Today is the Vernal (Spring) Equinox, marking the official start of astronomical spring.
According to an article from Space.com, this is the earliest start to spring in 124 years for the contiguous United States.
Fittingly, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) released their spring outlook today.
The NOAA outlook is for the April-May-June period. Above-average temperatures are being called for across much of the country.
Wetter than normal conditions are also expected for the eastern two-thirds of the nation. This, combined with already saturated soils, will most likely lead to an elevated threat for flooding in the central and southeastern United States.
