The March weather outlooks are starting out trending strongly above normal and then things trend back to about average.

Ed Shimon indicates the first few weeks of March are showing a strong signal for above-normal temperatures, which is showing in the weather forecasts for the next few weeks.

According to Shimon, that above-normal temperature trend returns as we get into March and it will carry through the summer and into the fall.

Despite a dry February so far and a dry outlook for the spring, Shimon indicates we should be in good shape from a soil moisture standpoint thanks to a very wet January that replenished the ground with moisture.
