Springlike warmth and sunshine continue, but not for all of NJ
The Bottom Line
Wow! I can t believe how warm temperatures soared on Tuesday! Widespread 60s! New Jersey s first 70s of 2021! (At Manninton Twp, Mansfield, and West Depford)
The next three days also look splendidly springlike and generally pleasant. However, thanks to a pesky on-shore breeze, temperatures will step backwards a bit Wednesday. Especially along the Jersey Shore. And we do have to talk about some raindrops coming up on Friday too.

The most important factor in the forecast here is a wind shift, from northwesterly to southeasterly. (Remember: we report the direction the wind blows
Kennewick Seeks Feedback on Proposed Horse Heaven Hills Wind Farm

Scout Clean Energy is hoping to get a green light in their quest to erect about 250 wind turbines and a solar component to go with it about four miles south of the Tri-Cities that basically extends from the Columbia River to just south of Benton City along the Horse Heaven Hills.

Listen: This is the sound of wind from Mars
‘Things are sounding really good here’
NASA rover catches sound of wind on Mars By CNN staff | March 10, 2021 at 1:25 PM CST - Updated March 10 at 3:12 PM
(CNN) – NASA’s Perseverance rover is sending back wind sounds from Mars.
“Things are sounding really good here,” the rover’s Twitter account said. “Listen to the first sounds of wind captured by my SuperCam microphone. This mic is located at the top of my mast. For this recording, my mast was still down so the sound is a bit muffled.”
Perseverance is roaming Mars, searching for signs of ancient life.

From the suffocating heat of Death Valley to the bone-chilling cold of Antarctica, scientists at the University of Nevada, Reno are leading the way in new, more precise methods of collecting important temperature data from around the world.
“It’s not just a thermometer anymore, we can take the temperature of air, soil, or water at the same instant every 15 seconds, 24 hours a day, every 3 feet for many kilometers,” Scott Tyler, a University of Nevada, Reno professor, hydrologist and director of their national hydrological measurement facility, said. Tyler and his colleagues have adapted distributed temperature sensing methods using lasers and fiber-optic cable for scientific purposes.
