3/19 – Jeff Vorick’s “Another Chilly Night” Tuesday Evening Forecast

A cool evening will quickly give way to another cold night. One difference will be lighter winds which will eliminate a wind chill factor but also lead to the possibility of patchy frost north of I-10. Cloud cover moving in late will be the saving grace for temperatures bottoming out & widespread frost concerns north of the interstate. It would be a good idea to protect sensitive plants again. Wednesday brings a mild day once the cold start is past us. More cloud cover works in but temperatures will only be a hair below seasonal averages.

High pressure shifts to its east which gradually works in humidity and moisture with light southerly flow. As we push towards the end of the week, there will be changes to the pattern. A developing storm system will swing through the area Thursday into Friday. There are rain chances in play for both days with more widespread rain expected Friday. Thunderstorms are mostly off the table. Something worth mentioning is that thunderstorms offshore may shift rain chances away from our area for the first wave of rain Thursday, & Friday will bring lighter but longer-duration rainfall.
