I’ll take nice, boring, low dewpoint weather like we’ve been having. Great for outdoors!

A teeny weeny bit of rain today

Hogtown, the radiation capital of north-central FL, had a 37 low today, which was 14 BN and tied for the lowest for this month! The 2 SAV stations weren’t nearly as cold with their 42s. The walking conditions here the last 3 days have been fabulous!

Lows: KSVN 39, KSAV 41, Hogtown 40

The on and off tree damage along a 50 or so mile stretch of I-16 was like nothing I’ve ever seen over such a large area. It looks like the damage from many dozens of tornadoes!

Very well said! The only thing I’d change is to say 90-100% accuracy is when “wx forecasting” rather than “wx” becomes boring.

Hogtown, FL, had another chilly low (41, which is 9 BN). It rose a whopping 42 to a high of 83, which is 7 AN! The day averaged 1 BN.

Hogtown’s official low was, indeed, 39 (11 BN). But today’s high was way up at 79, 3 AN! It looks less cool tonight, but low 40s are forecasted for Thu and Fri nights there.

“Erin go bragh” from the location of the South’s biggest St. Patrick’s Day celebration. So, everything greened up quickly today. A windy, cool, and sunny St. Patrick’s Day here as it’s only 62.9 here now.

I vote with you to pin this one and absolutely agree with you to unpin 2023-4. But I also vote to leave 2024-5 pinned at least through April to discuss the lingering effects of the now very weak/warm stratosphere and other things regarding the latter part of the current heating season. @ORH_wxman @jburns

Today’s release of the weekly Nino 3.4 SSTa, which is for the last week (centered on March 12th), came in at +0.3C. Over the prior 6 weeks from the week centered on Jan 29th (when it was -0.8C), it has warmed a whopping 1.1C. This is by far the strongest warming for that particular 6 week period on record (records back to 1982). The next fastest warming is only half that (~+0.55C) set in both 2023 and 2011! https://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/data/indices/wksst9120.for

Indeed, I am! I find wx data that approaches or sets new records, like for these zonal winds, extra interesting to say the least. Other examples: record obliterating DJF +PNA for non-Nino ‘24-‘25, -5 AO in Feb ‘25, 1/21-2/2025 heaviest sleetstorm on record in my area, etc. My professional and educational background is statistics related in general, which I’ve enjoyed following since being a kid. Since I’m a big wx enthusiast in addition to being a big statistics enthusiast, wx stats are a natural for me to enjoy following.

It’s unanimous for a 2nd and 3rd strong dip (both would set new daily records on and near those dates):
