The Thrill Of Victory, The Agony of Defeat

Years ago, ABC Sports on the weekend had a program called Wide World Of Sports.  Their announcer Jim McManus (McKay) would say "The thrill of victory" with video showing athletes winning their event.  It was followed by his calling "The agony of defeat" with the video having a downhill skier losing control and crashing into the snow.  Well today I felt like the agony of defeat (Foggy/cloudy) while just 80 miles away, Baton Rouge was enjoying the thrill (sunshine)  So close yet so far.  See how warm it is in the sunshine.

Yesterday's weak frontal boundary has about washed out leaving behind low level moisture and light winds that should result in another foggy start on Sunday.  NWS has a dense fog advisory for after midnight tonight into Sunday morning.

You can see how the Spring-like warmth  is surging across the Plains with 80+ degrees into Oklahoma & Kansas.  IF we can break through the early low clouds tomorrow, our highs will bounce into the mid to upper 70s.

Since the southern sub-tropical jet stream is expected to remain active, look for several disturbances to work around the stalled upper trough off the West coast.  That will bring us rain chances again late Monday into Tuesday and again on Friday.

After a good soaking Thursday night into Friday, we really don't need any more rain for awhile.  However, The Weather Prediction Center (WPC) has 1-3" expected over us for Monday-Tuesday (top graphic) with another 1-3" on Friday bringing total rainfall for us between 3-5+" (bottom graphic).

I do see several cold fronts coming after March 10th through the 20th, but none of them should bring down a freeze threat.  Time to plant those tomatoes!  Stay tuned!
