Good evening, folks. We have a wild weather ride on the way for the next few days. Record high temps will give way to a 40 degree temp drop and some snow flurries from Friday into Saturday. The transition is likely to spawn a line of strong to severe thunderstorms by Friday evening.

I have no changes on the overall forecast. Record highs from 75-80 will be with us Friday afternoon on a gusty southwesterly wind.

As the cold front moves in during the evening, a squall line of strong to severe thunderstorms develops and races eastward. Damaging winds and isolated tornadoes are possible.

Here’s the latest from the Storm Prediction Center…

Temps on Saturday drop into the 30s with a few snow flurries possible. Gusty winds make it feel colder than that.

Seasonal weather moves in for Sunday, with some showers possible on Monday. This is ahead of another surge of 65-70 degree air coming in for Tuesday and Wednesday. We could be looking at another severe weather threat as a powerful cold front works in…

This pattern will then unleash a series of cold shots across much of the country. As a matter of fact, March is looking pretty cold on the medium range models. Clipper snow threats are even showing up into the first week of the month…

It would be terribly ironic if we have spring all the way up until March, then get smacked around by Old Man Winter. Guess what? It’s happened many times before.

Enjoy the evening and take care.
