Get ready for another cold night tonight.  We are headed for the 20’s again.  The best news we have involves a pretty decent weekend forecast.  It won’t be nearly as warm as last weekend’s pre-spring treat.  Instead of mid and upper 60’s, we should see highs in the mid and upper 50’s and it appears [...]

Late winter/early spring can be one of the most active times of the year in the Southeast, and after a fairly quiet week things are really starting to pick up again.
The low overcast across the valley Tuesday morning has been tough to break, but finally the sun was able to dissipate much of the cloud [...]

Between the rain, the cold, and the snow we haven’t had much good weather on the weekends since 2010 began.  That’s about to change, with milder temperatures and a decent amount of sunshine expected on Saturday.  This will be the first weekend we’ve had in quite some time with daytime temperatures in the 60s and no [...]

We’re on a run of 4 straight days of sunshine (well, 3½ - since it did rain early Monday before clearing up) and now we’re starting to see temperatures respond to the sunshine.  We have one more night of cold, sub-freezing temperatures, but even though it’s been chilly of late there’s a lack of arctic air [...]

At last our weather has gotten into a bit of a lull compared to the very active patterns we’ve been seeing most of the winter.  As it stands now we’re likely to get through the rest of this week with no rain, possibly all the way through next weekend.
Temperatures will still be cold in the [...]

Between the frequent rain episodes and lately the snow, we haven’t had a lot in the way of dry, sunny weather this winter going all the way back to the beginning of December.  We need a break from the wet conditions, and it looks like that’s exactly what we have coming.  This entire week will [...]
