Same Old Song Throughout the Week. First Official Day of Spring is Here.

I don't expect much change throughout the week across the Southeast as we should remain quite warm with a chance for showers and thunderstorms throughout the week each day.  For areas further west in the region, those chances increase some so places across AL and MS for example stand a better chance for such activity.  Highs will continue to remain generally in the 70s and 80s for the rest of this week.  Just keep an eye on the sky (and radar) each day if you plan to head out.  The pattern represents that of what we typically see during summer afternoons and evenings so this is quite unusual to jump into such so early and during March of all months on top of that.  Might as well be calling today the first day of LATE Spring with this kind of behavior featured in the pattern.  Almost makes me dread Summer but of course as everyone should know, what happens in Spring doesn't necessarily translate into how it is toward Summer (e.g. a warm Spring that becomes a cool Summer).  We'll see once we get into April and May but here's to rooting for a less brutal Summer in the distance future.  Would hate to see a repeat of consistent 90 degree heat rear its ugly head  with little to no relief.
