Lots of clearing operations on the parkways here today-branches and trees down. Thankfully I kept power but not far from me lost it.

been a while since we had widespread 65-70 mph gusts. Isaias?

Probably. Seemed like there was a lot of tree damage from the blizzard too.

Where is this?

Colder air has returned to the region. After a low in the upper 20s tomorrow morning, New York City will see a high near or just below 40°. Thursday will see the temperature return to the middle 40s. Readings will then return to the 50s for Friday through the weekend.

The major weather story this week will be the super March heatwave that is now developing in much of the western U.S. March monthly records are likely to be smashed in numerous cities, including Albuquerque, Flagstaff, Fresno, Las Vegas, Palm Springs, Phoenix, Reno, Salt Lake City, and Yuma. Already, Camarillo, CA reached a March record 96° today.

The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was +1.5°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was 0.0°C for the week centered around March 11. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged +0.98°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged -0.15°C. Neutral ENSO conditions will continue through at least mid-spring.

The SOI was +1.87 today. 

The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) was +0.492 today. 

Based on sensitivity analysis applied to the latest guidance, there is an implied 84% probability that New York City will have a warmer than normal March (1991-2020 normal). March will likely finish with a mean temperature near 45.1° (2.3° above normal). 

Supplemental Information: The projected mean would be 2.6° above the 1981-2010 normal monthly value.
