March 2017 Observations & Discussions

March looks to pick up right where February left off...with unseasonably warm weather. A transient cold shot this weekend (the first freezing temperatures in NYC in over two weeks) occurs before it warms right back up.

The last four Marches were all cooler than their preceding Decembers. Will this be where it ends?

Probably will not start a thread for Friday's clipper (maybe an observation thread), but models are trending more robust with this feature. I raised the SCI to 50% this morning (meaning 50% probability of seeing at least 1" of snow in CPK). The short range models, as well as the GFS, show a minimum of 1".

Impressive!

Incoming

Wow 45 and 60 percent. I don't really remember ever seeing 60%. There's a wind advisory for 1am tonight to 6pm tomorrow.

wow wind is insane...picked up son from school and all hell broke loose...winds currently 21 mph and had a gust of 29 mph...

Just rain here no storms everything died out it appears north of way south. Cab anyone explain why northern ct mass and other areas have a hww while the tro state has a advisory? Another mistake like the last one? Or is there a reason these areas winds will b higher than here.

Curious will this b a northwest wind tonight tomorrow? Haven't had chance look into it. Al had said with the big wind event it seems with a nw wind it seems to hsppen.

Up here near Sullivan Co and northern Orange, it spritzed this morning and so far was a cloudy but nice day. 61 degrees at 5:40 pm and no real wind or rain to speak of. Sitting on the back deck watching the sun set, and the only thing cold is my beer.  Trees are still, and yep the peepers are peeping. They started a few nights ago. What are they going to do with the 13 degrees Fri night and 12 degrees Saturday night forecast for around my neck of the woods?

Wind picking up now, and its suddenly 70* compared to low 60s an hr ago.

My temp is staying the same, 60. No winds. No rain. We will see how the rest of the night goes. There is a sense of uneasiness outside...like something should happen but isn't.

Winds not expected to ramp up until after midnight.

Clipper Friday back to looking like a dud.

Lol. Yeah a little late I guess. Temps suddenly took off into the 70s after sunset.
I thought they would bust low here but nope.
Feeling like a june night.  That incoming cold air looks even colder than I thought.  That gonna hit ppl hard.

In Midtown Manhattan last night at 6 p.m. the car thermometer was 75 degrees on March 1st we went from winter to summer as that temperature at that time is normal for the end of June. Right now the car is shaking very windy j-man would approve

Damn high wind!!! unless it is accompanied by driving blinding snow it sucks!!! When it wakes you up at 3:37 time to get live feed of April the giraffe

The wind is really impressive. I got woken up by the wind around 2 am, and it's still going strong 4 hours later. Pretty strong sustained winds and the gusts are easily over 40 mph maybe near 50 mph. Just saw a report of a 64 mph gust at Lancaster PA. Current temp 47*.

12:47 AM wake up call crazy wind gust, wind gusts are pretty still intense around 40mph here as well 47.3° currently

Hww for gusts to 60mpH till 11am. Didn't wake me earlier but a construction barrel is blow around outside and that woke me.
