Those people are correct. The earth goes in cycles and we are naturally warming at this time... but science shows us that our emissions have amplified the warming making it faster than nature would have. Adaptation is tougher for coral for example that can't move to cooler water and isn't getting recovery seasons.

Fairbanks, Alaska hit -40° (or colder) yesterday for the 31st time in their 9th coldest winter on record so far…

If Phoenix makes 105 today it’s the earliest 105 on record and more than 2 months ahead of average for first 105.

@carl_arredondo @SamWnek a classic. But I definitely like weather forecasting better and have far greater confidence ha!

To my former meteorologists, here is the best meme to share this time of year!! @Ginger_Zee @SamWnek

MLB shifting spring training schedule because of the heat Some hiking trails closed All-time March heat reaching into the Rocky Mountains!

ALL-TIME MARCH TEMPERATURE RECORDS BROKEN WEDNESDAY: 107 Indio, CA 105 Palm Springs, CA 102 Phoenix 101 Needles, CA 95 Bakersfield 94 Las Vegas 93 Salinas, CA 92 Fresno 86 Reno 79 Elko, NV 76 Lake Tahoe 76 Flagstaff And the forecast:

As of 2:57 pm MST Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport has reached 100°. This is not only the first 100° day of 2026, but it is also the earliest occurrence of 100° in Phoenix (which last occurred on March 26, 1988). #azwx

At 436 PM MDT Boise officially reached 80 degrees. This is the earliest date for 80 degrees in records dating back to 1875, and only the second time Boise has ever reached 80 in winter, the other time being March 19, 1997.

@WayneBerg14 🤣

@Ginger_Zee just pick up once and I'll stop.

I’ve had one spam number call me a dozen times a day for years. Part of me wants to figure out how to trace it to the person calling and thank them for the commitment. By far the most my actual telephone number is used.

@KJ_WX 🤣

@Ginger_Zee I used to get those. I finally had enough and said "hey! I don't want to contribute to my alma mater anymore!" 😆

@rickandvik2006 Oh the number comes though different each time unfortunately - different digits so would have to block lots of numbers

@Ginger_Zee I'm sure you know how to block a call, it's easy, blocking = no call, so I'm assuming you like the fact they call several times a day. I also figure you must have googled the number, if no results just pay the small fee for a company to look into "who's calling me" just hit BLOCK

Florida gets over 20,000 weather modification claims — but no evidence — since new law passed - E&E News by POLITICO eenews.net/articles/flori…

Lowest snowpack on record for Utah, Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona. Not good for the Colorado river basin given this serious heat wave and persistent ridge. Many thanks to @AlanaBrophyWX for help finding images of this difficult snow season.

We know that a majority of American cities have seen their number of heat waves double since 1980 but this one is super early! Phoenix has only ever seen 100° one time in the month of March but they should hit it for at least five days, crushing records.

the other BIG headline from heat and warmest winter on record in Utah and many other states-- LOWEST snow pack on record (those records are shorter (1980), but still noteable). Temperature records well over a century depending on the site.

These two things can happen simultaneously. Thanks!

@CherylStroh last minute change puts me on today!

Hi @Ginger_Zee any appearances coming up on gma3
