  1. Past hour
  2. Reached 82 here. Liking this May in March weather.
  3. Records everywhere today-NYC 80 also earliest 80 since records began
  4. I put this in the other thread. Anybody grading this winter has to include this brutal march. This lowers the grade for the whole winter. 3/10 and 80 is like Early Dec and 80
  5. Ok real stupid question for u all... Check out this system in the gulf... Would that be a tropical system in March??
  6. 83 at PHL, breaks the old record of 82 in 2016, and is the earliest in the season that we've reached that temp.
  7. My melted out spots dried out quickly today in that hot sun. Unmelted disaster
  8. The 1990 record was sooner or later going to be broken.
  9. Would be cool to get a potent shortwave like the Euro shows around 3/21-3/22, but traversing SE across NJ instead of Maine, lol.
  10. Updated: Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service State College PA 337 PM EDT Tue Mar 10 2026 .WHAT HAS CHANGED... * Near-term temperature and dew point adjustments * Conditional threat for tornadoes expanded to cover all of south-central Pennsylvania. && .KEY MESSAGES... 1) Spring-like conditions continues through Wednesday. 2) Numerous showers and scattered thunderstorms tomorrow. Some storms may be severe with damaging winds along with the possibility of a few tornadoes. 3) Settling into a cooler and windy pattern for the end of the week and weekend. && .DISCUSSION... KEY MESSAGE 1: Spring-like conditions continues through Wednesday. As heights continue to build over the eastern US into Wednesday, temps in central PA may challenge daily records as they surge +20-30 degrees above the historical average. With highs in the upper 60s-70s and lows in the 50s (Tue night), it will feel more like an average day in mid-May than mid-March. Record-breaking temperatures on Tuesday have already been observed as of 3PM across the region, with more information on those records coming with the 5PM evening climate report. Recent forecast continues to outline record-breaking warmth potential tonight and for high temperatures on Wednesday. See the climate section for more information on possible records. Isolated to scattered showers/thundershowers are possible this afternoon and evening during the peak of diurnal heating, with increased sfc moisture and modest lapse rates aloft creating just enough instability for convection. Showers across NW PA have already been observed with better instability/shear slightly north of the border; however, cannot rule out showers/thunderstorms in the near-term across Warren/McKean counties. Focus for shower activity this evening shifts closer to the central-third of the forecast area, based on recent HREF model guidance. KEY MESSAGE 2: Numerous showers and scattered thunderstorms tomorrow. Some storms may be severe with damaging winds along with the possibility of a few tornadoes. A cold front will sweep through Wednesday night into Thursday, as an upper trough approaches the region. Ahead of the front, numerous showers and some thunderstorms are anticipated during the daytime and evening on Wednesday. The SPC Day 2 (Wednesday) Slight Risk area continues to include practically all of central PA with minor changes to the afternoon update today, with changes limited to expanding the CIG1 hatching across the southern tier of Pennsylvania (see more below). The main uncertainty with respect to this threat continues to be instability with recent HREF model guidance indicating considerable cloudiness across much of the area (maybe SE PA sneaks out a couple breaks early) by sunrise Wednesday. Recent model guidance does continue to like the idea of some shower activity in the morning hours, which could further limit instability for the afternoon/evening hours. Probabilities of SBCAPE exceeding 500 J/kg in the most recent HREF have decreased some with recent guidance indicating a second corridor along I-81 and extending closer to the Harrisburg area; however, probabilities have even dropped in this corridor as well. With winds of 40-50 kts in the lowest 3km of the atmosphere, it wouldn`t take much to bring some damaging winds down the ground. In contrast with the system over this past weekend, there will be more shower activity during the day on Wednesday but also a more moist airmass in place before storms arrive, and no cool air damming signal over east central PA. Given the very strong low-level winds and Gulf moisture connection, the resultant 850 mb moisture flux is progged to be about as strong as it can be this time of year across western PA. While damaging straight line winds will be the primary threat with Wednesday`s convection, the SPC D2 outlook also includes CIG1 hatching over much of southern Pennsylvania, meaning the conditional probability of an EF2 tornado is greater than the climatological average. In other words, if tornadoes do develop in that area on Wed, they could be strong. KEY MESSAGE 3: Settling into a cooler and windy pattern for the end of the week and weekend. As the base of the trough and associated surface cold front cross PA, a sharp temperature drop in the wake of the cold front may result in any lingering postfrontal precip changing over to snow Wed night into Thu. Gusty winds will also accompany the system, with gusts of 30-40 kts behind the front early Thursday. Trending toward the longwave pattern that we saw most of the winter, with cooler conditions on the east coast. Weather systems will be moving fast so a lot of day to day variation likely. Periodic shortwaves in the prevailing upper level pattern will lead to chances for precipitation as well as strong winds every few days from this weekend into early next week. At this point, the storm track favors the primary corridor of precipitation passing north of the area. With overnight lows within a few degrees of the freezing mark forecasted, precipitation type will be largely dependent on what time of day it moves through. But as of this time, no significant systems or appreciable precipitation are expected. &&
  11. A- easy A- snow 78 cold -4 snow cover 41 days over 10 inches snow cover. 2 KUs and 1 -8 inch unexpected. Solid year March fail drops to A-.
  12. New York City reached 80F (26.7C) today. That breaks the daily record of 79F (26.1C) from 2016. It is also New York City's earliest 80F (26.7C) or above temperature on record. The prior record was set on March 13, 1990.
  13. Honestly, snow is way more important to the health of the environment and economy in a lot of the West compared to a lot of the East. I say this as a former New England resident who knows full well how fun a snowy and cold pattern for the East can be. So, this incredibly warm winter for the West really is bad news for reasons well beyond snow and cold being enjoyable.
  14. Can we all just agree this is Top 10 of METEOROLOGICAL Spring? There are no insects, DST has kicked in, and there is a CHANCE of a final breath from Ol’ Man Winter later this March.
  15. 88.5! It’s back down to 85.5 but that is the warmest reading since last summer
  16. Probably rain. I am in the Naperville St. Paddy’s day parade on Saturday so there’s that.
  17. Hot and dry down this way.... Only have measured 0.12 for March here in Waynesboro... Very warm for a week plus.. Numerous fires on both sides of Afton today.. Could see them in a line this morning going to work... Apparently sparks from a west bound train is the culprit in this dry brush around here...
  18. Belleayre Today. Great Snow! 72F on car thermo. 81F at New Paltz on 87
  19. Detroit broke the record already (75 vs 70)
  20. I expected to be fringed by that storm, like I was in 2006 but was pleasantly surpised to cash in on those 18". There was some great drifting both from the storm and the days after.
  21. Tomorrow is going to be a slap in the face. Temps will finally warm up...during the evening and overnight but then drop off Thursday AM with the fropa lol. Maybe we can get an early season Sonoran heat release with EML to end March or begin April
  22. It’s so nice out….but it’s mostly useless this time of year since we still have snow pack or soggy ground where wet it just recently melted. You can’t do shit except walk in the street, lol. Oh well, back to dogshit tomorrow. Too bad next week couldn’t pan out. Cutter, cold, cutter, cold.
  23. 83 and hot here ! But, at least no bugs just yet and a DP of only 38.
