Good morning! March will end today on a very warm note. It looks we’ll be in the middle 80’s each day for the rest of this week through Saturday. This is more like a May weather pattern. Spotty random storms will pop up in the afternoon and evening hours as March ends today and April begins tomorrow. So far, it appears the best rain chance will along and ahead of a Easter weekend frontal system. Here’s my brief video forecast discussion.
TODAY: Mostly sunny, warmer. High in the middle 80’s. Random scattered mostly afternoon and evening showers & storms possible. Many towns will stay dry.
TONIGHT: Partly cloudy and mild. Low 62.
FUTURE RADAR (the hi-res WRF model) suggesting there could be a few random pop up storms later. Good luck. We need the rain drops.
FULL “PINK” MOON tomorrow. The moon, which is about to set at 5:41 AM, is looking spectacular. It is 97.2% full now. The official Full Pink Moon is Wednesday evening at 9:11 PM CDT. Moonrise tonight is 5:59 PM. Sunset 7:06 PM.
NEXT FEW DAYS: The warm-up continues. Highs will be in the 80’s each day through Saturday. Lows will be mostly in the lower 60’s. Spotty, random, scattered showers and a few thunderstorms will pop up mostly in the afternoon and evening hours. Many towns will get skipped.
The best rain chance will along and ahead of a weekend frontal system.
Here’s the rainfall outlook through next Monday. Unfortunately, the projected rainfall numbers have come down as the drought continues to grow worse. The projected numbers are disappointing.
The 10 Day model Blend Temperature Trend. Mid 80’s each day through Saturday. Then cooler behind the weekend front. (Normal hi/lo 75/49)
POLLEN FORECAST: The pollen forecast remains in the high range each day.
