All signs continue to point to an exceptional, long-duration, and record-breaking to (in some cases) record-shattering March heatwave initially centered across U.S. Southwest but expanding to much broader region next week. This is effectively a full-on summer heatwave in March.
The broader points I emphasized earlier this week during my (recorded) livestream are all still relevant. All-time March heat records will be smashed and mountain snowpack will be decimated, with implications for long-term wildfire risk & water supply.
