Should see some stuff redevelop later this morning and that will probably be snow in minor the area. But daytime and time of year etc. maybe highest spots try to coat. As we get into evening most areas have a better shot of a coating to maybe an inch. Depending on banding, it’s possible spots this morning NoP get C-1” too.

Gravy train here gonna be near an inch of rain soon.

Light snow here.. whitening up a bit.. wish we had more precip

Topped out at 88.5 yesterday. The pollening has begun

Yes.. +0.5 is really strong correlation

Stuff coming....right in time for the morning commute. 54F

I still have a few crusty, muddy, weenie snow piles hanging on in the far side of the back lawn. It’s pretty damn incredible considering all the rain and relative warmth we’ve had recently. That pack has practically been bulletproof since late February!

Very nice. It looks like my cell merged with a another storm from just south and produced your tor. One small thing I'll always regret about that chase was leaving my original position just to the south of Good Hope. Sat there for a short while with an excellent view of the approaching wall cloud, but repositioned a bit south to get out of the large hail threat. If I would have stayed there I would have captured a very nice long-lived time lapse of the approaching sup and evolution of the developing tor at very close range, as it passed very close to the original location. Here's where I wish I stayed put...

Not sure what on earth is happening, but something is definitely up this summer. Oh wait! It's early Spring!

Are the NAM thermals onto a sliver of SN+ over SNE tomorrow morning? Are some folks going to wake up surprised to see some springtime paste before the #sunangle gets to work? Or are they back smoking something?

WOW Dale City hit 84/54 today, in late March?!!!! Dale City's normal temperatures are a high of 56, a low of 37 degrees. This is going to be a VERY VERY hot summer! Some locations in the Mid Atlantic got hotter than Buda today which only managed to eke out mid 80s. Mammoth is averaging 50s and 60s and the snow is getting very shallow all over. To all intents and purposes the jet stream is up north for good and it is now late spring early summer in the Sierra. Snowmelt is rapid and many resorts will be forced to close early. Earliest end to winter up there in a century.

Great shot showing the dramatic carved-out updraft structure. Possibly would have gotten this one except my chase partner couldn't leave work in Madison until 4. We got a brief look at the Trivoli tornado from the west edge of Hanna City, which I believe was produced from the same storm or one that evolved out of it after a merger. We were not really expecting a tornado by that point in the chase as it had gotten dark and the storm had looked like junk on radar just minutes before, so we were rather spooked by the rapid turnaround and hightailed it out of there before we could get a better shot.

Rest in power brother

As far as I can tell, the 90F high temperature measured in Hancock today by the Mesonet was the highest temperature measured in Maryland for the date (03/22). The previous record was 88F (tied at multiple sites and dates). It's definitely not the March all-time though ; That record is 97F on 03/30/1998 in Downtown Baltimore.

Wow, that is an impressive pack! Vermont mountains are way ahead of New Hampshire and Maine this year. I went through Crawford Notch this weekend and was not impressed by the amount of snow.

The pack was brutalized from the warm-up two weeks ago. Did some hiking and most of the lower elevation woods are 3”-6” with lots of bare ground, I didn’t ski this weekend, but went by Wildcat and Attitash and it didn’t look great. The 4”-6”today was definitely a much-needed refresher.

5” today… 70” depth… 288” measured season total. Cleared and reset for the next snowfall.

It's headed to +QBO territory by winter 26-27, that usually means less blocking and a stronger polar vortex.

what's the pack like up at Glen? Or even Wildcat if you went?

I never questioned the overall scope of the heat out west currently. Just details are important in the sciences. Such an event allowed an exercise in presenting such details in the form of limits and caveats of how we measure and record wx data, along w/ some ancillary practical information. That is a good thing.

I agree, nothing burger. The air was just not unstable enough today. The northern areas need the rain too. At least there has been no wind issues- I so sick of picking up limbs in the yard

As CoastalWx might have said if he had this scenic view, "IT LOOKS VIOLENTLY BEAUTIFUL OUT THERE!!!" Never in 1000 years would have ever thought to pair the words "violently" and "beautiful" together!

Of course, I'd hope as a science board we all had this type of nuance and discretion. We see posters question observations all the time, ahem Coastalwx. There should be an understanding that we all can see the signs of stations running off the rails (MADIS analysis) on here. But the discussion started on the western heat, too. Regardless of what we think of instruments, extra sitings, etc... this has been a high-end heater out west. Even if certain sites may run warm, the 50,000 foot view of this is a high-end heater. Even if we chalk up and toss several sites for setting their April records to siting or instrumentation.

There was a beautiful snowy day in North Conway. Decided to drive back tonight because the roads were just wet pavement. The fog on Rt 9 in NH from Peterborough to Brattleboro was white knuckle insane! I’m going to drink a double IPA and go lay on the floor to decompress.

I’m roughly projecting that March 2026 at Phoenix will end up 12-13 F above normal. The current warmest of any month of the year is only 10-11 F AN. Side note: the NAO for this month is likely going to end up the most positive of any month since 1950! Does a +NAO in March favor a warm SW US?
