| episode_narrative | After a winter of cloudy, wet conditions, spring struck back with a vengeance in the form of strong atmospheric high pressure. Underneath the high, very warm and dry weather developed - more like early June than late March. Daytime high temperatures averaged in the mid 80s and nighttime lows were equally balmy - in the upper 50s to lower 60s. A new record high was achieved on the 30th, when Reagan National Airport (DCA) had a maximum temperature of 87. This broke the 1963 record by 1 degree.The early heat wave, which began on a weekend, brought the famed Japanese cherry trees into full blossom, causing a tourist traffic jam. However, the warm weather took away what it quickly gave - the blossoms turned to leaves within 5 days, rather than the normal 1 to 2 weeks. |
