Happy First Day of Spring from Scalia Lab!
It is getting warmer outside, but not before another expected period of cooler temperatures. According to the Climate Prediction Center, the next week to ten days will see temperatures slightly lower than average. These lower temps will be due to a troughing pattern expected to deepen over the weekend bringing cooler air to the region.

This past Sunday, March 3rd, A significant tornado outbreak occurred in Alabama and Georgia. Three dozen tornado reports were submitted throughout the event, and the exact number of tornadoes is still yet to be determined. Conditions were predicted to be favorable for tornadoes as early as a day in advance, including a warm front bringing moisture from the Gulf, a wave of low pressure, and strong low-level winds. This outbreak has caused at least 23 fatalities, the most since 2013.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has recently released the Global Climate Assessment for January. The NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information ranked this past January as tied with 2007 for the third warmest on record combining averaged land and ocean temperatures. The top ten warmest January land and ocean surface temperatures have all occurred since 2002. Furthermore, both Arctic and Antarctic sea ice percentages are below average. Antarctic ice in particular was down over 23 percent putting it as the second smallest ice extent for January on record.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) released its climate analysis of 2018 last week. Among its findings were that 2018 was the fourth warmest year on record, the third wettest year on record, and that there were over 91 Billion dollars in climate-related disasters. Both land and sea temperatures factor into the global average temperature, which has been above average for 42 years consecutively.

A quieter weak is in store for Athens weather-wise, with milder temperatures and a significant warm-up starting Wednesday. A strengthening low pressure could bring up to an inch of rain on Thursday, with temperatures nearly approaching 70! #ohwx #ohiouwx
A frigid morning will turn into a spring-like afternoon, with high temps approaching 60! That's nearly a 30+ degree jump in temperatures today! #ohwx #ohiouwx
As we head into the beginning of March, expect a fairly significant cooldown with below average temperatures expected across much of the country. Chances for some snow will even return this Sunday to SE Ohio #ohwx #ohiouwx
Mostly sunny skies will persist today and tomorrow, with a significant warm-up expected tomorrow before we cool down again heading into the weekend!
Winds will subside as we go throughout the day today. Otherwise, temperatures will be cold as highs will stay in the 30's. Keep those heavier coats handy!
