sweetapricity/bridgedeck-noaa huggingface dataset:
A large upper level storm system slowly moved into the southern Plains, with widespread showers and thunderstorms developing around its periphery during the morning hours. Some sunshine was observed over parts of central and western Oklahoma during the morning and early afternoon hours, but the recent rainfall combined with very cold temperatures aloft allowed for additional showers and thunderstorms to develop and rotate around the storm system. Some of the thunderstorms were strong to marginally severe, with hail sizes mostly ranging from penny to nickel size. Also, numerous funnel clouds were reported, with most extending about a quarter of the way below cloud base before lifting back into the cloud. The precipitation diminished in coverage and intensity with the loss of daytime heating, with lighter showers persisting into the night.

A nearly seventy millibar surface pressure difference between an intense low pressure system moving through the Canadian Maritimes (it bottomed at 963 millibars at 1 p.m. EST on the 25th in the Gulf of Saint Lawrence) and a high pressure system in the Central Plains produced nearly twenty-four hours of strong winds across the Maryland Eastern Shore from the late evening on the 24th through the early evening on the  25th. The strong winds downed weak trees, tree limbs and power lines and caused scattered outages.  About 3,000 homes and businesses lost power, most of them in the southern part of the Eastern Shore.

A mature late winter cyclone off the Northwest Pacific coast generated heavy snowfall across the northern areas of eastern Washington, from the east slopes of the northern Cascades over to the northeast mountains of Washington.  Snow began in the Cascades and the Okanogan Valley on the morning of March 12th as strong low level easterly upslope flow enhanced lift across the area.  The warm front continued to the east with snow falling down to valley floors across northeast Washington.  Strong low level warm air advection through the afternoon and early evening resulted in snow transitioning to rain or non-accumulating snowfall in the valleys by the late evening hours.  The event concluded with the passage of a cold occluded front during the morning hours of the 13th with additional snowfall across the mountains and far northern valleys.
