6:41PM- Cold Out There! And...WOW Next Week

First off...the cold air will make headlines for another day or so. Lows tonight back below freezing. Hey, it is still winter right?

We will start to warm up toward the weekend and especially next week. Then things get interesting.

I am growing increasingly concerned that a major storm is heading to our part of the country. In fact, several computer model runs in a row (like the GFS below) are forecasting a 988 mb low passing to our NW.



If this is true, we could be facing a signficant severe weather outbreak including large tornadoes over the Southeast. Not to mention strong gusty winds near tropical storm force with possibly a snowstorm for the upstate in the storms wake.

Still plenty of time to watch this, but I do think this will deserve our full attention in the coming days IF the models keep this in tact.

We shall see. Stay tuned, until then...enjoy the nice weather!
