3/13 - 8:30pm - Warming Up Slowly

You may have seen the school closing/delay crawlers on the bottom of your local news channels this morning. Here's why:

Counties to our south received up to 3 inches of snow late last night, which caused problems for the morning commute in Larue, Hart, Nelson, and other counties in Kentucky. This will be one of the last (if not the last) accumulating snowfalls in the area for the season.

Warmer temperatures are on the way as high pressure builds back in. Tomorrow will see a high near 50 degrees due to showers developing around the area. Sunday will take things up a notch with a high in the mid 50's and rain moving out by the afternoon. We'll rise steadily through the 60's for Monday and Tuesday, with a high in the 70's for Wednesday.

Another cold front with rain comes through on Wednesday, so we'll have to bid the warm temperatures adieu once again. We won't drop as far in temperature as we did with the last cold front though, with highs only going down into the low 50's for the remainder of next week.

Hey Ryan! Just to give you a report from Northern Middle TN, we saw some sleet and freezing rain with the sleet accumulating to 1" in spots and ice about .10"-.20" on the trees. To everyone's surprise, we went to school yesterday with all that mess still around. The roads did improve as the night went on, but many were still thinking we would get out. But I was just happy to see some wintry weather here, been a dull winter once again. Bring on the severe wx! :)

Have you see the 850mb models the past few days? There's a big warm-up coming to the country this week.
