donsutherland1 Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 It will begin to turn milder tomorrow. The temperature will return to the middle 40s tomorrow afternoon. Readings will then return mainly to the 50s for Friday through the weekend. The mercury could reach 60° on Saturday. The major weather story this week is the super March heatwave that is under way in much of the western U.S. March monthly records are being set in numerous cities. Today, Flagstaff, Palm Springs, and Phoenix are among the cities setting March monthly records. Additional records are likely in coming days. 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 +3.73 today. The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) was +0.539 today. Based on sensitivity analysis applied to the latest guidance, there is an implied 74% probability that New York City will have a warmer than normal March (1991-2020 normal). March will likely finish with a mean temperature near 44.7° (1.9° above normal). Supplemental Information: The projected mean would be 2.2° above the 1981-2010 normal monthly value. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's already been solidly above average over halfway through the month. Quite a different pattern from what we saw this winter with parts of the Northeast actually experiencing the greatest temp departures from normal in the lower 48.

Exactly yeah, next week is the last full week of March, and I'm not seeing anything crazy warm. Monday through Friday most highs are 40's to low 50's with 20's and 30's at night. I'm not saying we don't end up AN this month but it's not like we wall to wall torched. The crazy departures last week will make the month look worse on paper of course. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’d at least expect the NW and N Rockies to do very well and better in the upper Midwest. NNE still has a ways to go but they usually do very well also in a Nina. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the record ridge covering the West into Central states completely overpowered the pattern with warm and dry for much of the country. So we have moved past the usual old school La Niña correlations. This is now the age of the super 500 mb ridge that is going to cancel your winter in the locations where it gets stuck stuck in place.

EastonSN+ Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 21 hours ago, MJO812 said: Not even an inch of snow for March. Terrible ending to a great winter. Cant complain since we had winter from December right through end of February. I found it interesting that only 4 winters since 1970 had 5 or more inches of snow for both December and March. Its usually one or the other except for extreme winters like 93/94, 95/96, 02/03 and 17/18. Even the great winter of 13/14 was a shutout in March. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SACRUS Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 34 / 21 clouds with some breaks of sun. About 5-10 degrees warmer than what should wind up as the coldest day - yesterday of the next week or much longer. 50s and low 60s Fri - Sat and pending on sun breaking out, Sunday could push mid - upper 60s or more in the warmest spots. back and forth the next 7 - 10 days hovering near to slightly above normal for the period through 3/26. Beyond there looks to nudge warmer as we close the month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
