Spring Has Partially Sprung!

This winter has brought some brutally cold temperatures and a lot of snowfall this year, which is why many of us will be excited to know warmer temperatures are coming our way! Finally all the snow that has fallen over this season will have a chance to melt away due to a weather pattern change that is expected to stick around into next week. Woo-Hoo! (...Unless you like snow and cold temperatures.)

StormTrackerWx lead meteorologist, Jason Berry, prepared this temperature map to post on our Facebook page. The map
shows high temperatures for various cities across the United States yesterday. Many of these cities are seeing warm-ups in
temperatures, as many places have been seeing below average temperatures all winter season.

Spring begins on March 20th and it certainly does seem that spring is headed our way as many cities which have seen below average temperatures for most of this winter season are finally warming up to average or above average March temperatures.

This map from Intellicast shows today's temperature departure throughout the United States. Blue is below average, no color
is normal, and orange/yellow is above normal temperatures.

As seen in the map above, most places in the United States are seeing average or above average temperatures, with the exception of parts of the south-central United States. As March progresses temperatures should begin to warm up and stay in the normal range which means we can all embrace the beautiful spring weather that is soon approaching! I don't know about you, but here at StormTrackerWx.com, we are excited to see the flowers bloom and trees bud! Let's keep our fingers crossed as it seems this nice weather will stick around into next week!

Let me close with this picture of the beautiful sun...which we haven't seen much of since winter took over our weather for the season!
