Saturday Night Update

Just got 6 boxes of crawfish in the studio from the Jimmie Rodgers Festival. All of WTOK smells like a fishery now, but it sure is some good stuff! Not really the stuff to be eating in a suit and tie, but neither was the ribs that I had for dinner tonight, courtesy of our chief meteorologist, Mr. Josh Johnson, or as some call him, Wolfgang Johnson for his culinary expertise.

On to weather...

Not really a lot going on in the weather department for once, and I am very thankful! Low pressure that brought our last batch of thunderstorms through here yesterday is well up the Atlantic coast tonight, and we are seeing calm conditions behind it as high pressure builds in.

It was a very windy day today.. Had a gust at 31 mph at Key Field. With the strengthening low moving up the East Coast, and the high pressure behind it, a pressure gradient set up, and that brought the gusty winds around the Deep South today.

Tomorrow promises to be a picture perfect spring day. Look for highs in the 70s and not a cloud in the sky. A great day to get out and go to Arts in the Park! Josh and I will both be there tomorrow afternoon, so if you are there, be sure you come up and say hello!

Our weather remains nice for the next few days, and some locations could see 80 degrees by Tuesday. Our next chance of rain comes sometime Wednesday in the form of a cold front bringing some showers and storms in our area. Still to early to see about the severe weather threat with this system, but given the behavior of the last few, it is certainly possible, so we will be here to keep our eye on it. Still a bit of disagreement from the models about when the rain arrives, and my gut tells me they might hold the bulk of the rain off until after midnight on Wednesday.

After that, next weekend looks dry and seasonable. Enjoy the warm weather, and enjoy the nice weekend!
