Pleasant Weekend

* WOW - This is a great example of why it's called March Madness. The Final Four is 75% set:

UCLA
LSU
George Mason
Villanova or Florida (Florida leads 45-38 at the time of this writing)

That's a 2 seed (UCLA), a 4 seed (LSU), an 11 seed (George Mason), and either a 1 or 3 seed. My bracket is done; stick a fork in it! I hope your bracket is faring better than mine.

* Back to weather - what a nice weekend. Hard to find any clouds around here, but we did see some cold temperatures this morning. Meridian's Key Field hit 30 degrees, so I feel sure that many outlying areas probably saw upper 20's for at least a few hours.

* For the rest of this week, WARM is the word. We will likely see a few 70 degree readings in some backyards tomorrow, but the really warm stuff arrives over the latter half of the week.

* Rain chances: While there is a chance of showers from Tuesday on through the end of the work week, it seems that the greatest rain chances will come on Tuesday and again on Thursday. There could be some strong storms involved Thursday, but with the recent cool/dry airmass, it will take some time for the atmosphere to "recharge" with the warm/moist airmass that supports severe weather.

* Time to snag a bite of dinner...I am covering the evening shift for Renny tonight, so I'll be in the office later watching things!
