Today was supposed to be Cloudy, muggy, warm and dry so my golfing group decided to head to Springfield, home of Carter Plantation Golf Course. In reality, the weather was cloudy & muggy, but it was not warm nor dry. Highs were in the low to mid 60s and I was glad I layered up. In addition, I had to put on my rain jacket as most of the round we endured off/on mist that turned into a moderate rain at times. Clearly the previous night's computer forecast was not accurate as none of the models had any rain for today. Still, the course was very playable and I can't wait to return when the sun is out. If you're a golfer, you should give this course a try. You won't be disappointed.
Locally, there are no major changes coming for the next 5-7 days. Very cold air is not that far away, but the upper air pattern will keep most of the chill away from SE LA/MS. The change to a colder pattern is shaping up for the last week ahead of Mardi Gras. The difficult questions will be how cold and what parades will be wet? Thank goodness I don't have to deal with that stress anymore. The parades this weekend should not have to deal with much in the way of rainfall & temperatures will stay above normal/warm. David showed the "Battle Zone" that will develop between the warm & cold. Along that zone look for lots of heavy rains with snow farther to the north. If it briefly sags to our south during the next week, the cold air will not be drastic and should quickly retreat back to the north. I'm pretty confident that March will be colder than February, but the longer days and higher sun angles should help temper the chill. For now, enjoy the warmth. Stay tuned!
