San Francisco making history today
First time on record we’ve ever had four consecutive days of highs 84°+ in Winter
All year we average only seven 84°+ days
Temperature records go back to 1874
To give you a picture of how ridiculous this upcoming heatwave will be: this Saturday, #Denver is likely to break a record from more than 100 years ago by up to 9-12°F...The record is 78°F from 1907 and I think Denver will see 87-90°F for a high on Saturday. #COwx#weather
Phoenix history is about to be made.
A high of 101° today would be the earliest 100-degree day ever recorded and the hottest temperature ever recorded in March.
Then 105° Thursday.
106° Friday.
Heat we don't see until late May.
Extreme Heat Warnings in effect Thu-Sun🌡️
The seasonal anomalousness, as well sheer spatial extent, of upcoming record-shattering Western U.S. heatwave is genuinely startling. This will be associated with, by far, the strongest ridge ever observed during (at least) any Nov-Mar month. #CAwx#AZwx#NMwx#NVwx#UTwx#COwx
Phoenix is about to experience something that has never happened in March.
102° by Wednesday.
105° by Thursday.
Some daily records could shatter by 10 degrees 🌡️
105° would also tie the hottest temperature ever recorded in APRIL.
It’s only March.
Lots of buzz online about an upcoming major March heatwave for the American SW & California. And in this case, it does indeed appear increasingly likely than an extremely anomalous and even record-breaking heatwave may envelop much of the SW about a week from now.
Certainly not a great outlook for an already depleted snowpack across much of the West including the Colorado Basin, Sierra Nevada, and Oregon Cascades. #cawx#cowx#azwx#utwx#nvwx#orwx

Remarkable and widespread record warmth today across the Southwest. In fact, some locations in southern CA and southern AZ are not just breaking daily records, but also monthly February records--with current temperatures well into 90s and approaching 100F in some spots. #CAwx #AZwx
For the 1st time in 25 years not a single square mile of California is dry on the US Drought Monitor. Have to go back to December 2000 to find a similar situation. If you're 25 or younger you've always lived in a world where California has been entering or recovering from drought
