WARM!
* What a Spring-like afternoon...A quick look at the 1:00 pm temperature observations around the Southeast...Meridian 70
Jackson 72
Hattiesburg 72
Biloxi 70
Tuscaloosa 71
Monroe, LA 72
* Nothing Spring-like about the weather in Minnesota today. An advancing Arctic airmass is roaring through the northern Plains, and temperatures in northern Minnesota are plummeting. Here are some 1:00 pm temperatures:
Thief River Falls -2 (wind chill -19F)
Roseau 1
Warroad 1
Fosston 1
Flag Island -2 (wind chill -22F)
* This cold air will arrive here eventually, but it will moderate quite a bit by the time it arrives here. With the higher February sun angle and the lack of snow cover, the magnitude of the cold air here will be limited.
* However, this advancing airmass will play a big role in our forecast. The Arctic front will stall along the Highway 84 corridor. The high temperature forecast for Friday and Saturday will be a nightmare. It's conceivable that Philadelphia could be in the lower 40's while Hattiesburg and Waynesboro are in the upper 60's!
* Areas north of here will have to deal with some serious ice problems. Places like Little Rock, Memphis and Nashville will see periods of freezing rain and sleet. This could impact travel in a big way, so if your weekend plans take you anywhere along the I-40 corridor, you may want to check ahead!
