Late, but finally got around to doing my numbers for March 2024. Averaged high was 61.0 degrees vs a normal of 54.4 degrees, a +6.6 degrees above average. Highest temp recorded was 78.0 degrees on both the 20th and 30th. Averaged low was 32.7 degrees vs a normal of 30.0 degrees, a +2.7 degrees above average. The coldest temp was 17.1 degrees on the 3rd. Overall averaged temp was 46.9 degrees vs a normal of 42.2 degrees, a + 4.7 degrees above average and goes into a tie for 5th warmest March with 2024 and 2007, behind 2012's 52.0, 2016's 48.7, 2020's 48.5 and 1990's 48.0 marks. Total rainfall was 2.08 inches vs a normal of 3.52 inches, a -1.44 below average. The wettest day was the 6th with 0.84 inches falling. There were 11 days with measurable, 3 days with a 'T', and 17 dry days. There was only a trace of snow recorded for the month vs a normal of 4.5 inches, a -4.5 inches below average and ties last year and 1982/83/89/97 and 2000 for 2nd least amount for the month of March. Highest wind recorded was 49 mph on the 7th. There were 18 days with winds exceeding 25 mph with three of those above 40 mph. One new record, a warm minimum on the 31st. Overall the month started cool and wet, quickly turned warm and dry with plenty of wind to make up for the lack of snow.

Set another 'warm minimum' at 54.7 degrees, old mark was 51.1 degrees in 2022. Least it finally did rain a decent amount in last 3 to 4 hours with 0.65 in gauge at 7 am. And another tenth or so since.

Set a new record high and a 'warm minimum' for date. High 84.6 degrees, breaking 2023's 82.2 degrees. Low was 59.0, shattering 1997's 53 degree reading. Least it rained a bit this morning (0.13 in gauge at 7 am). First +80 of the year, first day it felt muggy too, blah.

Set a new record 'warm minimum' with 58.1 degrees, old mark was 54 from 1981.

I can wait for 90's forever lol. There's been a few years when I haven't hit 90, those were good years IMO.

Well, wind is back....

April DCA: -1.3 NYC: -1.8 BOS: -1.6 ORD: -0.7 ATL: +1.6 IAH: +1.1 DEN: +1.7 PHX: +1.9 SEA: +0.4

Shattered the 'warm minimum' for the date with a 54.4 degree reading, old mark was 48.8 back in 2017. Enough rain overnight to make things damp (0.12), hoping for some more later.

Currently 32.6/24.5. Low was 32 on the money. High yesterday was 49.8 late afternoon when sun broke out for a short period, otherwise it was locked in low 40's and breezy during the day and damp.

Massive change from past week or so. Currently 43.3/34.8 at 3 pm with a few sprinkles. Off and on sprinkles since 10 am or so, swear I saw a few wet flakes mix in at one point.

Low was 31.1, warmed up in last couple hours, currently 33.9/20.5 with mostly to partly cloudy skies.

Currently 33.4/22.0, least the winds have backed off in last hour to gusting in upper 20's. Had sprinkles/flurries overnight, just enough blown into corners and around objects to know it happened.

Winds HOWLING here, already a 47 mph gust. Currently 40.8/28.9 with NW wind 28 gusting 38 mph.

Just missed a record for date, high was 78.0, record 79.0 in 2012. Low was 34.3, a 43.7 degree spread for the day. Cloudy and 54.4/31.0 this morning, waiting for some rain later.

Got down to 27.7 around 8 am, currently 30.1/27.0 at 8:50 with clear skies.

The 30 year avg is 27, but last 10 years is running 18.3. This is first year above 'climo' since 18/19.

Amazing just HOW SHARP the cut-off is for precip. Sitting at 12.55" since 1/1 and 30.1" of snow here.

Temp still dropping here at 11 am. Was 42.4 when I did CoCoRaHS at 7 am, currently 39.2/30.6 with a stiff NNW wind at 9 gusting to 17 mph. Had some sprinkles/flurries mix between 8-10 am.

4th thundershower/storm of the day here in last 30 minutes or so with decent lightning with this one, now under a flood advisory until 10 or so. Looks like 3/4" in gauge from the house.

A clear start this am and 38.8/36.7. Yesterday peaked at 73.7, another way above average high.

Were a few clouds here, 100% clear now, awesome is the best word to use!

Pretty awesome view out there now! Looks about 2/3's-3/4's currently.

Just got back from Lewisburg, still some snow in the 'slots' west of Covington to WV line on I-64 facing north. They have decreased a good bit in last week, but still a foot plus in many. There was as much as 3-4 foot in them back in mid Feb after the 12-15 inches that fell here. Funny seeing snow with 60's and 70's (currently 72.4/37.0 at 5 pm) last few days, reminds me of Colorado or Wyoming in June.

Missed a record by 4 degrees (80 in 1990) but the 76.2 high yesterday was 3rd warmest falling behind that and 2006's 79.0. Way too warm for me! Currently cloudy and 40.0/32.2 at 8 am.

Just glanced at Canaan NWR, they have done FOUR 50+ degree swings in last four days! I thought my 40 degree swing was a lot!
