Good Morning! This remarkably warm first week of March continues. Yesterday, Montgomery tied a 146 year record. 85 degrees tied the 1880 record. Record highs were tied around the state. We’ll flirt with more records, again, today and tomorrow. Scattered showers and storms will pop up this afternoon and into the evening. Another round of showers and storms could pop up Saturday afternoon -becoming more likely Saturday night into Sunday. Some storms could be strong/severe. There could be another storm system that bears watching late next week. Here’s my brief video forecast discussion.
TODAY: DENSE FOG ADVISORY UNTIL 9am. Partly sunny. High 84. (Record 86/2022) Scattered showers and storms possible this afternoon and into this evening. Low tonight 62.
(Normal 69/45)
.
NEXT FEW DAYS: Our very warm pattern is continues. Highs each of the next several days will be 80 or above. Mid 70’s Sunday due to clouds and showers. Very mild nights. Lows in the lower 60’s. The risk of scattered showers and thunderstorms will be around each day Friday through at least Monday. Some strong/severe storms possible Saturday night & Sunday.
Expected rainfall through Tuesday.
Severe weather threat in the middle of the country continues to grow and spread eastward today and tomorrow. Including the risk of tornadoes, especially today in the middle of the nation.
FOR US: The Level 1 Severe Threat continues until 7AM CDT Sunday AM. The Marginal risk extends as far southeast as Montgomery.
I’m also watching a late week storm system around Thursday perhaps. (The GFS is slower) Severe Weather Potential? I would not be surprised.
.
The 10 Day model Blend Temperature Trend. Highs in the 80’s through Tuesday. (except Sunday)
