Storms Done
* Just as they developed, they fell apart. Probably had a lot to do with losing the extra energy given to the atmosphere by the sun's radiation. Now, we have a few showers drifting through the area, but nothing in the way of thunderstorms. Scattered showers will be possible here and there tonight, but I don't anticipate any more storms. In fact, many places will probably stay dry.* Weekend: We are still evaluating the threat of severe thunderstorms over the weekend and into Monday. We will have a warm and unstable airmass in place tomorrow, but there's no trigger mechanism to get thunderstorms to develop. Think of it as a tank of gasoline with no match - the atmosphere is primed, but we don't see anything to initiate any development. That will change by early next week...
* Which brings us to Monday. An upper trough will dig into the central U.S., and a trailing cold front will begin slicing towards the Deep South. At this point, it seems like the highest threat of severe weather would come north of here - across Arkansas, Tennessee, Kentucky, Missouri, and the Ohio Valley. I would imagine we'll see a squall line move through with small hail and gusty winds the main threat - certainly nothing like what we saw with the squall line yesterday.
* COLD? Evidence is growing that we will see a turn to much cooler air around the middle of next week. Highs Wednesday will struggle to reach the lower 60's, and temps Wednesday morning could fall close to freezing.
* Certainly no dull times during the month of March....
