A Transition To Much Colder Air Ahead
We’re heading into a transition period as a strong cold front heads our way. Gusty northwest winds will begin transporting cold air into the deep south.  The coldest air so far this fall will arrive over the weekend. It’s time to prepare those tender plants for a frost/freeze event.
In the meantime, we’re expecting a mostly clear sky with temps only dropping into the lower to mid 50s Thursday morning. Looks like mostly sunny and breezy day with winds northwesterly at 8-16 mph. Temps will still try to reach the 70 degree mark before the temps begin to fall Thursday afternoon. The colder air will spill into the state Thursday night into Friday. Our temps are down into the lower 40s Friday morning. Another surge of colder air flows into the state Friday afternoon and this will be the coldest so far this fall.
The upcoming weekend is going to feel a little bit like winter around here. Temps will take a plunge and we’re expecting lower to mid 30s for lows both Saturday and Sunday morning. That puts us in a frost/freeze zone areawide. There will be lots of sunshine overhead but temps will struggle to reach the 60 degree mark both days. It may be time to dig in the closet for those sweaters and jackets!
