Good Friday, folks. It’s another soaker of a day taking shape as we continue to watch the potential for local high water issues across the south and southeast. The rain rolls into Saturday, but looks to change to snow before the day is finished. Does this mean we are locking into a winter pattern? Not so fast, my friend.

Let’s begin with today and roll it forward. Temps will be in the 50s as rounds of rain continue. Many areas are already over an inch of rain and another inch or two will fall through tonight across the far south and southeast. If you live in a low-lying or flood prone area, keep a close eye on water levels.

I’ll have all your tracking toys in a bit.

Rain will be with us early on Saturday, but cold air crashes in behind the departing storm system and changes the rain to wet snow…

Some light accumulations will be possible on grassy and elevated surfaces.

Another system will follow that up from Monday night through Tuesday night. The track of this system will be the determining factor on rain or snow where you live…

The dominant pattern through the middle of January is a trough in the west and a ridge in the eastern part of the country. Throw in an active storm track and precipitation is likely well above normal around here…

Given our wet ground and swollen waterways, additional high water issues may develop.

I will have updates later in the day, so y’all come back. Until then, here are your tracking toys for the day…

Have a great Friday and take care.
