We topped out at 75.9 and I registered a 15 mph wind gust. Our new property is pretty darn steep so I split the difference and put the station halfway down the hill. We are surrounded by a lot of pasture so I'm expecting some serious wind now.

My March temp was 4.1 degrees above average but it really didn’t feel that warm last month.
Wednesday - Friday will be a test to see if DFW can continue its 70*F+ streak.
Forecasts highs right now are 71*F Wednesday, and 69*F Thursday/Friday.
If we can survive these 3 days without breaking the streak, it should continue into at least mid-next week.

Seriously though, when was the last time the Atlanta area (and N GA for that matter) was impacted by a *significant* tornado outbreak? Was it really 4/27/11? And in my head the only other time before that was 3/14/08?

There was one last year. Newnan was hit with an EF3. That's significant.
Overachieving big time. Currently 92*F at DFW.
Forecast high was only 89*F.

Newman isn’t Atlanta and definitely not North Georgia.
Actually, now that I've taken a deeper look, the record high of 89*F has been shattered for today.

There was one in Austell, GA, too. I think Atlanta was warned on that storm.
Wasn't the Newnan tornado an EF4?
But yeah, that was the most significant tornado (by far) to impact Metro Atlanta in recent history, and one of the strongest tornadoes ever to impact Metro Atlanta.
94*F now. Currently ties for the warmest day of the year.
It did help that the fog/stratus this morning stayed away from the Metroplex, so we've had full insolation all day.

Now it's 95*F, officially the warmest day of the year.

He is correct. Level 3 seems too high for I-20 north.

Yes, you're right. It was EF4. In my mind, and because that thing was headed straight for me, It was the worst storm since 4/27/2011.
Stop the madness!

damn, might need a thread lol
Severe weather really having a go this year. Next one already setting it’s self up .. sheesh 
Friday looks interesting Wbzs around 850mb, plenty of moisture above the freezing layer, steep lapse rates, a couple of impulses embedded in the cyclonic flow and a "warm" sfc layer in the low 60s should set off a decent coverage of showers with a rumble of thunder or 2. Any of the sustained showers/updraft will have the potential for small hail a few of which might be strong enough to produce enough hail to cover the ground.

Going to be close to another freeze across parts of the area Sunday and Monday mornings. The coldest I've seen in the ensembles I've seen around here is 35/36. Really hopeful that we can keep enough clouds and wind in play so that we can hover just above freezing and keep frost away but Monday morning is concerning. Unfortunately we may have another frost/ freeze threat in about 11/12 days
