Yeah the weather looks mostly pleasant after today or tomorrow if 50s is too cold for you
However there will be the threat of some easterly flow days so wouldn't be surprised to see cooler days mixed with the 60s.
70F+ readings will also be rare to find.
What makes you think much warmer 2nd half outside of climo. Weeklies looked very blocky all month.
Tellies are condusive to prolonged blocking with -NAO/AO and even a rising PNA.
It looks more east-based so it shouldn't be that bad.
It'll be a few cool days and then it'll get warmer again. We have multiple months of heat coming up and pretty soon everyone (except Forky) will be begging for cooler temps.
Well there's a strong cold shot to start April and we've seen much warmer Marches before so things have been much worse.
Still it's alarming that it doesn't take much to score another record high. Even a benign ridge could get it done nowadays.
The early April cold shot will likely bring below freezing temps so we're not done with the cold just yet.
Afterwards the -NAO block will keep April on the cooler side. No idea how long that'll last.
The strongest winds may actually be more inland tomorrow. WA now up.
It wouldn't surprise me if they upped it to a HWW as we should get very strong mixing with the 80F highs.
The only thing that could ruin a warm, sunny spring day is an easterly fetch off those cold Atlantic waters.
We've seen a lot of that lately and we'll have too see if the -NAO is transient it longer lasting.
It's been in the 20s for several mornings, feels like the desert with these huge temperature swings.
The cold mornings and dry weather are probably why things aren't leafing out much yet despite 60s & sun during the day.
Some early signs of a hot summer with the dry weather and overperforming temperatures.
We also don't have the typical spring -NAO/AO that we've been seeing lately.
Looking really mild rest of March into April especially highs.
Mostly low to mid 60s with probably some near 70F readings on a couple days or 10-15+ AN.
