• What shaped the weather in February — and what it means for March

    Our meteorologist explains with practical recommendations →
  • The polar vortex weakened in February

    That made the jet stream wavier —

    pushing cold air south

    and helping storms form more often.


    And this will carry on into March!

  • Strong US temperature contrast

    The West was warmer.

    The East was colder.

    That temperature contrast fueled repeated storms.

  • But March isn't identical

    La Niña is fading.

    Storm tracks may slowly shift north.

    That could mean:

    • fewer southern storms later in March

    • more activity across the northern US

  • ⚠️ What this means for you:

    • temperature swings

    • active storm systems

    • strong regional contrasts
