Tom Posted March 18, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2023 1 hour ago, Clinton said: No sustained warmth showing up when looking at the MJO. Cold rain and sloppy snow could last into mid April. Should the MJO go into phase 7 as we enter April that would be a below average temp signal as well. I just read that Chicago will have the 2nd coldest weekend of 2023...let alone in Mid-March! Just so sad to have all the wasted BN temps so late in the season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember a few years back that parts of W ND didn't have any snow at all for a few months one winter.

Yesterday was a sunny but cool day here in Grand Rapids with the official H/L of 34/17 there was no rain or snow fall and 100% of possible sunshine. The day started with officially 2” of snow on the ground. The overnight low here in MBY this morning so far is 28 with clear skies. There is just a trace of snow on the ground now and of course the snow piles. For today the average H/L is 46/28 the record high of 83 was set in 2012 and the record low of +3 was set in 1965 the most snow fall of 8.4” fell in 1940. Last year the H/L was 56/30. The next several days look to be seasonally mild with highs in the 40’s and low 50’s with a chance of snow or rain at times. There is a system that may affect the area on the weekend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Posted March 20, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2023 Spring will be officially arriving at 2:24pm local time! Will it feel like Spring? Well, for some yes...but for others up north and west most likely Not. An active SW Flow pattern this week is going to keep my area out here in the SW largely BN and wet through mid week. Gosh, this has been a very very big change in the overall pattern out here in Arizona since last year's Monsoon season. Something really switched and even the locals are talking about it. I ran into an old family friend at the grocery store yesterday morning and he even brought it up how much colder/wetter the pattern has been since last Fall. He's been living here for about 20 years or so and this is the worst weather he's experienced out here. When I drive around town and look up at all the hills and mountains they are filled with blooming vegetation. It is so green out here, its phenomenal. I remember flipping through the models back in Sept and my intuition led me to believe that something special was going to transpire out in this region. Remember this map? The sign of the Cross down in AZ...#ChristConsciousness Just like it was written in scripture from the Bible... Isaiah 35:1-6 In-Context The deserts will become as green as the mountains of Lebanon, as lovely as Mount Carmel or the plain of Sharon. There the LORD will display his glory, the splendor of our God. Anyway, not to get to Biblical on here but that memory stands out to me as we open up to a new season later today. In regards to Spring wx, our forecast isn't necessarily Spring Break worthy. Although, later in the week it does get nicer but temps remain BN for the time of year. PHX's normal highs are in the upper 70's (79F). 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westMJim Posted March 21, 2023 Report Share Posted March 21, 2023 Good morning! Calendar spring started we as a nice early spring day with the official H/L at Grand Rapid of 49/27 There was no rain or snow fall and the sun was out 80% of the possible time. The day started with a trace of snow on the ground. The overnight low so far was somewhat mild 35 and that is the current temperature. Only old snow piles and snow in the shade is on the ground at this time. For today the average H/L is 47/28 the record high of 87 was set in 2012 that 87 is also the record high for the month of March. The record low for today is 9 set in 1965. Last year on this date was a very nice spring day with a H/L of 62/30. The rest of the week looks to be near to just above average temperature wise with several chances of rain and or wet snow. Very typical for this time of the year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
