH SAYS NUMEROUS PACIFIC AIR MASSES MOVED INTO THE STATE IN FEBRUARY…BUT NOTHING FROM THE NORTH, RESULTING IN WARMER THAN NORMAL TEMPERATURES.
