March 10, 2025 Monday Weather Update

Quiet weather until major storm develops later in week

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.

Quiet day across much of the Lower 48 except for clouds and rain in the Southeast. But that’s finally moved out of Atlanta and tomorrow will be beautiful. We’re in a more Spring like pattern east of the Rockies through the third week of March — and that gets us officially to Spring.

Top story for the week will be a powerful storm system in the central U.S. with minimum pressure in the low-970s mb — exceptionally low over land. However, this system develops east of the Rockies (Lee low) with a strong cut-off low or cold mid-level trough. The overall upper-level pattern remains in-tact with the polar vortex (purple and white fuzzball over Hudson Bay) still providing the western Lower 48 with winter weather.
