They might as well issue a winter storm warning from DC to the tropics of North Carolina for day 4 (Dgex storm) and then again for days 6 and 8.

 

DCA averages about 62 degrees during the last week of March. That would be like NYC from April 30th to May 4th, where we average 62-64 degrees.


That just shows you how insane this is; Especially if next week produces snow in the tropics again.

A lot of talk about the south trend but if the models are correct with the ULL in the NE Pac and the ridge spike out west, this potential Day 5-7 storm could be an entirely different amplifying system. 

 

 

At this pace, it will turn into a snowstorm for Georgia and Florida.

Your trip to Guatemala completely jinxed the last 45 days of "winter".

Just judging from the PNA an NAO, seems like the risk is definitely on the side of too much suppression. Southern and eastern sections of the forum, once again, are in the best positions, but as we have seen this month, that doesn't necessarily mean any of us will get into appreciable action.

We could start to build up into a drought again if we don't see some storminess by the end of the month into April, and then go into an eastern ridge pattern. The Palmer index still has most of us as dry.

How rare would it be to have 3 significant snow events in March  miss us to the south ? Can anybody find a year where this happened ?

no storm threads till 5 days away from any potential according to moderator Sickman still a few days away from any 5 day potential - lets try and play by the rules this time around including if a thread is opened in the future

Open a thread that reads..... snow threat!!!

I'll have to call him into PHL to enforce that rule there too.

One thing for sure the highs fail to hit freezing from 3/24-3/28.  This is definite on all models right now.  Two days are 22-24 F at best and the last week of March will have -25 to -30 F departures.  I think we go to 5-7 F in the city three days that week for lows.  -19 C at 850 and -16 C at 925 for a few days will be locks on not making freezing for 4-5 days.  I do not think I am wrong with this.  If that storm could trend north, a real HECS threat given pattern. I see 3/31-4/6 being seasonal and rainy with the persistent cold pattern looking to lock above 45 North for the first time in many months.  Looks to get real warm south of 37 North.  50's may become more regular a few days after 3/28.  Any thoughts ??

 

NYC has only recorded 7 sub-freezing high temperatures later than 3/24 since 1869.  Most of those were before 1925.  The one anomaly was the April 1982 bomb.

He forgot to mention the 40" of snow we're going to get that week. One HECS to establish the cold, and another one as it departs.
