My station showing I got to 20C/70F for the first time this year, WUN has 19C. UW got to their first 20C - I was a few weeks off from predicting it! Sun is out, summer feel after a nightmare 2nd half of March.
-
April can be unpredictable, but with the persistent +NAO / +AO / -PNA, increasing sun angle and the SW getting such an early start to summer due to abnormally dry conditions (positive feedback loop), I wouldn't hold my breath for any wintry surprises this year...
-
Good luck brother. Fire is no joke, I hope you and your family avoid any fire issues and remain safe & sound.

I wouldnt consider that the impressive feature of this season, Id call it the annoying one lol. It certainly did cut off. After 4 consecutive colder than avg months, March will finish (I estimate) 13th warmest on record as well as 12th least snowy. This winter didnt follow a typical Nina in most aspects, but one thing that did hold true is the fact it was front-mid loaded. February was mostly snow-covered so i dont look at it as harshly as some do wrt below avg snowfall. But Nov-Jan was definitely where the fun was this winter. From salt supplies running short before mid-winter and salt/plow contractors begging for a break, to those same contractors wishing we had a few more runs by mid-March. Above avg snowfall seemed like a lock in January but then Feb-Mar was zzz. I am at 40.1" with DTW 39.4". Longterm avg is around 41" but the current 30-yr avg, high as its ever been due to the snowy 2000s/10s, is 45". While its certainly in the vicinity of an "average" snowfall season, theres no question that cold/snowcover exceeded expectations and snowfall fell short. Knowing how I love snowcover, it should come as no surprise the winter was an easy A but have to knock it to B for the zzzzz mid Feb thru Mar. April is very unpredictable so you never know.

2026-2027 El Nino
Stormchaserchuck1 replied to Stormchaserchuck1's topic in Weather Forecasting and Discussion
91-92 was the strongest west-based Nino on record. It was also very +NAO/+AO in the cold season ^A lot of cold anomalies there around the volcano. Sometimes you have to zoom out and see what the bigger picture was like. 3 out of 5 times that cold of a H5 N. Hemisphere will produce cooler weather in the US -
Cirrus ftl today, but still decent.
-
Better chance there vs Tolland. Both may be ok, but I would never invoke high confidence this time of year.
-
the temps overperformed today then what was expected expected high was suppose to be 65 in the city..
-
day done rite.

I mean, I called this back in early February. I just knew the cold pattern wasn't going to last forever. 3 solid BN temperature months is the most we can get at a time. The last time it happened was in January-March 2015. April 2015 is when things turned warmer, and May 2015 was a near record warm month. It looks like the same thing is happening.
-
91-92 was 15" here, but a 10" March saved it being a total dud.

1991-92 wasnt bad here for a strong Nino. Average snowfall, a couple good storms. Mild overall, but multiple cold shots. -
E PA/NJ/DE Spring 2026 Obs/Discussion
FPizz replied to PhiEaglesfan712's topic in Philadelphia Region
Radar out again? -
71 and partly sunny. Wind is gusty. I see kdix is out once again. I guess they need to replace the tape holding it together.
-
Still only 50 on the barrier islands or upper 40s. Awful.
-
It was always obvious this was going to be a very warm spring tbh, but some people kept trying to hang on to winter for as long as possible.
-
Finally made it above 60! 61 and climbing. Much cooler on the south shore
-
74 in hackensack, nj and winds howling. Like reallyyyyyyyy sick of these winds. A few windy days in winter but it's right back to last year with wind daily.
-
-
and the torch did indeed verify with back to back 80s possible today and tomorrow. Chicago should finish the month with a monthly mean max around 55.3, which would be a tie for 5th warmest on record. A few cool days does not negate the fact that it's been objectively very warm overall.
-
70 here too. Gorgeous. No sign of the Ambrose Jet yet, JFK only 10mph.
-
South bend is on track to having a top 10 warmest March this year (7th warmest overall), half the days this month have been 60+ there, wow. It's been an impressively warm March for most, especially with respect to daily maximums. Third very warm March in a row now.
