I'm thinking I might see some flowering tomorrow at my house. Seems like most of the forsythia's in the CT river valley are in full bloom now. I'm usually 5-7 days later but not in this heat. They should bloom just in time for the cooler weather on the weekend.

This is earliest for me by 2-3 weeks..Must be for you as well.

All the willow trees are fully leafed out all along 84 and 91.

Earliest 80F reading yesterday in almost 130 years in Burlington, VT... beat the old record by over a week, too. Hundred year heat.

THE HIGH TEMPERATURE AT BURLINGTON INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT IN

BURLINGTON REACHED 80 DEGREES. THIS IS A NEW RECORD HIGH

TEMPERATURE FOR MARCH 20TH. THE PREVIOUS RECORD HIGH TEMPERATURE

FOR THE DATE WAS 70 DEGREES WHICH WAS SET IN 1903. IN

ADDITION...THE 80 DEGREE READING RECORDED TODAY AT BURLINGTON WAS

THE EARLIEST OCCURRENCE OF 80 DEGREES IN A GIVEN CALENDAR YEAR IN

THE HISTORICAL RECORD...WHICH DATES BACK TO 1883. THE PREVIOUS

EARLIEST OCCURRENCE OF 80 DEGREES WAS ON 3/29/1945. IT IS ALSO

ONLY THE 6TH OCCURRENCE OF AN 80 DEGREE DAY IN MARCH IN THE

HISTORICAL RECORD.

70's and 80's for days and days

pretty thick moisture plume coming up east of NJ/across LI/NYC into CT this morning. not just low clouds/fog.

Suns out here but with some residual fog still. Vis maybe 3/4 of a mile and rising. Temp shooting up through 54, next hour will be critical...need to burn this off or we risk beign socked in for a good part of the day. Winds seem more WSW which should help.

yeah N of 6 the sun is out. southern side still pretty socked in. this is all low-level garbage. could stay tucked in buzzards bay and over the Sound but should thin out decently away from the water.

the stuff out west toward CT is thicker though. the little residual meso-low that was off the carolinas has kind of broken up but is sending some moisture north.

Man, this wild card strata deck over southern zones is killing the early run up; that will parlay into lower maxes if it doesn't get out of there within the next hour.

Kevin will wind up 70 tops - richly deserved, too hahaha

Breaks of blue already appearing in Windsor..not an issue at all..and we all forecast the fog bank to come north ..Same thing happens tomorrow morning

You can see it eroding from the north now..Give it an hour

There are some low-mid level clouds from that low to the south. That was the one possibility of having the warmth muted a bit on guidance last week. So it's there in some form, but probably will get pushed more to the south I think after 12 or so.

Nope, Kevin gets screwed for big warmth for having such a loud mouth in the matter ...insufferably all week long, and that's final. Strata ftw!

lol

Another benchmark to consider is the annual maximum normal temperature...

BDL ... 85.4

BOS ... 82.8

CON ... 83.1

ORH ... 79.8

PVD ... 83.3

These could easily be exceeded tomorrow, which is extraordinary ... that these highs would register above normal any day of the year

Hope you're getting used to heat. ;)

My street this morning was damp from temps in the upper 50s..lol. Muggy.

i went outside yesterday evening near dusk...outside of the lawn not being fully green and the trees still being basically bare...in every other way it seemed like a summer night. it was eerie.

swarms of bugs, people grilling, birds chirping late into the evening. it just smelled warm outside. so strange.

should make sunday feel pretty sweet.
