Having said that, it's time to retire the #BOTS hashtag. I know there will be some instances of snow in March but we got our big one and spring-like temperatures are on the horizon. Here's the latest from the National Weather Service:
.LONG TERM /Monday through Thursday/... Issued at 309 AM EST Fri Feb 26 2021 The first week of March will most likely exhibit generally tame conditions. There is at least moderate confidence that the polar jet will lift north of the region, closer to southern Canada. A couple cut-off circulations caught in the remaining southern stream will present slight chance to chances of light precipitation while passing to the south of central Indiana. Confidence on the details of these rather small features is low to moderate...with any light rain to most likely cross Indiana in the Tuesday and Thursday time frames...with the threat of some wet snowflakes mixing in during chillier morning hours, especially across northern counties. Although certainly little or no impact is expected at this time. Otherwise the period should begin seasonably chilly but very pleasant under clear skies Monday-Monday night as seasonably strong high pressure advances into the Mid-West. Gradients are progged to slacken through the rest of the period as the jet retreats north and the broad, flat ridge builds over much of the US. Winds should be constrained to light breezes most of the time, under consistently partly cloudy skies. Temperatures are expected to gradually moderate through near normal to slightly above normal levels during the period.
Woo hoo, pleasantly clear skies!
