Maxes and mins are about even up here anomaly wise…maybe more biased toward mins down there and especially toward the coast after some of those onshore flow airmasses. But 2012 was a unicorn and the first dozen days of March are a little early for consistent records in the 70s. But I agree…we’re losing perspective of what should be a “torch” this time of year and it’s further clouded by DIT’s days and days 70s and 80s which was never really a possibility. Everything has to go right for 70+ this time of year.
I mean it’s not like it’s a major warm signal or anything. There’s still some neg anomalies to our north as well and we know how that can trend at the surface toward T-0.
Ensembles look a little warmer overnight in the extended after a brief cool down with most of the cold staying to our west. Nothing too torchy…probably more of the same.
