Early this morning, at approximately 12:48 a.m. Central time, the official start of Spring was underway! That's the moment when the sun is lined up exactly over the Earth's equator.
In the Northern Hemisphere, Spring begins on March 20th and includes the months of: March, April, May and part of June. This is when the axis of the Earth, just like during the summer months, is tilted towards the sun, and we have longer days. On a daily basis, we'll see a few extra minutes of daylight. Sunset today is at 6:59pm and tomorrow it will be at 7:00pm.
Temperatures will also begin to warm up, causing flowering plants to start blooming again. Pear trees and dogwoods are already blooming across the state. That's just in time for Easter this coming Sunday!
It's going to be a beautiful the next couple of days with mostly sunny skies and temperatures in the upper 60's to lower 70's. Enjoy the first few days of Spring!
