A Raw St. Patrick's Day
Well, there went my bracket. Bama ran into a buzzsaw today in Cleveland, and was beaten by UW-Milwaukee in the first round. I had them going to the Sweet 16. I guess that is my cue to stick to forecasting weather and leave sports to Lindsey and Jamie. But, still a great time of year. Go State! Now, on to the weather:If you wore green today, I hope you wore something thick and green! Temperatures held in the middle 40's for much of the day, with clouds hanging tough.
The clouds are on the way out right now. Temperatures tonight will be pretty cold, with lows in the 30's. We might see some frost, especially along Highway 15 north of I-20 -- places like Decatur, Union, and Philadelphia. They will see the clouds clear first, so temperatures there will fall quickly due to radiational cooling.
The weekend forecast is a difficult one. We'll see partly cloudy skies on Saturday. A storm system will track across the northern Plains and drag a front through here. Moisture will be limited, and dynamics will be weak. So, I get the idea that many of us will stay dry Saturday. But, I cannot rule out a scattered shower or storm across northern parts of our area Saturday. Most of us will stay dry.
By late Sunday, we'll see a developing area of low pressure in the Plains. This low pressure will swing northeast and likely bring a round of showers and storms through here. Timing this is rather difficult, but our latest thinking is that the best chance of rain will come Monday into Tuesday. There could be some storms involved, we'll have to keep an eye on that...

I was reading the part about the new warning system that the national weather service is testing, Now when they are through testing it and they start to use it will we have to get a new weather radio so that it can know the new type of warnings or will it look and do like the way the radio receives the warnings now?
Hey David,
Honestly, I don't know. They may be able to modify weather radios to adapt to polygon warnings, especially if you are using a radio with S.A.M.E. programmable technology.
I'll email the National Weather Service with your question and try to get a better answer for you.

I have a S.A.M.E. radio that you can program different parts of a county...or the entire county...but do not know if the weather service is sending codes for this or not.
Thank-You.
