Historical:

 

1884: John Park Finley issued the first experimental tornado prediction. Finley studied the atmospheric parameters that were present during previous tornadoes. Many of these same criteria are still used by operational forecasters today. But the use of tornado forecasts would be banned just a few years later and remain forbidden until 1952. 

1912 - The barometric pressure reached 29.26 inches at Los Angeles, CA, and 29.46 inches at San Diego CA, setting all-time records for those two locations. (David Ludlum)

1922 - Dodge City, KS, reported a record 24 hour total of 17.5 inches of snow. (The Weather Channel)

 

1986: Severe thunderstorms and tornadoes hit Indiana, Kentucky, and Ohio. A total of 19 tornadoes occurred. Three of the tornadoes in Indiana reached F3 intensity. A densely populated subdivision of Southeast Lexington, Kentucky, was heavily damaged by a tornado. Twenty people were injured, and 900 homes were destroyed or demolished. A very strong thunderstorm downburst hit the Cincinnati area. At the Greater Cincinnati Airport, windows were blown out of the control tower, injuring the six controllers on duty. At Newport, Kentucky, 120 houses were destroyed by winds estimated from 100 to 140 mph.

1987 - Strong northwesterly winds ushered arctic air into the eastern U.S. Gales lashed the middle and northern Atlantic coast. Winds gusted to 50 mph at Manteo NC and Cape Hatteras NC. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data)

1988 - A winter storm produced snow and high winds in the Central Rocky Mountain Region. Snowfall totals in Utah ranged up to 42 inches at Alta, with 36 inches reported at the Brian Head Ski Resort in 24 hours. Winds gusted to 72 mph at La Junta CO and Artesia NM. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data)

1989 - Thirty-four cities in the central and southwestern U.S. reported new record high temperatures for the date. The high of 85 degrees at Hanksville UT was a record for March, and Pueblo CO equalled their March record of 86 degrees. Hill City KS warmed from a morning low of 30 degrees to an afternoon high of 89 degrees. (The National Weather Summary)

1990 - Thunderstorms developing along a warm front produced severe weather from southeast Iowa to central Indiana and north central Kentucky. Thunderstorms produced wind gusts to 65 mph at Fort Knox KY, and hail two inches in diameter west of Lebanon IN. Evening thunderstorms over central Oklahoma deluged Guthrie with 4.5 inches of rain. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data)

2010 - As many as four people are injured, one is killed and homes were damaged in Center Hill and Pearson, AR, by an EF2 tornado.

Warm minimums continue to dominate. The region is currently running +10 to +15 for the beginning of March. This has been the warmest on record for many locations like NYC.

Maybe graupel or small hail later today as we get some surface based CAPE. So gusty squall-like convection possible later today with gusts over 40 mph. Then we have a shot at 50-60 mph gusts tomorrow with the very steep lapse rates and increasing LLJ allowing deep mixing.

Remember how March was going to be cold and snowy?  Instead 0 snow and a +10 temp departure.    


And look how warm it got now for Tuesday through Saturday.

It’s extremely unstable already stratocumulus and cumulus clouds galore right now

Who predicted March to be cold and snowy last month? I thought guidance did a great job predicting the warmth at the end of February

Some said the pattern change would take hold mid February and last a month

LR guidance also suggested a good pattern starting mid Feb into Mid March-but trended shorter and warmer as we got closer.

This summer will be one for the record books I think. Already a hot start all over the globe and the transition to a Nina means very hot summer likely. 

Probably extremely active too

probably true-the lack of snowcover as well may make the spring warmer as well-hopefully less back door action.

Hi ag3. It's Snow Wolf.

 

You'll be happy to know that the other board still allows no dissenting opinions. I got chewed out by the crazies for not liking the fantasy day 10 plus crap popping up periodically.

I'll post here some more.

There is rain with a little wet snow mixing in at Larchmont.

Don, I respect your integrity but the first pic is suspect. Are you sure that was taken today? You know I’m a horticulturalist at Columbia and a huge climate change backer but that pic seems off. We are barely cracking buds on the earliest flowering trees here. And maybe a few daffodils…
