We’re taking a three day trek to start the weekend, headed from the coast to the mountains. Our drive will cover 1,766 miles, with the first two days concluding after 565 miles and a surprisingly brisk 70.6mph pace.
DAY ONE (Saturday)

There is a bit of drizzle on the Georgia Coast tonight, but the vast feature responsible for it is moving along responsibly. It will be dry in Brunswick by morning, and the length of our drive will remain so. This is good news, because winter driving in Atlanta and Birmingham can be hairy when things go sideways. We’ll get through both cities just fine, and end our day in Fulton, Mississippi.
DAY TWO (Sunday)
A large, broad trough that’s been hanging out at the upper levels of the western US for a couple of days is going to dampen out which will kick a lot of the wintry weather back north, and allow the mid-south to remain warm and dry. We will see mostly sunny skies through Memphis and Tulsa, eventually settling into Hallett, Oklahoma without seeing much.
DAY THREE (Monday)
As the jet sets up a west to east course through the northern US, a strong boundary will also set up from the northern Rockies through the Dakotas. This is where the action will be. Oklahoma, Kansas and Colorado will be action free, and unseasonably warm.
