| episode_narrative | A long period of near-record or record warmth affected all of southern Wisconsin during the early part of March, 2000. A persistant upper-level pattern that favored a jet stream position to the northwest or north of Wisconsin allowed warm air to be pushed into Wisconsin. Madison (Dane Co.) set a new record highs of 68 on the 5th, 69 on the 6th, 77 on the 7th, and 73 on the 8th. Madison also set new record high minimums of 50 on the 7th and 8th. Milwaukee (Milwaukee Co.) set new record highs of 59 on the 4th, 77 on the 7th, and 77 on the 8th. The 77 degrees highs on the 7th were are now the highest readings so early in the year for both Madison and Milwaukee. Newspaper articles indicated silver maples and pussy willows started to bud, and many migratory birds returned several weeks early. Many golf courses opened up while ski resorts closed. Normal highs and for early March across southern Wisconsin are in the mid to upper 30s while minimums are in the lower to middle 20s. |
