When the thermometer hit 70 degrees at about 1:30 this afternoon, we officially tied a record high in Knoxville/Pella. The temperature had previously hit 70 degrees in 1966. WeatherEye predicts that the temperature won’t go quite above 70 to reach a new record, but KNIA/KRLS will continue to monitor the temperature to let you know. Tomorrow’s record high is 67 degrees – the National Weather Service predicts we’ll be close again tomorrow, reaching 64.
