• Stormier March expected in parts of the US


    A meteorologist's view and recommendations→
  • The polar vortex weakened in February

    That made the jet stream more wavy — pushing cold air south

    and helping storms form more often.


    This will likely continue into March.

  • Strong US temperature contrast

    The West was warmer.

    The East was cooler.

    That temperature contrast fueled repeated storms.

  • But March won't be 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
