High pressure remains in charge of our weather pattern, so the spring-like pattern/warmth has extended well into March.
By Friday, the pressure difference increases winds midday as low pressure heads Northeast and front moves into the Southeast. Sustained winds out of the South-Southeast will range between 15-20 mph with gusts up to 30 mph. Conditions improve quickly during the rest of the weekend.
Computer models showing low pressure strengthens around the Southern Plains and heads Northeast, while the leading edge of a weak cold front moves into Florida Saturday. Ahead the air will be very warm. In fact, temperatures will be in record territory. This front will stall nearby on Sunday bringing a slightly better chance of seeing a few showers on Monday.
Temperature won’t be as hot, but remain above average into next week.
