The spring equinox, marking the official start of the spring season, occurred at 11:06 p.m. Eastern Time on Tuesday, with the sun's rays directly over the equator. This event heralds nearly equal amounts of day and night globally, leading to longer days and warmer weather in the Northern Hemisphere and the onset of autumn in the Southern Hemisphere. In the Bay Area, the transition from winter to spring features warm weather, with inland temperatures reaching the 70s under sunny skies, as reported by Meteorologist Tim McGill. However, a cooldown and showers are anticipated by the weekend. The Spire weather model anomaly map indicates freeze warnings across the South and below-average temperatures in the eastern two-thirds of the US, despite the equinox's promise of renewal and growth.
Today’s the spring equinox. Here’s why that doesn’t tell the full story for the Bay Area: https://t.co/1d9K9gtQgb

Time to venture out!

March 1st was the first day of Spring for weather/climate. Today isn't even the 1st day of astronomical Spring because it's not until 11:06 pm ET. Honestly, if you want to go by the equinox, tomorrow is the first day of "Spring" not the 54 mins tonight.
