Winter Storm Warning!


Yes, that is snow you see! Pine Bluff is in the middle of a winter storm warning. We currently have 7 inches of snow and it's still falling! The temperature is supposed to reach 24 degrees tonight so we expect the roads to get pretty messy. On the bright side, Cardinals look beautiful against all the snow.
So....Why the snowfall in March? Well a cooler Gulf of Mexico front and a polar continental front are to blame. Usually we'd get rain when these two fronts meet but with the cooler waters of the Gulf producing cooler moist air, it just couldn't keep it from turning the precipitation to snow.
The good news is it will be all gone by Sunday as our high for Sunday will be 60 degrees.
