Narrow swath of snow coming. I think Accu is too far north with it but with the way this season is going I bet you Atlantic City gets in on the snow section.
The pattern this weekend. Interesting. Not amplified. (zonal across southern half) but that Right axis off the East coast could work in a coastal storm favor!
That Southwest wind will be bringing upper 80's temps to Austin. First heatwave, exciting! Dry heat so it won't feel too oppressive, will start to help my body get adjusted to the heat.
Even when that polar jet is down on Seattle, it just ain't anywhere near our level of cold in the same situation.
We are above avg, then below avg, then close to or above avg at end of month. March 1st avg high/low is 48/30F (8.9/-1.1C). March 15th 52/34F (11.1/1.1C)
I can see the light at the end of the winter tunnel.

sounds good. How are the plants looking around there? Green or brown lol?

Damn, 80s already. No thanks to that. I'll accept it in July and August, nothing more. lol. Enjoy the heat wave..
Here is what I'm dealing with today..
Upper Low over Ontario so base of the trough is hitting us. Instability around. NWS Says its Lake enhanced. Lake Erie for here. Snow showering right now with a temp of 38°F

Have updated the forecast to increase PoPs for isolated/sct
rain/snow showers. It appears temperatures of 36-38 is the
dividing line between PCPN types of rain and snow. Partly to
mostly cloudy this afternoon with a weakly cyclonic flow aloft
ahead of an approaching upper trough extending S from a deep
closed low passing to the north.
Other than the possibility of a lake-induced snow shower or two
making it down into areas NW of NYC this evening, expect dry
conditions as high pressure builds to the south. Low temps
tonight should be mainly in the 20s (colder side of GFS/NAM MOS
guidance).
A band of convergence-based snow dropped a few inches here last night. Currently there is about a foot of snow on the ground and temperatures are hovering around freezing.
We had a brief few bursts of snow last night. Dropped maybe an inch. It was hard to tell with the wind gusting around 40mph. Sunshine today has melted almost all of that snow despite temps staying in the 20s.
Notice how there are never any current conditions reported for Edmonton on those maps? It's because Environment Canada for some reason uses the automated downtown weather station for Edmonton. For every other Canadian city they use an airport site where someone can look out the bloody window and see what the weather is actually doing. Other information that gets lost for Edmonton includes snowfall, snow depth, and goodness knows what else. So frustrating.
I'm not sure why the change was made but it happened sometime after December 2009 when the Edmonton airport was the coldest place in the world at -46°C so I suspect there was some pressure from city officials to try and avoid such negative publicity. So much for science.
For the record, the conditions in Edmonton at the airport when that map was made were mainly clear with a temperature of -34°C.
the level of cold that Canada gets is just unimaginable to me. Ugh, I have no idea how anyone lives there except on that tiny sliver around Vancouver. It is a giant ice box in winter.
Well that's why most Canadians live within 100 miles of the US border. They can get quite warm during the summer though. That reminds me back in 2007 I believe when a blast furnace heatwave hit the Northern Plains and Canadian Prairies. I think an automated station at or near Regina hit 115F
