Snow Tonight???

February 28, 2009

There’s a good chance of more rain and storms for your North Escambia Saturday, and there might be a few thunderstorms too. And tonight’s forecast mentions the four letter word SNOW.

Today’s rain chance is at 90 percent. The National Weather Service says to expect numerous showers and thunderstorms today, some possibly severe with  gusty winds before noon. The high will be about 73, and the winds will be at 10 to 15 mph from the west.

Winds will turn to the north tonight, and temperatures will plummet to about 39 degrees. The rain chance will be 40 percent. Coupled with some colder air in the upper levels of the skies, that might mean a few snowflakes for North Escambia. Little or no snow accumulation expected.

That slight chance of rain mixed with a little snow continues for Sunday morning at 20 percent. Sunday’s high will struggle to hit 52.
