Chance to Dry Out?
After the latest in a series of soakers, we could use some dry weather. We’ll get it – but for only a few days. The overall pattern is one that tends toward storminess in the Southeast states as the southern branch of the jet stream remains vigorous. This medium range setup looks especially interesting, though, as there will be cold air masses involved. Combine the two, and the threat of winter weather in the South is certainly on the table over the next week or two.
Super Bowl weekend will start out cloudy and blustery, but dry. Drier air will move in for Sunday and should be able to break the persistent low stratus clouds that will hang over most of Georgia and Alabama on Saturday. By Monday, clouds will already start moving back in, setting us up for another rain system Tuesday, most likely on a smaller scale and with less impact than the last one. As that system leaves, there are indications we may get a taste of arctic air for a few days – nothing like early January but enough to keep our temperatures below normal. And there’s no big warmup anywhere in sight right now for the nation east of the Plains.
Weather for the Super Bowl: Fair skies with temperatures in the 60s and no threat of rain in Miami. Great for football!
