"All of the country, even if you're not necessarily seeing extremes, are going to see generally changing from cold to warm, or warm to cold to warm. Former National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration chief scientist Ryan Maue said he expects extreme weather in all 50 states."
"A heat dome will form early next week and park over the Southwest, baking temperatures to triple digits that haven't been seen this early in the year. Some forecasts see 98 in Phoenix on Tuesday, followed by 103, 105 and two days of 107 degrees."
"Since we are not acclimated to this level of heat this early in the year, it will be more impactful than usual. In 137 years of record-keeping, Phoenix never hit 100 before March 26 and usually hit its first 100-degree day in early May."
The United States is experiencing widespread extreme weather across all regions. Hawaii faces days of heavy downpours, while the Southwest will endure record-breaking heat exceeding 100 degrees Fahrenheit for multiple consecutive days—unusually early in the year. Northern Great Lakes states will receive significant snowfall, and the Midwest and East will be invaded by a polar vortex bringing Arctic temperatures. The East Coast has already experienced weather whiplash, with Washington, D.C. reaching 86 degrees on Wednesday followed by snow on Thursday. Meteorologists predict all 50 states will experience extreme weather, with temperatures fluctuating dramatically between cold and warm conditions throughout the country.
