San Francisco also broke a 132-year record for the lowest Feb. 24 temperature ever documented as the mercury dipped to 39 degrees Fahrenheit on Friday morning, one degree lower than the previous record set in 1891, McCorkle said.The storm was expected to strengthen on Friday and linger over California through Saturday, the NWS said.
