After the first six days this month, our average temperature is 12.9°, which is 20.6° below average. It has improved slightly from three days ago when we were running 25.3° below average.
It didn't help that on March 2nd, we had the coldest daytime high on record in the Quad Cities for a March day with 7°!
Here is the 7-day forecast and those 40s and one 50-degree-plus day looks nice for the cold and snow weary.
If we achieve that 54° high on Monday, that will be the warmest day in the Quad Cities since December 4, 2013, when we reached 53°.
March can be a volatile month with temperatures. We've been as warm as 88° in 1986 and as cold as -19° in 1960.
And, just two years ago, it was the warmest March on record in the Quad Cities with an average high of 53.3°.
To put that into perspective, remember that the average high for the first six days this month is 12.9°!
