Its on orange street in Lew.

Has the Sabattus / Orange water main break washed any of it away?!

Yep, onshore flow and low cloud gunk.

Thanks, Don. Fantastic post! I’ll just add that, as I assume you realize, that LA and SD did actually both hit 99 on 3/29/1879 and that those remain their hottest on record in all of March. The 100 of 3/29/1879 remained at least tied for the hottest in all of March in Yuma til it hit 102 in 2004. And the current heatwave obliterated these as you know with 109 for the hottest (3/20/2026). So, I agree that the tweeter is taking what was largely a localized historic heat event for S CA and making it seem as if it were in a much larger region and more historic in the SW US overall than the current one. Aside: Meteorology related Q: I wonder why this official map shows onshore (SE) winds in LA and a temp. of 97 at 1:35PM PST on 3/29/1879? The 97 is consistent with the 99 high, but the SE winds aren’t. Anyone know? My guess is that the winds had been offshore til just before 1:35PM and that the 99 high occurred a little before 1:35PM. If so, the temps were just starting to fall with the SE winds. Note that SD, also shown with SE winds then, had already fallen way down to 79 then. Thus, I’m guessing their winds shifted sooner: https://library.oarcloud.noaa.gov/docs.lib/htdocs/rescue/dwm/1879/18790329.pdf

Getting 3 severe weather threats in less than 2 weeks in the middle of March is kinda wild not gonna lie. I'm glad it's raining a lot more now not just because of the drought but because I really enjoy heavy rains. All the drought was really depressing lol

That's crazy

36 in northeast Illinois and 88 in southwest Illinois. Wild gradient

Had a brief snow shower that covered the ground, now just a cold rain.

Forget it if this is right

Just in time for April

*shudder* That was the year after I opened a ski/snowboard shop. Both of my first two years sucked for snow.

Timber just in time for April

Snark with nothing useful, thanks

Nah, temps will bust low. Don’t think most of us crack 50 east of the city

Snowed for a bit earlier but driveway has cleared itself already. Dropped from 35 to 34.

you're enjoying it too much..act like it hurts

If the new EPS is correct, it’s going to get very warm again the 1st week of April

EPS is projecting a TC or possibly a pair/twin TC’s to develop within the big WWB. What happens with those could be very important in terms of how strong this El Niño gets down the road…..

Eyeballing about 2” in Glen, NH.

very chilly this morning i was out in my full winter gear

I just came along to mention the same exact thing. Seems to me that this one may produce better than Monday did.

The dude was an international superstar!
