NOAA/NCEI Climate at a Glance, contiguous United States. This is the observed record for the month, not a score of anything said in this piece — the forecast ledger begins 2026-08-17 and cannot reach earlier posts.

Temperatures warmed nicely into the 60s and 70s from the Plains to the Southeast with the warming trend to continue through Easter Sunday.

The West Coast will see rain/snow with a storm system lashing the California coastline. Another weaker system is in the Great Lakes with rain/storms affecting Chicago.
