MAYLIKE MARCH: A very enjoyable week ahead for those that may want to do more outdoor activities. Temperatures are going to be nothing like they’re supposed to be for the second week of March. It’s going to feel more like May and it doesn’t look like it’s going anywhere, anytime soon. It’s going to remain mostly dry through the week after the storm departs early today. There is a slight chance of a shower or thunderstorm from Wednesday on, but the chances are 20% or less, and not everyone will see a shower everyday. The chances increase Saturday to about 30-50% crack with a storm system moving in.

TROUGH RIDGE: The storm that will move in for St. Patrick’s Day is expected to stall due to a ridge of high pressure over the southeastern states that will keep many of the storm systems from progressing to the east. This will be a good thing for those that desperately need the rainfall in northwestern Iowa where moderate to severe drought remains. With the lack of snowfall this past winter, the ground is in need of some moisture in those areas and this could help in that department.

MARCHING ALONG: Even farther into the month, there’s no signs of colder weather or even weather that is typical of March. What may come early this year along with the warm temperatures is the spring allergy season. Those that suffer with allergies aren’t looking forward to that I’m sure.

NOTE: I’ve been going through a Sinus Infection the last several days thus the reason why my voice on the video doesn’t sound too good.
