A Very Pleasant, Dry Weekend for the Pinebelt – Weekend Forecast 3/9/24

After a tornado warning popped up around Marion County and moved into Lamar County, I think it’s safe to say it’s nice to have some good weather. This weekend is definitely the case with cooler and drier temperatures compared to the warm and humid we had earlier this week.

Surface analysis from the WPC on Sunday

A prominent surface high will overtake the region for the next several days along with a mid-level ridge over us. For us, that means that conditions will be fairly seasonal if not slightly cooler than average for a few days. We’ll see partly cloudy skies which will keep the temperatures down a bit but not too cold for this time of year. Going into the evening, clouds will be on the increase as temperatures drop into the mid-40s for Sunday and Monday. It will likely be one of those “bring a jacket with you and take it off by afternoon” type of weekends as the wind dies down with the cold front moving out.

So, overall a nice break from the warm, humid, and stormy week we had last week. Temperatures will hover around the 60s for the next few days and winds will be coming from the north and shifting to the east by Monday. By nighttime, we’ll drop into the mid to upper 40s with clouds on the increase.
