"All of the country, even if you're not necessarily seeing extremes, are going to see generally changing from cold to warm, or warm to cold to warm. Former National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration chief scientist Ryan Maue said he expects extreme weather in all 50 states."
"A heat dome will form early next week and park over the Southwest, baking temperatures to triple digits that haven't been seen this early in the year. In 137 years of record-keeping, Phoenix never hit 100 before March 26 and usually hit its first 100-degree day in early May."
"Since we are not acclimated to this level of heat this early in the year, it will be more impactful than usual. The weather service warned people about the unprecedented early-season extreme temperatures affecting the Southwest region."
Extreme weather is affecting or about to affect virtually every part of the United States. Hawaii is experiencing days of heavy rainfall, while the Southwest faces a heat dome bringing record-breaking temperatures exceeding 100 degrees Fahrenheit earlier than historically typical. Northern Great Lakes states will receive significant snowfall, and the Midwest and East will endure Arctic polar vortex conditions. Weather whiplash has already impacted the East, with Washington, D.C. experiencing 86-degree weather on Wednesday followed by snow on Thursday. Meteorologists predict all 50 states will experience extreme weather, with temperatures fluctuating dramatically between cold and warm conditions. Phoenix is forecast to reach 107 degrees, unprecedented for late March based on 137 years of records.
