After a dry weekend, rain will return to the region by midweek, bringing 1-2 inches to Alabama and Georgia and half an inch to an inch to the rest of the region except for southern Florida, which will be dry again this week as it often is this time of year. The rain will continue at a lower rate late in the week with the focus more on northern Florida and southern GA and AL. Week 2 shows near-normal precipitation and weeks 3-4 show a chance of drier than normal conditions mainly in Florida and adjacent areas. I do not see much chance of a freeze through mid-March in central AL, GA, and SC and points south other than the highest elevations, but we are not out of freeze season yet so keep watching.
