Good Morning! Overnight rain will exit the state early.    The last in a series of Gulf Lows will exit east into Florida. Sunshine will make an appearance for the first time in several days.  It will be a breezy and chilly start to this new week.  Tonight will be sub-freezing.  On the horizon, temperatures will be more reasonable by mid-week as highs rebound into the 60’s. (Normal 64/48)  Right now, it’s a dry forecast for the week ahead. Another shot of colder air will enter the state Friday/Friday night and Saturday.  Here’s my brief video forecast discussion.

TODAY:   Partly sunny, with a high near 55. North wind 5 to 10 mph, with gusts as high as 20 mph.  Tonight:  Partly cloudy, with a low around 29.

The final in a series of Gulf Lows will exit east into Florida.

NEXT FEW DAYS: On the horizon, temperatures will be more reasonable by mid-week as highs rebound into the 60’s.  Right now, it’s a dry forecast for the week ahead. Another shot of colder air will enter the state Friday night and Saturday. 

The models are heading for another temperature plunge by Friday Night/Saturday.  But, not all models agree at this point.  Here’s the GFS Ensembles.

So expect a gig mid week warm-up. By the weekend we’ll sample that next Artic Blast, but notice that the Northeast states will see the coldest air. It won’t come DIRECTY for us. We’ll continue to watch.

The expected rainfall map for the next 7 days is certainly a big change from last week.

Thanks for reading this Blog this morning. This morning we are LIVE on the radio from 6 to 9 on NewsTalk 93.1.  I’ll have another update for you in the 4  o’clock hour tomorrow morning.  Have a nice day.
