HAPPINESS

IS A WARM CUP

March 9, 2026 11:20 am

Much cooler conditions are expected today as a coastal eddy brings southeast flow to the area. The cooling trend will continue into Tuesday, with another warm up expected to start on Wednesday, lasting through at least Friday and possibly into next week.

Widespread showers and thunderstorms with a severe weather and flash flood risk expected across the Midwest and central/southern Plains Tuesday. Continued active pattern for the Pacific Northwest into the northern Rockies will bring lower elevation coastal/valley rain and heavy high elevation snow. Well above average temperatures across most of the country will continue into the first half of the week with daily record-tying/breaking highs possible.
