 Lows are forecasted to get down into the low 40s way down in Hogtown the next two nights as well as at least one more night late week. 
 

Edit: They made it down at least to 39!
 

@pcbjr

Yep.  Been waiting on this March warmup but it's been a roller coaster at best and seems a lot more cool than warm.  Not good for my new grass.

Hogtown’s official low was, indeed, 39 (11 BN). But today’s high was way up at 79, 3 AN! It looks less cool tonight, but low 40s are forecasted for Thu and Fri nights there.

We have a forecast high of 80 today and low of 32 tomorrow night here. These swings are nuts.

7 of the next 10 days here forecast to have lows in the 30s.  Just spring in the South.  Will be begging for these cool days in a couple of months.

I am sure many of you have already seen this report.  I did not read it until this morning.  Those rainfall totals are absolutely insane.  The wind gusts were also bad for such a large area.

The on and off tree damage along a 50 or so mile stretch of I-16 was like nothing I’ve ever seen over such a large area. It looks like the damage from many dozens of tornadoes!

WRAL already putting out their weather alert day for Monday.

Do the local stations actually determine that,or do they rely on whatever service they get all their products from? I just noticed a lot of channels across the SE use this designation along with the same graphics, so wasn't sure what all that entails

This is only my assumption and I do not know for sure, but most TV stations are owned by larger media corporations.  I would think that if stations are in different markets, but are under one corporation, they would likely have the same marketing/weather/formats, etc.

Still remember that day.  I was a freshman in college.  Rained in the morning and then sun came out.  When I came out of class after lunch, I remember walking across campus thinking “why is so hot and why am I sweating so much?”  Had no idea what was on the way.  Guys in the room next door to me in the dorm were from Marlboro County.  Left as soon as they got word and went home to help.  Had this outbreak happened in a more populated area, hundreds would have died.  
 

Article  

The worst tornado outbreak in Carolina History unfolded 41 years ago today.  24 tornadoes, 7 of which were EF-4, raced across the Carolinas at 65 mph.  At the end of the 7 hour outbreak, 57 had been killed and over 1200 injured.  Marlboro County took a devastating hit with 2 EF-4 tornadoes striking in less than an hour.  One of those grew to 2.5 miles wide and was on the ground for 45 miles.  The picture of the beam impaled in the ground below remains in Bennettsville as a monument to the outbreak.

Is there going to be a chilly snap during the upcoming Masters just as has occurred in some past Masters? Be ready to break out  the coats one last time then just in case?

@dsauror others have an opinion?

I like the  odds.  Seen lots wearing sweaters on Master's weekend, so climo says maybe flurries, lol.
