What is a warm front?

41 to 62 in 1 hour now 64

Winter 25-26. Never forget Still getting rogue model runs of snow 17-20th range. Doubtful, but not impossible

Think I will be scraped by the line but no direct hit. .

Interesting. Looks like most of the cold was on the other side of the hemisphere, as well as that strip of colder across northern Canada and AK. I would imagine given that distribution, a huge and persistent ridge over the eastern half to 2/3 of North America and another over much of Europe/Scandinavia (though not as warm there). It's kind of reminiscent of how warm December 2015 was here (similar warm departure). I'm just grateful we got those large departures in December and March, and not a +9 in July!!!

The warmth has been crazy all winter out West. Glad its not here though. Detroit hasn't had a warmer than avg month since October.

The ensembles go to day 16 and its cold in the Great Lakes and east coast

incredible pictures!!! low 60s here, beautiful night!

Looks like it did! Seeing some lightning to the north for the first thunderstorm of the year!

Lol since my last post we are now at 60F!

Yep. Clinch Leatherwood was notable…he was the original Messenger on WWBB. RIP…we lost him in 2015 but his legacy lives in everytime we mention the Messenger Shuffle. I also recognize so many names that just drifted off the board over the years but were pretty consistent posters on here.

Crazy temps going on here in Calvert. Laid down in bed to read 8min ago and the temp outside said 51F. Now just 8min later it's 58F and rising! Every time I look at my weather station it's increased a degree or two.

An interesting thing about March 2012 was actually how cold it was in the N. Hemisphere I recall almost hitting 90F that month

Well, I recall March 2012 was insanely warm (+9 departure at DCA for the month), DCA hit 80+ degrees four times. Only two nighttime lows at or below freezing, the rest were well above. The cherry blossoms were essentially finished blooming by St. Patrick's Day since they came out very early. I believe that was an extremely warm month for much of the eastern third of the country. (ETA: In fact, I remember seeing that some location in upper Michigan had a low temperature one day that was a few degrees warmer than the previous record HIGH for that particular date; it also of course broke a new record high).

Nice shower coming through.

Thanks lotta strange names in there i don't recognize..16 years ago

Zero snow cover on my property for first time since new years.

KATL once again had a record high today of 83, beating the daily record by 3! Tonight’s 0Z runs will be the last runs to be released during standard time. Starting with tomorrow’s 6Z runs, they’ll be released an hour later on the clock due to the switch to DST at 2AM. That won’t change back til early Nov assuming no changes in the law before then.

Light to mod rain for us on the drive up 83 to home just now. The fog just S of the border was scary thick though - couldn’t see lights from the cars on the opposite side of 83.

I feel like we've been tracking this warmup forever. NWS has DC hitting 83F on Wednesday! While it's still technically Winter!

@The 4 Seasons

.49 rain from the thunderstorms tonight. 2.23 rain for the week.

I was hearing more strikes on AM Radio frequencys then the lightning detection network was picking up. I'm not speaking for home lightning detectors, I know nothing about them.
