madwx Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 March(and spring!) is around the corner. The month looks to start off with a warming trend and then gets active with a few SW flow systems rolling through the area around the middle and end of next week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 March is gonna come in like a weak/strung-out pos, and go out like a weak/strung-out pos. 3 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I'll also have to stick with my call for the biggest dog of the season, the late March southern IL to southern OH whopper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 For the severe geeks, if the trend of strung out/pos tilted systems continues in spring, it may not be the worst thing in the world. Those types of systems tend to have less forcing, which could mean less squall line messes and better tornado potential. Have to avoid perpetual eastern troughing though. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chambana Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 I’m ready for longer days, more sun, warmer weather, boomers, and grilling. Just 10 more days and the days get longer. Hallelujah! That being said, looks like I’m going to string together some 50’s to open the month. Bring it on! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like we will. +NAO/AO looks to remain through at least the first half of March highly unlike the previous several years where we just couldn't shake -AO/NAO. The lack of an SSW this year also helps. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 This would be nice. Although we'd be better off with these types of anomalies in April when averages are higher. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indystorm Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Just saw on the news that Dan McCarthy of NWS Indianapolis is retiring from his met career after 33 years.

cyclone77 Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Well, we've made it to met spring. So long underwhelming half-assed winter of 19/20! Time for outdoor grilling, and daily checks of the SPC site to see if any interesting convective events are on the way. Cheers! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is about the earliest I can recall that I am ready for spring and could say goodbye to winter/snow today and be fine. Truth is tho, March is still a solid winter month here with an average of 35+ inches of snow. Normal high around 29 now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
