Cold start to our Friday...milder weather on the way

Here is today's edition of the Carolina Weather Video....



It was a frigid morning all across the region today. Many Piedmont spots hit the teens with some mountain spots in the single digits. Off to our west, it was very cold through the Deep South and Lower Mississippi Valley. Some places in Mississippi hit single digits!

However, a gradual moderating trend will continue through the weekend with 50s for highs tomorrow and lower 60s Sunday. Both days will feature plenty of sun.

Next week...

A much quieter, much milder week is on tap next week compared to most of the winter. Highs most days will surge well up into the 60s, and I still think most locations will manage to top 70 by the end of the week.

Lots of questions as to whether or not this is the end of cold weather for the season. It is a little early to say that....I think at some point, we end up in cold air again...I just don't have a feel for when yet. And of course, we have made a habit recently of getting snow in March, so we shall see.

Snow pulling out....sunshine quickly returns today

Here is today's edition of the Carolina Weather Video....snow ending this morning with warmer times ahead....



Before I go any further, I want to give a big 'thank you' to Hank Allen for providing some great content while I was away. Great job, and I appreciate you guys reading what he had to say.

Our snow-producing system behaved just about as expected around the Carolinas. The forecast wording I put here on the blog yesterday worked out pretty nicely....here is my quote from yesterday morning:

"Here is the accumulation map I drew for this morning. For the I-85 corridor, this is a very low-impact type event....a dusting to at most an inch or so for most. Many places will likely see no snow accumulation at all."

Some schools and businesses operated on delays this morning, and there were some slick spots on some roads. But all in all, it was indeed a pretty low-impact event around here for most. How about up to two feet of snow in northern Arkansas though! And Fayetteville, AR recorded their coldest temperature ever this morning..... -18!

Highs will be in the 40s today with lots of afternoon sun....upper 40s to lower 50s tomorrow.

Warmer weather...

By Sunday, highs should surge into the 60s, and they will stay there most days right through next work week. I think it is completely possible that some lower 70s creep in for some highs by Thursday or Friday next week. Like I said in the video, I have issued a "Spring Fever Watch" for next week....

Down the road, the NAO and AO show signs of moving at least back to neutral while the PNA stays negative. We will see where the pattern might head as we get toward the latter stages of February.
