Well-above-normal temperatures and very dry conditions have been the dominant
form of weather for residents of California and much of the Southwest through
the start of 2022. However, AccuWeather forecasters expect big changes in the
forecast to occur by the weekend.

March began much like January and February in the Southwest as no rain fell and
record highs were even broken in several locations on Tuesday. This includes
Southern California cities such as Anaheim and Palm Springs which hit a toasty
90 and 93 degrees respectively.

More of the same played out on Wednesday, but forecasters are predicting a
significant flip in the weather pattern for late in the week.

“Something those across the Southwest have not seen often is on its way this
week: rain,” said AccuWeather Meteorologist Jessica Storm.

According to the United States Drought Monitor, more than 60% of the West is
experiencing severe drought conditions. Following a December with abundant
precipitation, rain and mountain snow have been lacking since
then.https://embed.acast.com/621d493fbd6e6f0012aa5a66/621f911b0580d000127b9ff5

“Since the beginning of 2022, Los Angeles International Airport has had a mere
0.13 of an inch of rain, which is just 2% of average,” noted Storm, who added
that nearly 6 inches of rain typically falls in the City of Angels during the
first two months of the year.

A dip in the jet stream that will be offshore on Thursday will move over
California by Thursday night. This will finally bring a high chance of
precipitation and abruptly end the recent record-challenging warmth.

Rain is forecast to arrive in Los Angeles by Thursday evening and will taper to
showers by Friday night, according to Storm.

The heaviest rain is likely to fall on Friday morning. Given the cold air in the
upper atmosphere, thunder will be possible, and some of the heaviest showers may
even contain small hail.

Even though the rain is beneficial and greatly needed, it may fall heavily for a
time early on Friday, and localized instances of flooding will be possible.

A general 0.25 to 0.50 of an inch is likely to fall late this week in coastal
areas of Southern California, according to AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Alex
Sosnowski.

“There can be 0.50 of an inch to 1 inch of rain on some of the west- and
southwest-facing mountains along the coast,” he said. Farther north, forecasters
predict a general 0.50 of an inch to 1 inch with local amounts to near 2 inches
along some of the west- and southwest-facing mountains over central and Northern
California from the coast to the Sierra Nevada.

The last time Downtown Los Angeles had measurable rainfall was when 0.06 of an
inch fell on Feb. 15.

The cold air could be startling for some following the above-normal temperatures
that many have become accustomed to lately.

“Temperatures and freezing levels are expected to plummet across Southern
California by the weekend, with nighttime temperatures in the lower 40s
Fahrenheit for Downtown Los Angeles both Saturday night and Sunday night,” said
Storm.

The falling freezing levels will cause snow to fall at very low elevations.
While it will not snow in Los Angeles, snow could impact a stretch of Interstate
5 through an area known as the Grapevine with the most likely time for a slushy
accumulation to be late Friday night to Saturday morning. A brief episode of
precipitation caused the stretch of roadway to close temporarily just over a
week ago.

Farther north, a general 6-12 inches of snow is forecast for the central and
northern Sierra with locally higher amounts possible at some of the ski resorts
and over the ridges and peaks.

Cities farther inland will also face a dramatic change. Highs near 80 degrees on
Thursday will be replaced by upper 50s and lower 60s on Friday and Saturday with
spotty showers in Las Vegas.

This will represent temperatures going from one side of normal to the other.
Typically, the first week of March features highs in the upper 60s in Las Vegas.

The chance of rain is lower in Phoenix, but the cool air will even make it to
the desert. Highs in the middle 80s on Thursday will be replaced temperatures in
the mid-60s this weekend. Normally, Phoenix has highs in the mid-70s in early
March. In addition, blowing dust may become a concern as the lower temperatures
are ushered in by gusty winds and this will also elevate the fire danger.

Much of the Southwest will return to a drier weather pattern early next week,
with temperatures near normal for early March, AccuWeather forecasters say.

Mexico. (Getty Images)

A remarkable discovery made in North Dakota suggests that the asteroid impact
that wiped out dinosaurs and much of the life on Earth occurred in the
springtime.

To reach that conclusion, researchers led by Melanie During, a graduate student
at Uppsala University in Sweden, studied the remains of fossilized fish at the
Tanis dig site in North Dakota. The team of researchers argued that the growth
pattern preserved in the fossilized fish bones suggests that the finned
creatures perished during the spring, according to findings published in the
journal Nature last week.

According to Nature, fish bones grow rapidly in the springtime as food becomes
more abundant and growth slows in winter as the food supply shrinks. With
well-preserved fishbones and the aid of some high-powered technology, what is
known as ‘line of arrested growth’ (LAG) can be seen preserved in the bone
tissue.

A team of researchers was able to create high-resolution
micro-computerized-tomography models of six different fish bones and identified
LAGs in all six, a fact that suggests the asteroid that killed them, and also
the dinosaurs, landed in the spring.

During, the paper’s lead author, said a springtime impact would have been
particularly devastating.

“I think spring puts a large group of the late Cretaceous biota (animal and
plant life) in a very vulnerable spot because they were out and about looking
for food, tending to offspring and trying to build up resources after the harsh
winter,” she said at a news briefing according to CNN.

was one of the very last dinosaurs, wiped out 65 million years ago during the
extinction event that ended the Cretaceous period. Scientists believe that the
incident was provoked by the impact of an asteroid or comet with the Earth off
the coast of what is now Mexico. (Getty Images)

In another finding that backs up that hypothesis, ecosystems in the Southern
Hemisphere recovered nearly twice as fast from the asteroid impact, something
that suggests that the asteroid struck during the vulnerable springtime period
in the Northern Hemisphere.

Yet, according to Nature, LAGs can be contentious. One qualified postdoctoral
researcher, who requested anonymity in order to speak to Nature given the
controversy of the site, questioned the spring-impact hypothesis.

“There is no uniform, agreed-upon definition of what a LAG is or how you
identify one,” the unnamed researcher said, adding that there is not agreement
on how LAGs form.

The Tanis dig site first attracted attention and controversy in 2019 when it was
discovered by Robert DePalma, now a PhD student at the University of Manchester,
U.K., according to Nature. DePalma said that the Tanis site captured something
that had never been seen before — a picture of what had happened in the minutes
to hours after the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs struck Earth on Mexico’s
Yucatán Peninsula about 66 million years ago.

DePalma’s discovery was met with skepticism as no other place on Earth is
believed to store a clear record of the day the dinosaurs died. Additionally,
DePalma was accused of restricting access to the dig site, something he denied
in an email to AccuWeather, saying that researchers from the American Museum of
Natural History in New York City, Stony Brook University and others from
European universities have had access to the Tanis site.

Fossils-Deep Time” during a media preview in Washington, Tuesday, June 4, 2019.

During’s results also help to boost DePalma’s claims of a well-preserved dig
site.

“This deposit literally looks like a car crash frozen in place. It looks like
the most violent thing I have ever seen, preserved in pristine condition,”
During said of the fossil site, according to CNN.

In a 2019 paper, DePalma argued that the massive impact formed 10-meter-high
(33-foot-high) seiche waves that killed the fish and other species in the area
instantly. That wave deposited dead organisms that became preserved in Tanis,
organisms that During excavated for the study.

“I feel that the new study supports multiple lines of evidence previously
published by our team on this remarkable site,” DePalma wrote in an email to
AccuWeather. “The new data adds to the evidence for the chronology of the
[asteroid impact]. It is important that data such as this is published, so that
other scientists can continue to build a coherent and richer interpretation of
the past.”

region, including around the country’s largest city.

By Courtney Travis, AccuWeather senior meteorologist



Homes and roads were fully engulfed by floodwaters in Lismore, New South Wales,
on March 1. Heavy rain and flooding will continue over the next two days, moving
south toward Sydney.

Recovery efforts are beginning in Australia following days of excessive rainfall
across the states of Queensland and New South Wales in eastern Australia that
left thousands of properties and entire neighborhoods underwater. More rain is
on the way for some of the hardest-hit areas, AccuWeather forecasters warn.

As of Wednesday, the rising waters had resulted in at least 14 deaths, and
thousands were under evacuation orders, according to The Associated Press.

Emergency departments deployed boats to help rescue residents from the rising
floodwaters and helicopters airlifted those who were stranded on rooftops.

for COVID-19 on Tuesday, said the government will continue to focus on the

when the city was inundated by what was described as a once-in-a-century event.

One of the hardest-hit cities was Lismore, a city in the northeastern corner of
New South Wales, approximately 125 miles (200 km) south of Brisbane. In downtown
Lismore, streets became raging rivers as harrowing video taken in the area
captured water levels approaching the second floor of local businesses.

Water levels of the Richmond River, in the nearby town of Woodburn, rose so
quickly on Monday that dozens of cars became trapped on a bridge. With both ends
of the bridge underwater, travelers, several of whom had horses, emerged from
their vehicles looking for help.

The 50 people who were trapped by the water were rescued from the bridge early
Tuesday, officials said.

“We had no capabilities to get them off in the dark so we just had to make sure
that they bunkered down and we went in this morning and got them all out,”
Woodburn State Emergency Services Commander Ashley Slapp told the AP.

Monday’s heavy rainfall triggered a landslide and made a roadway impassable in
the area of Ramornie National Park. In Mitchelton, a suburb of Brisbane, heavy
rains destroyed a soccer pitch, leaving the artificial turf playing surface
ripped and in a wrinkled mess.0 seconds of 19 secondsVolume 0%

A soccer pitch was damaged after heavy rain triggered flash flooding in
Mitchelton, Queensland, on Feb. 28.

Meanwhile, Sydney reported just over 9 inches (about 230 mm)of rain during the
final week of February, which is almost three times the normal amount of rain
the city receives for the entire month. AccuWeather meteorologists say more rain
is on the way for the Harbour City and others across eastern Australia.

“Rounds of rain are expected to continue up and down the Queensland and New
South Wales coasts through the middle of the week,” said AccuWeather Senior
Meteorologist Tyler Roys.

Roys warned that several more inches (up to 100 mm) of rain could fall anywhere
along the coast.

In anticipation of the additional rainfall, New South Wales Premier Dominic
Perrottet said 40,000 people had been ordered to evacuate, with as many as
300,000 others under evacuation warnings in what he called “unprecedented
flooding.“

According to the AP, this is the worst flooding the region has seen since a 2011
event that was described as a once-in-a-century event. Jonathan Howe, a
meteorologist for Australia’s Bureau of Meteorology (BOM), described the
flooding as “astronomical.”

Before the heavy rain shifted southward into New South Wales, AccuWeather
reported early this week that rainfall amounts of 24.1 inches (611.6 mm)
descended on the Brisbane area. This broke the record for the highest three-day
rainfall in the city’s recorded history. The city’s previous rain record for a
three-day period was 23.6 inches (600.4 mm) in 1974.

“It’s unrelenting. It’s just coming down in buckets. It’s not a waterfall, it’s
like waves of water just coming down,” Annastacia Palaszczuk, the premier of
Queensland, told the Brisbane Times.

The deluge left few areas untouched by floodwaters, with scenes of submerged
vehicles common throughout the region. Reuters reported that more than 1,400
homes in Brisbane were at risk of flooding, while tens of thousands of power
outages have been reported.

The torrent of water swamped local rivers, sending dozens into major flood
stage. By Monday morning, local time, the major flood levels peaked on the
Brisbane River during high tide at 12.63 feet (3.85 meters), according to
the BOM. The raging water sent debris into boardwalks and eateries that line the
river.

PAIR OF STORMS TO UNLOAD SNOW AND ICE FOLLOWING SURGE OF WARMTH

store, and snow and […]

A pair of winter storms will have the potential to bring travel issues across
parts of the central and eastern United States late this week and into the first
full week of March. In some locations, big temperature fluctuations are in
store, and snow and ice may follow temperatures more fitting of April or May.

As is often the case with March, the weather can prove volatile, and that will
be on display this weekend, as the storms will also bring a severe
weather danger across parts of the Midwest and the southern U.S. where warmer
air is in control.

Snow and ice from the first storm may avoid major cities of the Midwest,
including Chicago and Detroit, but other areas such as Minneapolis will
experience potentially disruptive snow and ice. Areas farther to the east, such
as northern New York state and New England, will face wintry precipitation from
Friday night to Saturday night as well.

The two storms will first bring wild weather changes to the western U.S. along
with much-needed rain and mountain snow before they turn eastward late this week
into early next week.

The first storm will tend to transfer its energy from California to northeastern
Colorado and western Nebraska on Friday. This transfer is actually a fairly
common maneuver for storms as they attempt to cross the high mountain ranges of
the West. As this storm then travels northeastward along the edge of a bulging
area of warmth over the Plains during Friday night and the Great Lakes region on
Saturday, a zone of snow and ice will develop and expand near and north of the
storm track.

As is often the case in Denver, and especially so in the spring season, dramatic
changes in the weather are expected to cause weather whiplash in the Mile High
City late this week. The high temperature will reach the 70s on Thursday and the
60s on Friday before colder air and snow arrive from Friday night into Saturday.
Temperatures may barely reach the 40s on Saturday as snow makes roads and
sidewalks slushy and slippery.

A band of somewhat heavier snow is likely to develop from southeastern Wyoming
to western Nebraska and extend across portions of South Dakota on Saturday. The
snow is then expected to track across central and northern Minnesota and into
parts of northern Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan Saturday night,
according to AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Brett Anderson.

Within this zone, a few inches to perhaps as much as a foot of snow may fall,
especially over portions of the High Plains. Travel along portions of I-80, I-90
and I-29 could be slow and difficult with road conditions ranging from wet to
slushy to snow-covered.

Minneapolis is likely to get wintry precipitation on both the front and the back
end of the first storm, but a wintry mix and changeover to rainfall could limit
total accumulations. Still, slippery driving conditions will be possible as a
mixture of snow, sleet and freezing rain will spread over the Twin Cities from
Friday night into Saturday morning. Lingering mild air will allow for multiple
hours of rain in the metro area from Saturday to Saturday evening, but just
enough cold air may sweep in Saturday night to bring a period of snow.
Temperatures by Sunday morning will dip into the 20s, and any wet and slushy
areas are likely to become slippery once again.

Farther to the east, Chicago, Milwaukee and Detroit are expected to receive rain
from the first storm from Friday night to Saturday night, with a wintry mix zone
forecast to extend across areas farther to the north for a time across Wisconsin
and the Lower Peninsula of Michigan. However, much of the colder areas of both
states will transition to rain during the height of the storm. In much of this
zone, the rain will simply end as the first storm moves away.

“In the Northeast, the majority of ice or a wintry mix will generally be
confined to upstate New York and central and northern New England with rain
forecast for Pittsburgh, New York City, Hartford, Connecticut, and Boston on
south from Saturday afternoon to Saturday night and early Sunday,” AccuWeather
Senior Meteorologist Bill Deger said.

But, in the northern areas of the region in cities such as Syracuse, New
York; Burlington, Vermont; Manchester, New Hampshire; and Bangor, Maine; a
wintry mix, including some ice, can occur. Even in areas that pick up some ice
and snow, a transition to rain is likely at the height of the storm, and road
conditions should improve from later Saturday night to
Sunday.https://embed.acast.com/621d493fbd6e6f0012aa5a66?feed=true

As the first storm moves eastward along the Canada and U.S. border this weekend,
AccuWeather forecasters say there will be a significant temperature contrast
with a few hundred miles. Highs will be in the 20s and 30s across the northern
tier of the country as temperature readings in the 50s, 60s and 70s occur in
locations south of the storm. 

Behind the first storm, colder air will also plunge southward across portions of
the Plains and Midwest then across part of the Northeast later this weekend to
early next week. The temperature contrast zone will shift southward by hundreds
of miles as a result.

For example, around Syracuse, following a period of snow and ice on Saturday,
temperatures may slowly rise through the 40s Saturday night with a high in the
60s in store for Sunday. But, by Monday, temperatures may fail to climb much
above 40 and are likely to dip below freezing Monday night as the next storm
gets underway.

“Just as portions of the High Plains and Rockies are shocked by cold air and
snow associated with the first storm, the same can happen to areas farther south
in the Midwest and perhaps the Northeast early next week,” AccuWeather Senior
Meteorologist Joe Lundberg said, adding that “some areas may go from highs in
the 50s and 60s this weekend to a snowstorm or at least a period of snow early
next week.”

The exact track of the second storm along that farther south temperature
boundary will determine where a new band of snow or wintry mix sets up from
Monday to Tuesday. The potential for several inches of snow may aim at areas
near the I-80/90 corridor of the Midwest and Northeast. It could develop in such
a way that cities such as Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, Albany, New York, and
Boston end up with some snow.

This may not be the last storm of the season with wintry precipitation for the
Central and Eastern states.

Additional storms are likely to roll from the Rockies to the Upper Midwest with
the potential for snow on their northern flank into mid-March, according to
AccuWeather Lead Long-Range Forecaster Paul Pastelok.

“Storms into mid-March will have some warm air out in front of them so snow may
be limited to portions of the Rockies, the northern tier of the Midwest and
Northeast, but a storm that will come about during the third week of the month
may have colder air in front of it and may produce snow and ice farther to the
south in the Midwest and Northeast,” Pastelok said.

As a result, warm weather fans should enjoy the warmth while it lasts as spring
snowstorms are likely for portions of the Midwest and Northeast, which could
result in some cases of weather whiplash.

Leftover space junk from a mission conducted eight years ago is racing toward
the moon and is on track to leave a sizable crater behind, researchers say.

By Thomas Leffler, AccuWeather staff writer



Scientists have reported a large pile of space junk weighing three tons will
crash into the moon on Friday, March 4, creating a crater that can fit multiple
semi-tractor trailers inside.

An impact on the far side of the moon will soon create a crater wider than a
school bus on the lunar surface.

According to The Associated Press, leftover space junk from a rocket mission
will impact the Earth’s celestial companion on Friday, March 4, with
approximately three tons of debris hurtling into the moon’s surface at 5,800
miles per hour. The impact will create a crater between 33 and 66 feet in
diameter, according to the AP. On impact, the debris will send moon dust
hundreds of miles across the lunar surface.

Due to lack of atmosphere, craters are very common on the moon, remaining on the
surface after impact due to lack of weather-causing erosion. These impacts,
taking up over 1,000 miles of the surface, are created by multitudes of meteors
and asteroids as well as space junk.

expected to be hit with three tons of debris on March 4, with experts stating
the impact will create a crater up to 66 feet in diameter. (Photo by

The landing zone of the space debris, which is expected to hit on March 4, will
keep the impact away from satellite detection, at least temporarily. Several
detection devices for impacts, including a Chinese lunar lander and NASA’s Lunar
Reconnaissance Orbiter, will be too far away to determine the crater’s full
extent. More information about the impact may take months to come to light.

“I had been hoping for something (significant) to hit the moon for a long time,”
mathematician and physicist Bill Gray stated on his asteroid-tracking
website Project Pluto. “Ideally, it would have hit on the near side of the moon
at some point where we could actually see it.”

Gray has been at the forefront of determining the cause of the space junk
impact, eventually settling on China’s Chang’e 5-T1 booster, part of a rocket
used in a 2014 mission. 

On Feb. 21, 2022, China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that the booster
was not the object headed for the moon’s surface, yet Gray says the Ministry had
confused the 2014 mission with a November 2020 mission.

weeks, even months, to confirm the impact through satellite images. (AP

In the 2020 mission, the rocket booster had re-entered over the Pacific Ocean,
whereas experts determined the 2014 mission’s booster had not de-orbited. Gray
called this “probably an honest error on the part of the Foreign Ministry.” On
March 2, United States Space Command officials confirmed that the 2014 Chinese
lunar mission “never de-orbited.”

While not 100% certain that the 2014 mission is the catalyst for the March 4
impact, Gray stated that his evidence is “fairly convincing,” based on the
composition of the object amid other factors. Before settling on the Chinese
mission as the cause, Gray’s investigation initially pointed toward a 2015
SpaceX launch of a deep space climate observatory for NASA before further data
prompted a correction.

In the midst of his investigation, Gray stated that the impact is not “a China
problem” but rather a worldwide issue with how space mission debris is treated.

“Nobody is particularly careful about what they do with junk at this sort of
orbit,” Gray said.
