Beautiful Weather for the Week With Yet Another Big Cooldown During Mid-Week. Then Warming Up Again

Not much to really say for this week considering the dry look across the Southeast for much of this week.  Highs look to get from the upper 60s to low-mid 70s for today and tomorrow.  By the middle of this week, however, another blast of strong cool air will push into the region and that will drop the temperatures down quite a bit compared to what we have been seeing.  Some locations across TN and NC on Wednesday may only get to the low 60s for highs with lows backing off into the mid-upper 30s, and that looks to be the case also for lows on Thursday morning.  This also means folks across the mountains will be dipping to freezing again with gusty winds as the cold front transitions southeast and departs from the region so it will feel chilly up that way.  Eventually we will warm back up as another ridge builds in and highs return into the 70s and 80s for the rest of this week.  Other than the slight chance of showers and storms for locations further west, mostly everyone should remain dry as it stands now.

Take care and have a good day.  Hope your Easter celebration went well.

A New Month with Significant Warmth in the Works for Early Week. More Shower/Storm Chances Through the Week and Then a Cool Down Toward the Weekend.

After having a few storms erupt with a bit of an attitude in some locations across the Southeast, things are finally beginning to quiet down for tonight.  We should return to drier conditions for at least today and on Monday.  Highs on those days could push into the upper 80s to around 90, which will be a first for some this year.  I suspect if temperatures do warm to such, we could be having it flirt with or reach the 90 degree mark and possibly tie or break records.  Definitely not early April-like weather.

Later in the week, shower and storm chances should increase some so that will be returning into the picture but temperatures will not be as warm so its more like what we have been experiencing (70s to around the mid 80s). There is indication that by Friday, cooler air will filter into the region and some places will see temperatures back off some, especially for some locations across the Carolinas where highs may only get into the upper 60s to low 70s, which would fit a more Spring-like feeling instead of Summer.  Of course, that will already have affected places further west toward spots like Jackson, MS by mid-week with only the mid-upper 70s for them.  

Lovely Weather Through the Week. Isolated Chance for Showers and Storms Midweek with Better Chances for the Weekend.

Quite a cool-like day compared to the massive warmth we have been experiencing.  Locations across those who were affected by the dry canadian high providing the cooler air, mainly the NC folks, experienced temperatures only getting into the 60s instead of the 70s and 80s that have been a part of our weather for some time.  Tonight the lows will drop down into the 40s and back up into the 70s to around 80 tomorrow in those same areas as the warmer air will push in from the west while the rest of the Southeast will continue to experience the ever-persistent warmth.

A weak cold front will slide south with time and bring a chance of showers and a few thunderstorms up in the Appalachians and TN for tomorrow but only expect isolated at best east of there for Wednesday night through early Thursday.  We remain dry for the most part across the Southeast until the weekend with another system that holds a little more promise for rain and some storms as well for the weekend.        

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.

Increased Chance for Showers and Storms Tomorrow. Big Warmth Still on the Way with Another Shower/Thunderstorm Potential for the Weekend

Today is only the beginning of what will be really considered a warm pattern as highs will be in the 60s and 70s with clouds and showers on the increase.  A few thunderstorms may occur in spots later today but I expect an increased chance of some sort for tomorrow for the folks further east so it's moreso than my previous thinking, which makes this look like a 30-40 percent kind of deal now.  The showers and storms should eventually pull out for later tomorrow and allow for things to clear during the nighttime hours.

After that system departs, highs still look like they will soar well into the 70s but now it looks like low 80s could be in store for more locations on Wednesday.  This warmth will last for the rest of this week afterwards and at least into early next week with another chance of showers and storms over the upcoming weekend.  Spring is definitely making its appearance as if it already hasn't done so but now I'm beginning to wonder if Summer is trying to move into our region for an early visit...

Have a good day.
