Why is weather cold in winter? Wrong. HAARP

(The Weather Channel) Meteorologists predict the weather. The latest surge of record temperatures into next week will be a fitting end to one of the warmest winters in the Midwest and Northeast.

This week has already seen cities reach some of their "temperature firsts" of the year, including the first 60s in Bismarck, North Dakota; 70s in Springfield, Illinois; and 80s in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

T​here's more of that to come.

The Weather Channel (weather.com) keeps up with latest conditions throughout the country.

The Fire Next Time: forest fires from overgrowth

The forecast: With the exception of a cold front dropping through the Great Lakes then through the East Saturday, warmer-than-usual temperatures will dominate much of the rest of the country through this weekend, particularly in the nation's midsection.

T​hen, even warmer air will flow into the Plains and East next week ahead of a stronger cold front.

Where records may fall: Through the weekend, a few daily record highs may be set in parts of the Plains and Midwest. B​ut Monday and Tuesday, dozens of records are in jeopardy from Texas to North Dakota, the Great Lakes and Ohio Valley.

Among those, Dallas-Fort Worth could flirt with 90 degrees, a threshold the airport location has only reached three times in February since 1974. St. Louis could reach 80 degrees for only the ninth time in February dating to 1874. And Chicago could hit 70 degrees for only the sixth time in February since 1873. More:

It's always sunny in Southern California

Chad, looks like rain's a'comin. - I'll tell Barb.

Sunday night into Monday, possibly extending through Tuesday, California expects another unusual rainstorm, flooding, high surf, and relatively bitter cold with temps possibly dipping into the 50s, which locals may not have coats or shoes to protect themselves against. But maybe the usual shorts and flipflops will be able to handle it or central air and a poncho will have to do (lol).

• Torrential storms and a rising ocean are eating away at California, making it an island all over again, at least the Lower (Baja) part, most of which is still in Mexico because we only stole the Upper (Alta) part
