Our First Spring Storm?

wxch_sfctemps_030308.jpgToday's weather is a winner! Sunny and warm with a high in the mid-50s. Enjoy it if you can as tomorrow and Wednesday will feature varying degrees of wetness.

The culprit is a nasty cold front that currently slices the country in two from Chicago to San Antonio. In classic springtime severe weather fashion, a low pressure system is spinning up over the front in Texas this morning. The low will surf along the front as the front moves eastward, spawning tornadoes and severe thunderstorms across the southeast.

The chance of rain will increase during the day tomorrow as the storm draws closer. The high will be around 50 degrees. Lots of rain is expected to fall from Tuesday night into Wednesday morning. It's too soon to tell with any confidence, the Weather Channel has the storm arriving earlier and further to the west than AccuWeather and the National Weather Service, but the rain has the potential to disrupt Wednesday morning's commute.

Seasonable temperatures, highs in the mid-40s, return on Thursday and Friday. Thursday is likely to be a sunny/cloudy mix while Friday will tend toward the cloudy/light rain side.
Morning temperatures, guess where the cold front is, from the Weather Channel.
