## Resource

It’s officially the spring equinox, and the atmosphere is already delivering a little bit of everything. This week, meteorologists Emily Gracey and Kerrin Jeromin break down a round of spring-like severe weather... some of which underperformed expectations. Out west, it’s a completely different story, with record heat taking center stage and Kerrin walking through just how many records were shattered. Meanwhile, other parts of the country are still dealing with winter’s grip, including blizzard conditions in some areas. And then there’s what happened in the sky- Emily explains what NASA says caused the bright fireball spotted over Ohio on St. Patrick’s Day. It’s a true mix of seasons across the U.S., with a brief look ahead at the potential return of El Niño and what it could mean for the months ahead.
