Back Again In the Saddle. Rain for the Overnight and Early Day Friday Period. Clearing Out for the Weekend with Cooler Temperatures and then Gradually Warm Up.

After much patience on getting a new monitor, I am back once more to update again.  I apologize for not putting out something for the previous severe weather threat, as that was around the time that I had officially lost both of my CRT monitors.  The new one is a Samsung SyncMaster 710N flatscreen.  MUCH easier to handle with more room available.  No wonder no one seems to manufacture CRTs anymore...

Rain will push through our region for the overnight and throughout the early portion of Friday.  I suspect that everyone clears out by the afternoon and/or early evening with cooler temperatures; likely earlier the further west you live from the cold front.  Highs backing down a good bit into the 50s and low 60s for eastern folks on Saturday but again areas further west will have already felt the effects of the passing cold front by then so they should warm up back into the 60s on the same day before places further east do. From there, it looks to remain warm and dry our eastern friends until the next system moves in, which will bring a chance of some fashion for showers and thunderstorms in places such as Nashville, TN and Birmingham, AL for early next week.  The precipitation may gradually dry out as it progresses further east to where it's just mostly cloudy skies or possibly even more sun but for now will go with partly-mostly cloudy skies with a slight chance of showers across areas for the Carolinas and parts of GA throughout the first half of next week.

Modeling indicating that highs could once again attempt to soar into the mid-upper 70s to around 80 across the Southeast later next week so we'll see if that comes to pass.  To be honest, it kind of scares me to see us already warming up so much in March, but of course if you recall from 2010, some places saw mid-upper 80s to around 90 for highs during early April so it's not impossible but definitely above average for that time of year.  I won't go into detail regarding what Summer could hold just yet but hopefully this is not a precursor to how hot it may be for the next season.  Until then, I'm glad to be back once again and hopefully this new monitor won't burn out or have any other issues before then. You all (including myself) can thank my 8th grade math teacher from middle school for making this possible.  He just happened to have a spare one lying around and decided to just give it away.  Just goes to show that there are still plenty of kind folks out there in this day and age.

Have a great weekend and I will update if any big changes arise for next week.
