Sunny Sunday, Rain Tomorrow, Warm Tuesday, Severe Storms Wednesday

Tweaking the forecast early on this Sunday afternoon.

JB would call it “severe clear” today in describing the weather across all of Alabama this afternoon. The closest clouds are over eastern Texas, Arkansas and extreme northwesterly Louisiana.

Showers are already showing up across Missouri and northwestern Arkansas ahead of the next system which is a trough developing over the Four Corners region.

This rain will expand and spread eastward overnight tonight. It will make it into Alabama Monday morning, spreading across the area during the day. About one half inch of rain will fall on average through Monday night.

A warm front will shift northward Monday night, leaving Alabama in the warm sector by Tuesday. Temperatures will soar in to the 70s with dewpoints in the lower and middle 60s. A few storms will develop in this juicy airmass and some of them could be strong or even severe.

But the main event will be Wednesday. The airmass will be even juicier and a strong trough will be moving our way along with a strong cold front. Some supercells may develop ahead of the main line Wednesday during the day. The line will move across Alabama during the afternoon and evening with a high threat for damaging winds. With good instability and strong wind fields aloft, damaging wind, tornadoes and hail will all be on the table as threats.

Cooler and calm conditions will prevail for Thursday an Friday. The weekend will feature warming conditions with 70s returning to the scene by Sunday afternoon.

Watching another big severe weather threat on March 6th, but that is voodoo country, so we will have plenty of time to watch it develop or not.
