Sunday night update: Hey everyone, big weather changes are blowing in—just in time for St. Patrick’s Day! That strong cold front we’ve been watching is still making its way through tonight. The bulk of the rain and thunderstorms have scooted out, but if you’re south of I-20, don’t be surprised by a few lingering showers sticking around until midnight or so. Step outside tonight, and you’ll feel it—cooler air is settling in, the wind’s starting to ease up, and temps are dropping into the upper 40s and low 50s under skies that’ll gradually clear. It’s like the weather’s setting the stage for a fresh, lucky Monday!
Get your shamrocks ready, because St. Paddy’s Day is bringing a crisp, festive feel! An upper low swinging through will keep things cooler than usual, with highs in the lower to mid-60s. The morning might tease us with a mix of clouds and sun, but by afternoon, those skies should clear up—perfect for showing off your green gear at the parade in Augusta. Watch out for some gusty winds, though, so hold onto those hats!
Now, a little heads-up for Monday night: with clear skies and winds calming down, we could see some patchy frost developing, especially in those normally colder and more sheltered spots. If you’ve got tender plants or early blooms, consider covering them up or bringing them inside overnight.
Tuesday flips the script with high pressure moving in—think sunny skies and a nice warm-up into the 70s. By Wednesday, it’s even better, with temps climbing into the upper 70s and low 80s. That’s the kind of golden sunshine that makes you want to soak up every extra minute of daylight as spring creeps closer.
Mark your calendars, folks! Thursday is the official start of spring! And while we’ll be celebrating longer days and the promise of warmer weather, Mother Nature might send a little reminder that things can still be a bit unpredictable. A weak cold front will slide through, tossing in a chance for a few showers—nothing major, just enough to keep an umbrella handy. Breezy conditions might tag along too, so secure those spring decorations. Temps will stay mild, though a touch cooler than Wednesday’s warmth, making it a lively start to the season.
Friday is looking mild and drier, with highs likely in the lower to mid 60s. Then, the weekend turns up the heat again, with temps rebounding into the 70s by Saturday and Sunday. The forecast looks mostly dry for now, so it’s shaping up to be a great stretch for enjoying those first official spring days.
