| 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. One record high temperature was set at Baltimore Washington International (BWI) airport with 86 degrees. The previous record had been 83, set in 1979. Four long-standing records were shattered in Hagerstown. Notably, the all-time March high temperature (formerly 88 degrees) was broken on March 30th when the mercury topped out at 89. The record had stood since 1907. The dry and breezy conditions aided several small brush fires, including three in eastern Anne Arundel Co (MDZ014) on the 28th through the 30th. One fire consumed 4 acres; the others burned less than 2 acres each. |
