Good Sunday, everyone. Here’s hoping this update finds each of you living your best life. If you’re not living it… What are you waiting on? 😁 Our weather life is a little better out there today as some rays of sun show up. This still doesn’t look like a fully sunny day, but we will take what we can get. Once into the new week, we have some big changes taking place in the overall pattern across the country.

Let’s begin this with what’s happening out there today. Highs range from the upper 30s to middle 40s with clouds and some sun doing a little tango in the sky.

While we are enjoying some better stuff, a major snowstorm is kicking into high gear across the Lone Star state of Texas. Double digit snows will show up there and maybe into Louisiana as the storm moves east later today. Our exclusive interactive radar is fired up and ready to track this storm and may even show live cams from storm chasers…

This will shut down areas from Texas and Louisiana into Mississippi through tonight and early Monday. This system rolls to the northeast, but looks to weaken as it does so. It’s still likely to be just strong enough to bring a period of light snow with it, especially across areas of central and eastern Kentucky…

Some very light accumulations will be possible, but this doesn’t look First Call worthy at the moment.

The pattern from here is one that we start to watch what’s happening to our northwest. A weak front may show up around mid-week, but the stronger front arrives by late Thursday into Friday. That has a nice push of typical cold air with it and may produce a period of light snow or unleash some northwest flow type snows into the weekend…

The potential for a bigger system looks to show up after that into the following week.

Looking WAY down the weather road toward spring, the new CFS model shows below normal temps lingering through April. Here are the temp departures from February-April…

It also shows well above normal precipitation for those same three months…

That look probably isn’t very conducive for a lot of severe weather around here in the spring and that’s been the theme of the past several years. We’ve been in one of the biggest severe weather droughts I’ve ever seen around here, but my gut says that changes this spring. Several of the analog years had an active spring severe weather season around here.

I will have your normal updates later today, so check back. Have a good one and take care.
