Good evening, folks. I wanted to drop by for a very quick update to the busy weather pattern we continue to be in. It’s a pattern loaded with another big storm for the upcoming week.

In the short-term… Wow. How about this turn around from the record warm winter day to actual winter… In less than 24 hours. A few flurries will continue to fly into the evening with 20s later tonight.

Sunday looks good with upper 40s to mid 50s across the region.

Monday will find a shower maker working in as mild air surges back from the southwest. Highs can make a run at 60 with a late day rumble of thunder.

This is ahead of a bigger storm developing in the plains and working toward the Ohio Valley Tuesday into Wednesday. This one has a severe weather look to it…

March will roar in like a lion on Wednesday,

Much colder air comes in behind that with some snow showers and flurries on Thursday. That northwesterly flow continues with a clipper diving in for Friday…

GFS 2

That may have a swath of light snow and flurries with it.

As that pulls away, temps should recover quickly ahead of another plunge of cold air late next weekend into early the following week.

The GFS continues showing some pretty stout cold shots over the next few weeks…

I’m beginning to become very intrigued by the upcoming spring severe weather season. The Gulf of Mexico water temps are among the warmest ever recorded heading into spring. I’ve seen some studies showing that warm water being a catalyst to an active severe weather season.

Have a great evening and take care.
