The unofficial official absurdly warm for March thread


Typhoon Tip

Recommended Posts

THE PATTERN OVER THE WEST WILL FOCUS SIGNIFICANT PCPN ALONG THE

WEST COAST INTO THE INTERMOUNTAIN WEST/ROCKIES. HIGHEST TOTALS

ARE FCST OVER NRN CA/SIERRA NEVADA RANGE WHERE AT LEAST SEVERAL

INCHES OF QPF ARE ANTICIPATED OVER THE FIVE DAY PERIOD AND THESE

NUMBERS COULD BE MODEST WHERE GREATEST TERRAIN ENHANCEMENT OCCURS.

WRN AREAS SHOULD ALSO SEE A SIGNIFICANT COOLING TREND BY SAT-MON.

MEANWHILE EXPECT PERIODS OF RNFL OVER THE PLAINS/MS VLY IN ASSOC

WITH ENERGY/MSTR AT THE LEADING EDGE OF THE AMPLIFYING WRN TROF...

WITH SOME LOCALLY MDT-HVY ACTIVITY POSSIBLE. MANY AREAS ACROSS

THE CNTRL-ERN CONUS SHOULD SEE WELL ABOVE NORMAL TEMPS THOUGH A

BACKDOOR COLD FRONT ASSOC WITH WEAK ERN CONUS ENERGY ALOFT MAY

TEMPER READINGS SOMEWHAT OVER THE NORTHEAST/EAST COAST BY THE

WEEKEND. AS SUPPORTED BY TELECONNECTIONS RELATIVE TO ERN NOAM

POSITIVE HGT ANOMALIES... DAYTIME TEMPS SHOULD BE FARTHEST ABOVE

NORMAL FROM THE NRN PLAINS THRU THE GRTLKS WITH SOME HIGHS 20-35 F

ABOVE NORMAL AND APPROACHING/EXCEEDING CALENDAR DAY RECORDS AT

SOME LOCATIONS. SOME AREAS OF RNFL ARE PSBL ON THE WARM SIDE OF

THIS FRONT.

MUSHER/RAUSCH

Eh, I'd replace "tempered some" with radically colder if the wind turns onshore AT ALL at this time of year.

Coming into a foreign regional forum to try to get some weenie somewhere mad that he won't get snow til next November or December :lol:

Get a freakin' life.

You mistake poor little Forky. He probably still has a snowball in the freezer from when he was 5 and his area got a freak snow storm. He lusts for snow yet is frustrated by constant denial. Unfortunately it manifests itself in this ugly way. Pity.

Probably being too nitpicky, but 50F departure would be beyond the pale, even for just the daily max, but certainly for the mean. In my adventures with data from 100-yr plus stations, it's generally the case that the greatest departures are 35-40F, and that neg departures tend to be about 5F greater than positive. Yesterday's normal high for CON is 42; if everything breaks just right, they might approach +40 for a high temp next week (and +30 seems very possible, and perhaps a mean of +25), which is still extraordinary/absurd.

Examples form the station I know best, Farmington:

Greatest departure: -40.5F, 12/30/1917 (-11/-36)

Greatest positive: +38.4, 1/14/1932 (62/48)

Greatest March departures: +29.7, 3/20/1903 (79/40) and -28.9, 3/8/2007 (7/-17)

Agree. I know you're speaking of the lower 48 in general...but I've seen some larger daily departures in Alaska.

Examples:

1/3/2009 in McGrath (-43 departure, actual -45/-54, normal 4/-18)

1/16/2009 in Fairbanks (+50 departure, actual 52/27, normal -1/-20).

Late March 1998 had close to +40F departures.

Well still, we could make a run for the highest departures ever. I guess March would probably be the most likely month to do that.

Yeah...right around my Birthday (3/31) is always the most varied period for the year I think. Of course there was 90F in '98, the April Fools day Blizzard, 01 or 02 it was in the 70s to near 80, last year it snowed 3-5". 2003 it was cloudy with flurries. A few have been very nice with 60F and sun. It's kind of cool for the wx for that day to vary so much.

This is almost comical at this point, another incredible day.

Soon as that sun broke out around noon it was off to the races, the plant kingdom at least what I deal with is turned upside down.

64

sunny

I'm a little concerned about that. All these buds will come out, and then maybe get damaged when we have a freeze.

87 would be almost +40 on highs in some areas for next week...has that ever even happened? It would be awesome if it snowed after that. Most would not expect it at all.

Scott, Will, and I would though.

There are products, and reasons alone out there to suggest that it turns colder before truly hitting the warm season. We've been discussing...

Then he's probably got more snow than you do. I just checked out the Merge cam. -lol-

Maybe by next winter they'll let you back in OT, if God dies.
