Yeah, I'm far from an expert, but the idea that this pattern would produce 90 degree temperatures in March in the Mid Atlantic really seems abnormal. 70s, sure. But this doesn't look record breaking. I would think you'd need a big Bermuda High and a ridge centered over the East Coast itself.

84.6° feels legitimately summerlike in the sun

Can confirm. My snow climo is 2 inches less than DCA, but there are plenty of days especially in the spring with CAD/NE winds where it's sunny here and 20-30 degrees cooler with mist in DC. A bit of elevation keeps the summer nights less hot as well, at least in the western half of what would be called Central VA. Lynchburg's average July low is 5 degrees cooler than DC's despite an overall warmer climate. It's still hot and humid, but I think it's preferable to NoVA/DC.

Yep, pretty much same experience here with this initial line.

About to get hit by this. Will report back. Some peeks of sun this morning. There is also clearly a good deal of wind shear. The breaks in the clouds reveal different layers moving in different directions.

Yesterday was very close to a US all time record. Off by a few degrees on both the day of high temperature and the prior day temperature.

Farmville, VA (in between Richmond and Lynchburg) reported a high of 90 degrees less than 24 hours ago: Right now, snow is falling and accumulating on grassy surfaces.

03.12.2026 - 0.3" Total 13.0"

Pretty much done but I'm honestly shocked to have gotten measurable snow out of this. Got about an hour and a half of moderate/heavy snow.

Lynchburg VA

All snow for the past 30 minutes or so and incredibly it has actually begun to stick a little bit on mulch and parts of the grass.

Incredibly wet, partially melted snowflakes, but still clearly snowflakes now. Less than 24 hours after 88° temperatures.

It was 87 at 12 AM?

KLYH hit 88 degrees at 3:30 Wild.

High of 83 today. TORCH.
