March Weather Forecast: Warmer and Wetter Trends for Northeast and Midwest
March in the D.C. area is expected to be considerably warmer and wetter than normal, with temperatures projected to be 3 to 5 degrees above the average and above-normal rainfall of 4 to 6 inches. The first half of the month is forecasted to be warm and wet, with the possibility of receiving almost half of the predicted March rainfall during the first week. However, by mid-March, a shift towards cooler temperatures and less precipitation is anticipated due to atmospheric patterns that may support the change. The year has started with temperatures running considerably warmer than normal, but not as warm as last year at this time.
