A Dry March Weather Pattern
An all new edition of the ABC 33/40 Weather Xtreme video is available in the player below, and on iTunes…
Birmingham’s rainfall deficit for 2007 is up to 6.63″, and it will only grow larger this week as a dry weather pattern continues across Alabama and the Deep South. The good news is that we will warm up nicely this week as high temperatures return to the 70s. In fact, the forecast will include highs in the 70s and lows in the 50s for the next seven days.
THE BIG PICTURE: A deep upper trough will form over the next 48 hours over the Southwest U.S., and won’t be in a hurry to move. It will bring a risk of severe storms to much of Texas and the Southern Plains Wednesday through Friday, but all of that action will remain well to the west of Alabama. Even over the weekend the 00Z GFS is suggesting Alabama will remain mild and dry. So, for those of you who are on spring break this week, the weather looks great just about anywhere across the Southeast U.S. through Sunday.
OUR NEXT RAIN: Looks like rain finally returns to Alabama one week from today (Monday March 26)… and at this time it does not look like a significant severe weather threat.
1932 TORNADO TRAGEDY: Be sure and scroll down and read Bill Murray’s stories on the March 21, 1932 tornado event here in Alabama… this year is the 75th anniversary. That was quite a day, and no, I wasn’t doing the weather on TV at the time.
PRIME TIME SPECIAL: Our annual spring prime time weather special will air on ABC 33/40 this Sunday night (March 25) from 6:00 until 7:00 p.m… we hope you can join us. You will see many of the video elements in our Storm Alert 2007 show if you were not able to join us this year.
WEATHER PARTY: Get all the latest weather news over on our sister site, WeatherParty.com. Be sure and register while you are there; you can submit stories and vote on them to determine what is published on the front page.
I am off to Helena Intermediate School this morning for a program on meteorology; I will have the next Weather Xtreme video posted by 3:30 this afternoon. Enjoy the day!
