March 3, 2025 Monday Weather Update

Welcome to meteorological spring

What the month did

March 2025 was the 7th-warmest March in the 132-year national record (1895–2026), at 46.8°F against a 1991–2020 normal of 43.6°F (+3.3°F).

March 2025 was the 57th-driest March in the 132-year national record (1895–2026), at 2.4in against a 1991–2020 normal of 2.5in (-0.1in).

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.

Arctic and subtropical airmasses collide across the Plains with Gulf of Mexico moisture and cold, dry continental polar air fueling a powerful storm system.

By late Tuesday, the central pressure reaches 981 mb over Missouri with intense low-level and mid-level winds surrounding the broad circulation. Wind damage outside of thunderstorms will be a major concern.
