This weekend, a big surge of warmth will come into most of the South ahead of a cold front that will move through. A good bit of moisture will come out of the tropics as well, so look for a good soaking rain and even thunderstorms for some as the front pushes through. The colder air behind the front won't penetrate all the way through the Southern states and those that do have the cold won't see it last long. Warmth will return next week and most of the South will stay warm all next week.
