A wet but warm pattern

This crazy weather of 2013 has folks over much of the nation scratching their heads and wondering where spring disappeared to.  Continued snowfall in Minneapolis (chance of snow Wednesday night through Friday), seesaw weather in Chicago (80+ degree high temperatures Tuesday and Wednesday followed by 50's Thursday and Friday), and unseasonably cool temperatures along the Atlantic seaboard have all combined to push spring fever to abnormally high levels.

It may be a bit moist here at Santa Rosa Beach this week but it's warm!!  Right now the temperature is 70 degrees and the warmth will continue with high temperatures forecast in the 70's all this week.  In fact check out this temperature forecast graphic for Friday evening:

Note the cool blue and green shades draped across the center of the nation and along the East Coast?  Now check out the warmer yellow shading at the white star location of Santa Rosa Beach.  Even with a daily chance of showers and thunderstorms here it beats shivering up north!!
