- 2 months ago
- Description
- A dry stretch continues in the First Alert Forecast, but late-winter cold is still holding on. Expect a widespread frost early Wednesday morning, with chilly conditions to start the day.
By Thursday, we’ll see increasing clouds and slightly milder temperatures. Patchy frost is still possible, but not as widespread as earlier in the week. Afternoon highs will climb into the upper 60s.
A steady warm-up continues into Friday, with highs reaching the upper 70s. That also marks the official end of winter and the beginning of spring.
Looking ahead to the weekend, temperatures will surge into the lower 80s Saturday and mid-80s by Sunday, bringing a much more springlike feel.
Rain chances remain low, but a few isolated light showers could develop by Monday.

- Bob Jeswald Weather-3/16/26-Winter Storm Exits as Temperatures Plunge — Spring Warm-Up Arrives This
- Date posted
- 2 months ago
- Description
- A powerful winter storm system swept through the region Monday, bringing a dramatic change in weather conditions. As the system moved out on its back side, severe thunderstorms quickly gave way to a mix of sleet and rain north of Columbus.
At the same time, strong winds surged in behind the storm, sending temperatures tumbling from around 70 degrees into the upper 30s within a short period. With gusty winds continuing, wind chill values dipped below freezing in some areas, making it feel even colder.
The good news is that the unsettled weather is now moving out. The rest of the week is expected to remain storm-free, with temperatures gradually climbing.
Just in time for the official start of spring on Friday, warmer air returns to the region. By the weekend, highs will surge into the 80s with plenty of sunshine, bringing a big rebound after the early-week chill.

- Overnight Storms Leave Wind Damage in Harris and Talbot Counties as Cleanup Begins
As Bob mentioned, the storms have moved out of the area for now, but the cleanup is just getting underway for some communities after a line of strong to severe storms swept through overnight.
The storms were part of a fast-moving mesoscale convective system (MCS) — a large cluster of thunderstorms that can organize into a long line and produce widespread damaging winds across several counties or even multiple states. Unlike isolated thunderstorms, these organized systems can maintain their strength for hours and are capable of producing powerful straight-line winds, torrential rainfall, and frequent lightning.
These systems often form during the overnight hours in the Southeast, fueled by warm, humid air and strong winds higher in the atmosphere. When thunderstorms merge into a line, they can create what meteorologists call a bowing segment, where winds surge forw...

- The line of storms is expected to move into eastern Alabama, mainly impacting Chambers and Lee counties, before potentially spreading into west Georgia, including Troup, Harris, Muscogee, and Talbot counties. Some storms could hold together as they move through the area, bringing the threat of isolated damaging wind gusts, small hail, and localized street flooding.
Another round of active weather is also possible later this week.
