Spring has sprung, we think. Wednesday marked the vernal equinox – the first day of spring.
Those who follow astronomy say it’s the most important day of the year, but for those firmly grounded on earth the date usually marks signs of warmer temperatures to come.
But a look at the extended forecast shows more possibilities for snow on Sunday night into Monday. All of this stems from approaching from Texas into the southern Gulf states to include a mix of snow, sleet, ice, and thunderstorms for portions further south. For us, unseasonably cold temperatures will remain in place making it feel more like January than spring, according to the National Weather Service.
Right now, it looks like we’ll see rain for most of Sunday, and then a mix of rain and snow Sunday night into Monday.
