Good Saturday everyone and welcome to the weekend. The past week has been a wild one with two rounds of slushy snow and flooding rains meaning mother nature owes us a nice day. Today looks to be just such a day.

Skies will be mainly sunny today with gusty winds warming our temps up quite well. Many areas will hit the 60 degree mark before all is said and done. This will be the nicest day of the next several as we watch a system working in later Sunday and Monday. This will work across the southern Ohio Valley into the Tennessee Valley leading to some showers… especially across our southern counties.

Temps will come down several degrees on Sunday with Monday looking to be on the chilly side. The chilly air won’t last long as we will likely see a major warm up for the middle and end of next week that may see temps heading toward 70 for a day or two. The GFS Ensembles Temp Anomaly map for next Thursday shows just how widespread the warm air will be…



As someone wanting a big blast of spring… that is a sight for sore eyes. While I would love to say that is the start of “true” spring… I can’t. The last few weeks of the month will see some blocking returning up north and this will try to give us an ugly pattern into early April. The NAO is forecast to tank…



That is never a good sign for those of us hoping for true spring weather. That doesn’t mean we aren’t going to see some mild weather for the end of the month and early April… it just means we will likely see a pattern that can produce some more big rains and occasionally chilly temps with another brush with some flakes a possibility.

Let’s not worry too much about all that and let’s just concentrate on the sensational weather out there today. You are excused from a day of blogging to go outside and play.

Have a great Saturday and take care.
