Record warm temperatures across the western half of the United States.
The footprint of historic March heat expanded yesterday—intensifying across the Plains while extending as far east as Tennessee.
Shown are select cities where March high temperature records were tied or broken last week. For heat safety and awareness, visit heat.gov
This week’s heat from the West Coast to the Plains will set hundreds of daily records—many by several degrees. Some areas may even set March records, with temperatures more typical of June.

National Weather Service employees were encouraged to take early retirements at an all-hands meeting Thursday. The union believes as many as 1,000 could leave in the coming months - out of a workforce of just over 4,000.

I’m keeping a running upperair observation status page on my website.
I have additional metadata like reason for degradation, degradation type, when the degradation began, etc. In a coming update you will be able to read those things by clicking on the site.
