Good Saturday, folks. We continue to track a weak system grazing the state later tonight, but the focus is on much better weather setting up shop Sunday. This kicks off a much milder setup for the first week of the new month ahead, but there are signs of March being March right after that.

Today finds quite a bit of clouds across the region, but some rays of sun will be noted. Highs are generally in the 40s.

That fast-moving system rolls eastward through the Tennessee Valley tonight and Sunday morning. This gets close enough for some light rain and light snow across the far south and southeast…

Here are your radars to follow the action in from the southwest…

Things turn much better on Sunday as highs reach the upper 40s to low 50s with partly to mostly sunny skies.

Temps make a run at 60 for day one of the new month as March comes in like a lamb. Temps continue to slowly climb and should make a run at 70 before the week is over. That mild air will be ahead of what may be a potent plains storm system…

Showers and thunderstorms would rumble through in a setup like that.

The second week of March is likely to turn much more active as colder air tries to press back in here. That’s likely to lead to much above normal precipitation once again. The EURO Ensembles are showing this well for week two of the month…

The latest EURO Weeklies suggest a very active 32 day period ending on April 8th…

The temp departure on the for the EURO Weeklies show the potential for another colder than normal spring. Check out the below normal temps it’s forecasting through the middle of April…

Ugh.

I will have another update later today, so check back. Make it a good one and take care.
