An unseasonable warmup will continue to spread throughout most of the US this week, with high temperatures from Texas to the Midwest feeling more like May than the end of meteorological winter.

Hundreds of temperature records – record highs and record-warm lows – are expected to fall through midweek, with Monday and Tuesday forecast to be the warmest days across the Plains and Midwest. On Monday, more than 250 million Americans will experience above-average temperatures.

“This warmth is really beginning to build today across the middle tier of the country, and it continues to shift its way eastward by about Tuesday,” FOX Weather Meteorologist Jane Minar said.

Temperatures more typical for the end of May are possible in cities such as Omaha, Nebraska, and Indianapolis, with highs in the 60s and 70s.

I guess mask up and hide under the bed? (S)

Turning the lawn irrigation system on today...sigh.

As a North Dakotan enjoying 30-40* temps rather than -20* temps, I’m pretty OK with this winter’s weather.

[Tell It Right]

As a reminder, temperature records have been kept for only since we started the Modern Warm Period. So even if we don't catch up to temps as they were in the Medieval Warm Period, or Roman Warm Period (time of Christ), or Minoan Warm Period (Era of Judges in the OT), then we've still shattered "records".

If I’m lucky, it will get to 68 degrees today, and I’ll be a super happy camper. I crave the sunshine and the warmer temps at this time of year.

We get a common warm spell, and the media wet their pants with excitement that they can take up their “man is a virus” mantra once again.

Coldest and wettest/snowiest winter in decades in the West.

So much water down south that a nice size lake is providing plenty of kayaking in Death Valley.

I can recall many a February that had ‘soaring’ temps, even into the low 90s.

Then March roars in and has brought some blizzard-like conditions.

We’re also quite possibly headed for an outbreak of severe weather Tuesday across the central USA as a huge cold front moves down from Canada.

"I know a country where March comes in like an emu and goes out like a tapir. And they don't even know what it means!"

That graph needs to be adjusted for a 6000 year creation model.

So, does this mean we will finally get a Spring season in the Northeast rather than the usual Winter right into Summer weather? Great news.

Here in northern michigan, my tulips are up.

Normal temps here, but I like an early start to spring, bring it on.

[Jamestown1630]

So Punxsutawney Phil was right...

ONLY if they don’t look at 1936

“Normal temps here, but I like an early start to spring, bring it on.”

Early springs are great... as long as they don’t come with a “surprise” late freeze... after the plants are already in ground.

More and more climatologists are admitting there is no warming. How can you have record high temps when the largest ocean in the world is causing record snows?
