TODAY: Abundant sunshine. Highs in the upper-50s with a calm wind. It will feel cooler in the shade, but that sun will help warm you up.

TONIGHT: Cold! Mostly clear skies with lows near freezing. Thankfully, winds will be calm so wind-chill is not a factor.

SUNDAY: Mostly sunny skies during the morning, then increasing clouds later in the afternoon. Highs in the mid-60s. Increasing southerly breeze, 5-10 mph.

Severe Tues

EXTENDED FORECAST: A warm front will lift northward through the region on Monday, which will allow warmer temperatures and plenty of Gulf moisture to surge into the area. Off-and-on scattered showers and thunderstorms are likely on Monday, lasting most of the day. Rain may be heavy at times. We’ll see a lull in precipitation on Monday night, but more showers and storms will move through the region on Tuesday. The Storm Prediction Center has outlined the entire viewing area in a “slight risk” (level 2 out of 5) for severe weather on Tuesday (as seen above). The main concern will be thunderstorms capable of producing damaging winds. We’ll continue to fine-tune the details this weekend. For now, just something to be aware of. Other than that, the main headline will be beneficial rainfall. Locations north of US-82 are likely to see the highest rainfall totals, ranging from 2-4+ inches between Monday and Thursday! Regardless, everyone will see decent rainfall next week.
