Crazy Place We Call Home

Highs around the area were in the mid 40s today…. Why would I start off by saying that?  High temps occurred in the early morning hours when most of us were asleep!  Temperatures dropped off into the mid-to-upper 30s by lunchtime, and shortly after dark, we were below the freezing mark!  Add in wind gusts over 20 mph throughout the day, and it felt quite cool out there! 

We did manage to get some nice glimpses of sunshine today as clouds broke apart this afternoon.  Wednesday looks to follow that path as skies will be mostly clear; however, temperatures will only warm back to the lower 40s–upper thirties for more northern counties.  And I do not foresee the gusty conditions we had today!   

Clouds will begin to paint our skies  Wednesday night and stick with us Thursday and Friday.  I’ll go ahead and mention that overnight lows for that period will be in the mid to upper 20s.  Thursday highs  will again be in the lower 40s.

Heading from late Thursday night into Friday morning and afternoon is where things get interesting.  I hate to be ambiguous with this, but models are in some disagreement now with the chances of snow for Friday morning.   A low pressure system tracking along the Gulf will be proving moisture for snow…the question remains how far northit will get.   Whatever the case may be, we’ll be cloudy and cool.  High temps for the day will only be in the mid to upper 30s.  Stay tuned at WeatherWill for snow updates!

For those longing for clear skies and warmer temperatures, Saturday should bring plentiful sunshine and temperatures flirting with the 50 degree mark!  (Okay, so it’s not tropical, but we’ll take what we can get.)
