A devastating tornado outbreak on Friday has left communities across the Ohio Valley to the Gulf Coast looking for answers. The weather for recovery and clean-up efforts will be starkly different heading into next week.
A cold breeze and some sunshine encompassed southern Indiana and Ohio to Tennessee early this morning. Henryville and Marysville, Ind., two of the hardest-hit communities in the outbreak, were part of the calmer weather this morning.
Chilly, breezy and mainly dry weather is forecast for the balance of the weekend.
Sub-freezing lows will affect areas from Cincinnati, Ohio, to Paducah, Ky., to Nashville, Tenn., tonight as temperatures bottom out the 20s and lower 30s.
Temperatures in the mid- to upper 30s will be found farther south from Mississippi to Alabama and northern Georgia.
Showers will dampen central and southern Alabama into Georgia tonight while dry weather will be farther north into the Ohio Valley.
On Sunday, rain and snow showers will be across Ohio and Indiana to Kentucky as a much weaker and colder storm moves in from the northern Plains.
A steadier snow will develop across southern Indiana and most of Kentucky Sunday night, which could produce an inch or two snow over the tornado ravaged region.
By Monday, a high pressure system will provide tranquil weather through at least the middle part of next week from the Great Lakes to the Gulf Coast. The change to cold this weekend will be followed by a gradual warm-up next week supported by plenty of sunshine.
