Yeah this region despite being very warm in March was still shielded from the crazy +10 to +20 departures over 70 percent of the country. It's going to take a Pac NW style summer ridge to wake people up. Unfortunately we need to see 110-120F temperatures over multiple days that will shut the grid down for people to get a clue.

The craziest thing is we were the cooler region compared to most of the country. The amount of +10-15 readings is insane. If that happens during June or July then it's gonna get ugly.

It's one day of cool weather. Back to the 70s or better right after.

We're definitely seeing 90s in April, maybe multiple

March has been very warm. A couple of cooler days doesn't negate that fact.

Been a very warm March

That's nuts

AIFS showing mid 80s to start April. Anytime there's some ridging we hit record highs, doesn't take much at all.

Even if there was a huge heat spike in 1879 it's always about longevity. How long did that type of heat last in 1879. Today's heat is a combo of extreme highs + longevity. Nothing in recorded history comes close

Plenty of warm air coming. Ensembles show strong ridging in East.

Yeah but since Alaska is cold it's okay if the west is shattering all time highs by 8-10 degrees for multiple days. Also UHI or something is the cause because that definitely affects daytime highs

That's wild, it'd be like seeing 90s here right now.

Records are going to be smashed so fast everywhere when the Super Nino comes. Summer looks brutal with deadly fire season

Lots of delusional people out there.

Only a matter of time before we get some of those prolonged ridges here. Doesn't take much. Our first warm-up last week set record highs here and the earliest 80F at NYC.
