3/6 – Rob Knight’s Ash Wednesday “Morning” Forecast

It’s a FRIGID start to our Wednesday across the area, state and region. A Freeze Warning remains in effect through the mid-morning.

High pressure is over the area today and will move east of the area and winds will shift out of the south by Thursday. This will allow temperatures to moderate and we should hit the 70s by the end of the week. The pattern will crank up this weekend and into next week. Guidance points to another strong system moving through the eastern United States Saturday into Sunday. This system may bring another round of severe weather to the southeast US this weekend.

There has been some difference in when the front will push through or if it even pushes through. A few models want to stall the front over the area Sunday as others are pushing the front off the coast. This will have a bearing on precip chances through early next week.

Either way will have to monitor the potential for severe weather as the event draws closer.

The pattern continues and another strong system looks to impact the area next Wednesday.
