Pattern March Thread

For 3/13 lows, Maxar has just lowered KATL from 25 to 23 (coldest so far this winter 26 three times) and KSAV from upper 20s to 26 (coldest so far this winter 25 on Jan 30th and record for the date 24).

For some perspective, KSAV has had only one day colder than 26 back to 1873 after March 13th and that was the 25 of 3/15/1993, which was 2 days after the big storm. Otherwise, they’ve had several 26s after March 13th (as late as March 27th).

That low of a temperature will cause a great deal of damage to blooms in both locations. It may end or minimize your pollen season as the trees will simply leaf out in a few more weeks with new buds as the male pollen will be decimated by the cold.

Due to the very warm Dec into the first few days of Jan, I've had azalea blooms in various locations of my yard since late Jan due to that false spring! Some are in bloom now but not a big % because so many bloomed much earlier and have since fallen.
 
I wonder if there are going to be a lot of outages throughout the SE from the high winds just behind the front. I’d think most in the SE bored with wx recently won’t be after this weekend! This is going to be quite a memorable period!

Heavy rainfall, thunderstorms, very high general winds behind front, sudden big drop in temps, near record cold, and on top of all of that, snow, some quite heavy, in some areas!

So happy I bought a whole house generator??
 
I’m still at 29.8. If the winds die down I don’t see how I avoid teens tonight. Thankfully none of my fruit has bloomed yet.

They must be keeping the wind up or clouds in longer. I’ve been sitting at 43 all morning despite some peaks of sun which with the March sun angle means there is some impressive CAA going on. If it clears out and the wind die down I fully expect at least low 20s
 
I actually wonder if some spots might bust low on temps overnight. Already down to 31 here just after sunset and still a decent breeze. If the winds die down, 16-18 is a definite possibility
 
record low for tonight in CHA = 20
forecast low for tonight in CHA = 14

if 14 verifies, it will be the 2nd latest date with a low of 14 or colder ever going back to 1879, second only to the low of 11 degrees on 3/15/93!
a low of 15 or 16 would be the 3rd latest date at 16 or colder (only 1993 and 1965 were later)

The deep cold associated with the tropospheric polar vortex is moving on the other side of the world around that time frame with a persistent GOAK trough, at best there’s gonna be Pac polar cold/waves, perhaps with blocking and a shallow western ridge. which is still to warm for snow this time of the year for areas outside the mountains
 
What’s ATL supposed to do? They have not been below 25 all winter, correct?
 
I’m glad I’m under a freeze warning. How would I have ever known to protect my plants? It’s already 27/13 and I barely poked above freezing today.

Chances are fading by the day

Heck even out here I don't expect another significant accumulation. Probably flurries if we get another one
