MU Weather Center

Due primarily to a frigid start, aggregate temps in #February2026 ended up about 1.5°F below avg. at @millersvilleu. For the 4th month in a row, liquid equivalent precipitation (LEP) was slightly below normal. The 3.8" of snow that fell was well below the monthly average of 8.8".

Enhanced, growing updrafts (albeit still low-topped TSRA) are seen in this day cloud phase imagery within the axis of instability (Red Contours). The storms will continue to slowly strengthen and move quickly ESE late this afternoon and this evening across Central and SW PA.

@Trevorb9612 For me, this is perfection by March standards!

@MUweather I’m ngl it’s a little warm out for me today but the lack of humidity saves it

Our wild temp rollercoaster ride is going to continue through the end of #March2026. A zonal/progressive weather pattern will support frequent cold frontal passages and huge swings in temps. Brief but significant warmups will be replaced by sharp cold shots every few days. Phew!

A severe thunderstorm watch has been issued for parts of Maryland, Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia until 10 PM EDT

@Trevorb9612 I’m out here right now soaking up the rays 🌞

@MUweather Sounds like another porch rocking afternoon 😎

@Trevorb9612 It was definitely a nice day. Today is even more wonderful!

@MUweather Because of course!!!! Rinse and repeat! Yesterday felt absolutely amazing in the sun!!!

@Trevorb9612 Yeah.

@MUweather And then chilly Monday?

@Trevorb9612 This evening and then again Sunday night.

@MUweather Is it gonna rain at all today or this weekend

@Trevorb9612 It's amazing out there today! Big W!!

@MUweather I just enjoy the colors i suppose!!! Wow I didn’t realize how nice out it was today!!! What a day to have off work!!!

@Trevorb9612 I can definitely get behind the last three but NOT the sunsets over snow. Yuck!

@MUweather I appreciate winter for certain things, I LOVE sunsets over snow covered hills in the winter but that’s preferably when it’s not sub zero wind chills! I try and appreciate things about every season! Long days in summer are awesome, leaves in fall! Flowers in spring

@Trevorb9612 I believe it! That stretch from late January through early Feb was ROUGH!

@MUweather My heat bill this year was maybe the highest I’ve ever personally paid since not living with my parents like 10 years ago. The only year that came close was 18-19.

@Trevorb9612 Oh yes.. good riddance, winter! That we can definitely agree on! Bring on trout season and warmer days!

@MUweather lol jeeze Kyle let’s enjoy spring first! I’m not ready for the humidity and bugs! Though I’m definitely ready for those 70 degree days on the patio! Goodbye winter! I’ve had enough

In today's SWD, I summarize the crazy temp rollercoaster ride we've been on so far in #March2026 and look ahead to more wild extremes over the next 7-10 days. The battle between spring/summer and winter rages on.. millersville.edu/weathercenter/…

@Trevorb9612 And I want the consistent 80s!! June is coming.. 🔥

@MUweather Heat off heat on heat off heat on ….on and on!!! I just would like some consistency….i know constant 60s in March is a bit much to ask…I’m just annoyed we go from 80 to 30 🤣🤣🤣 like cmon man I just want the in between!

@Trevorb9612 This "pneumonia weather" certainly isn't fun. I'll take my 70s on Sunday and run for awhile.

@MUweather I hate it…..60s every day please

2/2 The high pressure system will then shift into the western Atlantic Sun. On its backside, SSW winds of 10-20 mph will return and boost high temps into the mid 70s to perhaps 80°F west of I-83/Rt. 11 Sun afternoon under partly sunny skies. #GetOutside and #Enjoy the fresh air!

1/2 In the wake of tonight's disturbance, an area of high pressure will settle into the Northeast tomorrow and promote partly sunny and pleasant conditions for the start of the weekend. Northerly winds of 7-14 mph will accompany highs in the upper 50s to mid 60s..

A disturbance & its associated cold front will drop southeastward through the Commonwealth from this afternoon through tonight & bring showers to northern MD & the LSV between ~4 PM - Midnight. Rainfall amounts should not exceed 0.30" in most locations.

Astronomical #spring just began at 7:46 a.m. EDT! It will certainly feel like the season today with highs in the mid 60s to perhaps 70°F despite increasing clouds, & the warmer weather will last through the weekend before another blast of much cooler air arrives early next week.

Southerly winds of 8-16 mph on the backside of a high pressure system over the western Atlantic will usher more seasonable air into northern MD, southeastern PA and the Lower Susquehanna Valley today. Despite mostly cloudy skies, high temps should reach the upper 40s to low 50s.
