I would love to see spring in the southern United States. Very few signs of spring so far here in the Indianapolis area, a few daffodils are starting to bloom and a few of the understory shrubs in the areas with woods are budding a little bit but other than that it still looks very much like winter here, most vegetation is still dormant
Oh it's been great. I've been looking at pictures on this date over the last 10 years and we're definitely ahead of schedule. I can tell just a difference just from Thursday when we started this warm up.
Last night was perfect. Dropped to about 60 and rained only overnight. Finished right as I woke up around 8. By 845 the clear skies were already moving in. Skies cleared out the pollennand I could see the mountains in some spots.
Another upper 70 day. Tomorrow and Monday will be right around 60 but will warm up Tuesday and by Wednesday should flirt with 80 again. I love it.
It seems to me that this year is analagous to 2006, that year had a seasonal Jan&Feb followed by a cold Mar&Apr, then turned blowtorch May thru July
Not so sure. Maybe regionally for you. But the ENSO patterns in spring of 2006 was neutralish moving towards a weak El Nino during the summer. While we are now in a weakish Modoki El Nino moving fast to neutral territory and some of the models suggest La Nina by the second half of summer.
Just compared the new 30 year averages at ORD for the months of January and February
ORD 1981-2010 avg max/mean/low temps compared with the 1991-2010 values for January and February

Indianapolis’ average mean January and February temperatures for the 1991-2020 new normals are 28.5 F and 32.6 F respectively versus the 1981-2010 averages of 28.1 F and 32.1 F.
Well it's cold and rainy in Austin. Was in the 40's last night, had to crank the heat on. The heat up is supposed to begin in earnest tomorrow, we will see if it happens as they predict, I highly doubt it will be as fast as they say (40's to 90's in a week).
Nice sunny day today in Surprise AZ High was about 74F. About the same tomorrow and for the next several days

So far this March is +6.9F above average. Outlook for April is now looking warm and drier than average
Big warm up for the Great Plains and Midwest in the 8-15 day in the Euro model.
