Today, we warmed up nicely into the middle 70s. Tomorrow, with more of a southerly wind, will be even warmer with temperatures in the upper 70s. A few of you across Clay, Quitman, Randolph, Barbour, and Pike counties may touch 80.
During the day tomorrow, we will watch a low pressure system move out of the Rockies and intensify over central Oklahoma. This will provide ANOTHER severe weather threat for most of Arkansas and western portions of Tennessee and Kentucky. This low pressure system will track to the northeast through Ohio and into Pennsylvania. Most of the energy will move to the north, but there will be a line of showers and maybe a few thunderstorms that will move through West Central Georgia and East Central Alabama Monday afternoon. We are not anticipating a wide spread severe event, but with the daytime heating during the afternoon on Monday that COULD provide enough instability for a few of these thunderstorms to become severe. We will pick up about a half an inch of rain, which will give us a total of over 4 inches for the month of February.
The beginning of March will see a slight cool down after the front moves. Temperatures for the middle part of the work week will be up near 70. We will stay dry through next Friday. Next weekend, we will track another low pressure system. This time the low will take a more southerly track. This means a more widespread rainfall event for much of Alabama and Georgia. This can certainly change as we are a week out. The trend for these systems has been for the low to take a track more to our north and west. We will have to see if this holds true for next weekends system.
