Gorgeous Weekend Coming Up. Next Chance of Rain for Next Week

It appears the clouds hanged tough around here for today and kept us from getting into the upper 50s as expected, so conditions have been rather cool-ish and breezy throughout the day after getting off to a frosty start.  Tonight we will most likely drop into the low-mid 30s again before quickly warming up for tomorrow where highs could reach into the 70s for spots and especially on Sunday!  Beautiful stuff.

Our next chance of rain looks to be during early next week.  Another system will move through the Southeast bringing rain once more.  The GGEM and Euro are similar in the setup but the GGEM is more aggressive (as it was with our last event).  There is indication that this could be a cold rain in store for places like NC and TN as high pressure will build into the northeast and bring down cold air that will cause a wedge to be in store.  Right now for the Appalachians, it's not a certainty just yet, but this could yield another round of snow for those areas that were affected with the previous event at the highest elevations...that is, if the air is colder than what's advertised on the modeling.  It's not all that surprising to see them receive more snow during March, despite the warm-ups we have been witnessing recently.  Nonetheless, the chance is there and so if you have plans to go up there next week, just keep in mind that it could (keyword could) be snow flying at the high elevations.

Well that about sums it up for today.  Plan to ride a bike, jog, take a walk in the park, perhaps even work on something outdoors for the weekend?  Take the chance to do so because after all of the rain and storminess that has occurred here recently, it is about time that we got a break for worrying about getting caught off guard by Ma Nature.  Have a good weekend everyone!
