Winner! Crescent sunrise ☀️🌙🌎❤️ #PartialSolarEclipse over Baltimore from my friend Tim Shahan #SolarEclipse

🔥🌵 HISTORIC HEAT WAVE IN THE SOUTHWEST 🌵🔥 🗓️ March 19, 2026 🏆 This is not just warm… this is one of the most extreme March heat events ever recorded across the Southwest U.S. A powerful high-pressure ridge has pushed temperatures 20° to 30° above normal, smashing daily AND monthly records across multiple states. ⸻ 🚨 RECORD SMASHERS 🌡️ Arizona & California Desert Heat • El Centro, CA: 105°F (Record High) ➡️ Normal: 81°F • Phoenix, AZ: 105°F (Record High) ➡️ Normal: 79°F • Yuma, AZ: 106°F (Record High) ➡️ Normal: 81°F 👉 These were not just daily records… 💥 ALL-TIME March records for these locations ⸻ 📍 Southern California Records Broken (Selected): • Woodland Hills: 102°F (New March record) • Burbank: 99°F (Tied all-time March record) • Lancaster: 93°F (New March record) • Palmdale: 91°F (New March record) • Santa Maria: 88°F (Record broken) ⸻ 📍 Nevada Joins the Heat • Las Vegas (Harry Reid Int’l): 95°F 👉 New monthly March record ⸻ 🌎 BIGGER PICTURE • A location in Southern California hit 108°F, tying the hottest March temperature ever recorded in the U.S. • Phoenix recorded one of its earliest 100° days ever • Dozens of records are falling across a region impacting millions of people ⸻ ⚠️ WHY THIS MATTERS • This level of heat is more typical of June or July • Snowpack melt + drought concerns are increasing • Fire season risk may ramp up earlier than normal ⸻ 🤯 BOTTOM LINE This isn’t just a hot day… 👉 It’s a historic, record-shattering March heat wave that is rewriting the climate record books across the Southwest. ⸻ #RecordHeat #HeatWave #ArizonaWeather #CaliforniaWeather #VegasWeather

SPRING BEGINS FRIDAY, and guess what?!? 🗓️ 🌎 The Vernal Equinox (Sun directly over the equator and shifting North). 🕥10:46 AM March 20 🥚 😉 The egg balance is a myth, but try it anyway. ⭐️ I give in! 🌷I’m truly ready for it. ☀️ Let’s Go!!! #spring

☄️ ANOTHER METEORITE FOUND 🪨 🪨 This is the second one found by Roberto Vargas. 👉🏻 Type: Eucrite 📍Location: Sharon Center, OH 📏 About the same as his find yesterday: 5g. 🦠 This One Has SPIKES. It is harmless. “These hairs on the crust wild features same type same meteorite” 📝 Mike Hankey, our Maryland friend on site as well from The American Meteor Society is sharing info with me to pass along to you. 📝 SMALL ASTEROID: That’s the word from NASA. 2 meters long, weighing 6 metric tons. It may have broke into 1000 pieces over Ohio when explosion was heard. 🛰️ 📡 Observed by Satellite and Doppler Radar when it reached our atmosphere. STREWN FIELD (map) Red shows where ~10kg meteorites would land if this fall produced any. Dark orange is ~1kg, orange is ~100g, light orange is ~10g, and yellow is ~1g and smaller. #meteorite #ohio #ohwx

@TopGolfLegend @TonyPannWBAL @dougkammerer @ChuckBell4 Just sent you a DM

@JustinWeather @TonyPannWBAL @dougkammerer @ChuckBell4 Hey Justin, I don’t see the envelope icon on your page. Is there another way to message or can you DM me first?

@JustinWeather @TonyPannWBAL @dougkammerer @ChuckBell4 Might be out of your wheelhouse here but I’ve been sitting on this meteorite I found when I was a kid in North Carolina for a while. Any idea on who to consult for analysis and value?

@JayFritz87285 You were lucky
