SACRUS Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 35 / 13 (0.5 in the bucket yesterday and peak gusts to 41 here overnight. Colder next two days and then we'll see how much we can clear out this weekend otherwise it looks cloudy Fri - Sun with Sunday being the warmest day around 60. Beyond there overall near normal through the 25 and drier then perhaps moderation above/warmer to close the month but not indication of strong warmth or cold. https://cdn.star.nesdis.noaa.gov/GOES19/ABI/SECTOR/eus/02/GOES19-EUS-02-1000x1000.gif 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SACRUS Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Records: Highs: EWR: 78 (1990) NYC: 75 (1945) LGA: 74 (1945) JFK: 69 (2003) Lows: EWR: 16 (1981) NYC: 9 (1916) LGA: 15 (1967) JFK: 13 (1967) Historical: 1841: March 16-18, A heavy snowstorm dropped up to 30 inches of snow in the Tidewater area, measured in areas unaffected by wind. (Ref. Virginia Weather History) 1892 - A winter storm in southwestern and central Tennessee produced 26 inches of snow at Riddleton, and 18.5 inches at Memphis. It was the deepest snow of record for those areas. (David Ludlum) 1906 - The temperature at Snake River, WY, dipped to 50 degrees below zero, a record for the U.S. for the month of March. (Sandra and TI Richard Sanders - 1987) 1952: The ban on using the word "tornado" issued in 1886 ended on this date. In the 1880s, John P. Finley of the U.S. Army Signal Corps, then handling weather forecasting for the U.S., developed generalized forecasts on days tornadoes were most likely. But in 1886, the Army ended Finley's program and banned the word "tornado" from forecasts because the harm done by a tornado prediction would eventually be greater than that which results from the tornado itself. The thinking was that people would be trampled in the panic if they heard a tornado was possible. The ban stayed in place after the Weather Bureau; now, the National Weather Service took over forecasting from the Army. A tornado that wrecked 52 large aircraft at Tinker Air Force Base, OK, on 3/20/1948, spurred Air Force meteorologists to begin working on ways to forecast tornadoes. The Weather Bureau also began looking for ways to improve tornado forecasting and established the Severe Local Storm Warning Center, which is now the Storm Prediction Center in Norman, OK. The ban on the word "tornado" fell on this date when the new center issued its first Tornado Watch. 1970: Chicago, IL had their greatest snowstorm for so late in season as 14 inches fell. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History) 1985: A strong F3 tornado tore through Venice, FL during the early morning hours. 55 homes were destroyed and 220 were damaged. Two people were killed and 45 were injured. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History) 1987 - A powerful spring storm produced severe thunderstorms over the Central Gulf Coast States, and heavy snow in the High Plains Region. A tornado caused three million dollars damage at Natchez MS, and six inches of rain in five hours caused five million dollars damage at Vicksburg MS. Cactus TX received 10 inches of snow. Western Kansas reported blizzard conditions. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data) 1988 - A winter storm produced heavy snow from the northeast Texas panhandle to the Ozark area of Missouri and Arkansas. Up to fifteen inches of snow was reported in Oklahoma and Texas. Snowfall totals in the Ozark area ranged up to 14 inches, with unofficial reports as high as 22 inches around Harrison AR. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data) 1989 - Strong northerly winds ushered snow and arctic cold into the north central U.S. Winds gusted to 58 mph at Sydney NE and Scottsbluff NE, Cadillac MI received 12 inches of snow, and International Falls MN reported a record low of 22 degrees below zero. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data) 1990 - Showers and thunderstorms associated with a slow moving cold front produced torrential rains across parts of the southeastern U.S. over a two day period. Flooding claimed the lives of at least 22 persons, including thirteen in Alabama. Up to 16 inches of rain deluged southern Alabama, with 10.63 inches reported at Mobile AL in 24 hours. The town of Elba AL was flooded with 6 to 12 feet of water causing more than 25 million dollars damage, and total flood damage across Alabama exceeded 100 million dollars. Twenty-six counties in the state were declared disaster areas. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data) 2002: A Pacific storm system with lots of moisture caught forecasters by surprise, dumping 25.7 inches of snow at Anchorage, AK in 24 hours, easily surpassing the old record of 15.6 inches. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History) The record was not merely broken, it was smashed. Anchorage AK Int’l Airport received 28.7 inches. Snow in a 24-hour period almost doubling its old record of 15.6 inches. The SE side of Anchorage was “downsloped” so much less snow fell; Rabbit Creek had 6 inches. (Ref.

vegan_edible Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 6 minutes ago, Brian5671 said: hoping some of the east breaks off and heads east. i hope so too, we deserve some of the action over here. i've lived out there/spend a lot of time there/relocating there again and the weird part is heat events like this usually aren't that common, you'll typically see this with santa ana winds, but this event seems to lack the classic desert wind induced madness so im excited to see what its like out there with the heat and little to no wind. for those that don't know, the santa ana winds in southern california can actually mess with your head pretty bad. restlessness, insomnia, increased anxiety. im still not sure if its placebo or if the rumor that the desert spores make you go nuts is true but i can attest that every santa ana wind/heat event i've experienced out there makes it so hard to fall asleep, even if the room your sleeping in is a cold temperature Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_other_guy Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 The crisis out west continues. As I sit in SLC, which received 3 inches of snow this year and is expecting more AN temps this week, a realization that a crisis is coming to the Colorado River this summer that we havent seen before. It looks like winter at Brighton, but you have to get above 7000 feet to get snow cover…and even then it is a fraction of normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wildfire season is going to be out of control especially if above average heat/wind are present all summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
