Good Sunday, everyone. March is off and running with a wintry mix and light rain across our part of the world. This is a sign of things to come for the week ahead as we have a little of everything on the way. This is all courtesy of a wild temperature ride on the way for the first week of March.

Our morning wintry mix and snow may cause some travel issues across the northern parts of the state. That’s where temps will struggle to get into the low and mid 30s today. Areas across the south and west will hit the 40s with a few showers around.

Those numbers will come down for Monday as a cold front swings through here. Here are the highs…

That could be accompanied by some early day snowflakes.

The next storm system cranks up to our west later Tuesday and that brings us a better chance for showers and some thunder. The models continue to come in with lower rainfall numbers, but some local high water issues would be possible late Tuesday into early Wednesday.

That’s also the period we are likely to see a nice temp spike and an even bigger temperature crash. Check this out…

High temps behind that system by Thursday are super cold for early March…
