A Very Cold Night Ahead
A very cold air mass continues to hold firm across the deep south. We will experience some of the coldest air since last winter tonight! The current surge of Arctic air will send temps tumbling into the mid to upper 20s for lows early Wednesday morning. Make sure you check on your neighbors, pets, tender plants, and take care of those exposed pipes. They will need to be wrapped or covered! Fortunately, temps will recover nicely and we’re in the upper 50s to around 60 degrees Wednesday afternoon. Another frontal system will move into the area Thursday. This boundary will bring a round of rain with it. The rain departs early Thursday and then another surge of cold air moves into the region early Friday. We will experience a couple of nights with temps down in the lower to mid 30s Friday and Saturday. We pick up a southerly wind flow over the upcoming weekend. This will cut off the cold air and allow a warming trend to get underway. We could see upper 50s Saturday afternoon and upper 60s by Sunday afternoon. Along with the warmer air comes an increase in moisture and that will lead to more rain activity early next week. We expect a several days of clouds and showers to linger over us. Temps will actually climb a bit and we’re managing upper 60s to lower 70s for highs Monday through the middle of next week.
