Once I get a taste of near 80 next week, it’s over.

Once you see the models with a 979 bomb off of Hatteras with a well below normal airmass mid March, you'll be right back.

Then coastal NC gets a foot with no mixing while we get pity flakes at best or cirrus at worst.

It's March. Everyone gets cold rain and wind except maybe the top of the Catoctins.

Mid Morch snow is fun. 2014 was incredible. I got 8 inches of snow in mid Morch that year, in Dale City.

But this mid Morch Cleveland Park will get 20 inches from a rare mid-Morch blizzard that somehow manages to stall off the equivalent of the DC Benchmark and the TROWAL will pour torrential snow for 30 hours straight.

It won’t get to 80.  Feel like it will be muted

WB latest EURO weeklies.  Looks like the 7 day period ending March 22nd will be our window of opportunity during March.

March 12 is calling.  They want 1993 back.

Potential around St Patty's day. Pretty good h5 look esp for mid March. A lot would have to break in our favor, but probably the next(last?) chance.

As advertised, the Pacific is quite favorable. WPO ridge, lower heights around the Aleutians, and a +PNA. That in combination with a Southward displaced TPV can bring enough cold southward. Just need a wave to ride along the boundary.

The latest GEFS and Euro says generally warmer than normal the next 30 days with a brief cold snap mid- month.

Snow chances are very limited other than western areas above 1000 ft.

Has there ever been a snowstorm in mid-March with a +2std NAO? 

I know 1993 had +nao, but don't think it was a strong as +2

With a favorable  Pacific and the TPV in that position, I think a moderate storm is possible. +NAO or not this isnt likely a 1993 type deal- which I wouldn't want anyway as it sucked here.

80 in March is stink, mud and bugs. Hard pass with months of spring to go.

Only really shows up like that on the GFS op. All the ensembles, Euro, GEM, show a toasty Saturday.   
 

This post aged poorly from the other long range thread. All hail the GFS.

I am not going after you. I was stating for northern MD. It is a tight gradient. My son has a baseball scrimmage at Ripken Stadium. It would suck being 47 when 40 miles down the street it’s 77.  This is just a perfect example of CAD.
