This is called FM Sproadic E skip where you can hear stations 700 to 1500 miles away. It happens every year at least a few times from Late May to early August. There is also something called FM tropo where you can hear stations 150 to up to 600 miles away. Both are atmospheric events but the weather doesn't affect E skip at all but the weather affects tropo a lot.

Sounds logical, but tuning in stations from far away happens much more frequently on AM.  Still not willing to rule out the possibility that someone hit the wrong key on the satellite feed...
