Although it may not seem like it with this week’s forecasts, astronomical spring arrived today, along with National Weather Service (NWS) seasonal safety concerns.
Meteorologists recognize March 1 as the first day of spring, based on seasonal calendar quarters, although astronomical spring doesn’t arrive until 5:24 Eastern Daylight Time on Monday, March 20, in the Northern Hemisphere and autumn in the Southern Hemisphere.
The National Weather Service publishes a series of guides for focusing on weather safety in various parts of the country at http://bit.ly/3EMyZdK.
