It is still chilly this morning, but nothing like recent days.  No single digits.  No teens!  We will take it.

I have no significant weather concerns over the coming days.

There could be some patchy fog this morning.  So far, not much has developed.  Hopefully, it stays that way.

The great news is that temperatures will warm a bit today and quite a bit tomorrow and Wednesday.

The warmest day now appears to be Wednesday (ahead of a cold front).  Today and tomorrow will feel pretty good, as well.

Widespread fifties today.  Widespread fifties and a few sixties tomorrow.  Widespread sixties on Wednesday!

.
Let’s look at the Wednesday temperature anomaly map.

This map shows you how many degrees above average temperatures will be.  This is quite a change from a week ago!

.

A few showers and a rumble of thunder will be possible on Wednesday afternoon and evening.  The thunder is a bit more likely over Kentucky and Tennessee.  No severe thunderstorms, thankfully.

See the future-cast radars below the Weather Call information (scroll down).

Let’s look at those precipitation probabilities.

Notice our western counties have lower rain chances vs central and east.

Wednesday, 6 am to 6 pm (mostly pm chances).

Wednesday evening and overnight rain probabilities.  Peak chances will be around 60%.

A quick-moving band of showers.

.
This is not a big precipitation event.

Rainfall totals will be on the light side. Some locations could end up dry.

Here is the latest rainfall forecast for that rain event.

Not much.

You may double-click on the images to enlarge them.

Notice the Poplar Bluff area has trace amounts.  A bit more as you travel farther east.

I am watching a couple of cold shots in March.  After that, we should slide into spring!

There are some crazy maps floating around about the polar vortex returning in March.  Most of the model guidance does not show that.  Yes, they show some cold spurts of weather, but not single digits or below zero.  I will monitor it, of course.

Here is the GEFS temperature anomaly map for March 5th.  It has above-average temperatures.

Those warm colors equal above-average temperatures.

Perhaps a little cooler behind that cold front.

This is the temperature anomaly map for March 6th. Other data shows near-normal to above-normal temperatures during that same time frame.

.

There are several signals for a mild to warm end of March (second half of March).  Active, as well.  Several systems to track during March.

I am watching several precipitation events during the first ten days of March.  Right now, they look wet, not white.

Guidance shows rain showers with a chance of embedded thunderstorms.

It is that time of the year.  Monitor updates.

The GFS model shows rain showers around the 3rd or 4th of March and another system a few days later.
