An interesting 72 hours coming up

What a great weather weekend we are starting March off with! March has come in like a lamb in Memphis. It's 70 degrees as I type this and it should be a few degrees warmer tomorrow as south wind, clouds, and humidity increase as well. Should remain dry until Monday morning though. Monday and Monday night will be windy with plenty of rain on tap. Most t'storms should stay south and east of the city as low pressure moves just to our SE Monday night. The heaviest rain will likely be Monday evening with a couple of inches possible by Tuesday morning.

Then it gets interesting... cold air pours in as the low departs and lingering rain could change to snow by Tuesday morning's rush-hour, with scattered light snow showers continuing Tuesday as temps remain in the 30s. Brrr!! Definitely a change from Sunday and Monday! Computer models still disagree on the amount of precip lingering Tuesday as the cold air moves in, and exactly how cold it gets in the metro area, but given that it is March, I would be surprised if the we got more than an inch. Stay tuned!
