Nice & Mild Friday - Southern Storm This Weekend - March Outlook

Good evening! Hope everyone is having a great week. Sorry about my lack of posts! I will try to update the blog daily again. Anyway, today actually turned out to be a not so bad day! The rain moved out, and we saw some peeks of late day sun, to go along with mild temperatures.

Friday is looking like a spectacular day! Sunny skies and highs nearing 50. I know it has been a while since we have had sunny and dry conditions, so get out and enjoy it.

There is a system many forecasters across the Ohio Valley and eastern U.S. are keeping a very close eye on for the weekend. There will be a strong storm to affect areas just south of Indiana, which could throw accumulating snows to parts of Kentucky. Parts of southern and eastern Kentucky could see a  *potential* winter storm Saturday night into Sunday, with just enough dynamics to create snow. The GFS continues to show snow Sunday morning just south of the Ohio River:



















If that were to trend northward, I will let you know. I just want to give you a heads up, in case you had any travel plans this weekend south of Indiana. Anyway, IF the GFS were to verify, Kentucky would have a significant snowfall:



Our friends and snow-lovers in Kentucky may finally get their wish. I'm STILL waiting for a big snow to hit the Hoosier state! Time is running out, as spring is about 1 month away now, and still no big snow yet. What NOT a winter! :)

Looking ahead to next week, mild temperatures will return, as a very active pattern takes hold.

FYI: The March Outlook came in, the CPC is calling for way above-normal temps along with wetter-than-normal conditions. This could very well mean a early spring this year. I'm not saying we can't get any more snow, but the chances are going down as spring is getting closer!

Hard to believe that spring is right around the corner. Thanks for stopping by the blog! More updates tomorrow. Have a great night.
