Huh, well how ‘bout that?
In which we hit home runs and share an Easter pun.
Quite recently, Twitter made it so tweets won’t render in Substack, the authoring tool I use to write this newsletter. That really sucks, since the tweets add a lot of context and visuals to the newsletter.
As a temporary work-around, I’ve screenshotted the tweets and added links to them. Apologies if this is annoying, I’ll try to see if there’s a better way to do this in the future. Like the rest of the internet, Twitter can be a great source of info, but it sucks not being able to easily share it like I used to.
Anyone wanna head to Key West?
I wouldn’t mind this being my office… as long as it has A/C now!
That’s quite the barrier
The article is actually from several years ago but the info is still good. It’s around this time of year that things get a little difficult to forecast, but not totally impossible either.
While we saw cool temperatures out West, March overall was pretty warm. Matthew Cappucci wrote an article for WaPo (sorry I know these are probably paywalled for you, Apple News link if you have it) that sort of covers the temps we saw in March, but also looks forward to the temps we could see assuming El Niño takes over. Spoiler alert: it would be warm.
Pink, pink, pink, pink moon
Fresh count
Over 120 tornadoes in a 24 hour period (roughly 5/hour). Thankfully I think these areas are getting a break now.
And then this too (tweet link). Just a bit short of the record for that timeframe.
A bit foggy on why there’s no fog
Gerry Díaz explained what’s up with the lack of fog lately (or on Apple News). It’s sort of the lack of a high pressure system out over the Pacific, and colder than average ocean temperatures along the coast.
I am also, not tired of these
Hey, I can see my mouse from here!

Give the people their home runs
While I probably don’t like home runs as much as the average fan, this is pretty interesting (tweet link, Apple News, WaPo article).
You’re welcome for the pun
Twitter also decided to block bots recently, which generally seems like a good thing. However, there are good bots and bad bots, and some of the good bots were used by the National Weather Service, which likely won’t work anymore or won’t work as well. So just about every NWS account was tweeting something like this.
Guess that’s it for now
Gotta figure out how or if I want to use Twitter for these newsletters going forward. Regardless, see you next time weather fam!
