Pleasant Days, Cool Nights Through The Weekend
DRY DAYS: Dry weather is forecast for all of Alabama through early next week, with below average temperatures. With a partly sunny sky tomorrow, we expect a high in the 62-65 degree range. Saturday and Sunday will feature a sunny sky with highs staying in the low to mid 60s. Mornings will be chilly; the low Saturday morning will be in the 36-42 degree range, and most communities across North/Central Alabama will drop into the 30s early Sunday morning with frost likely. Colder spots will be at or just below freeing at daybreak Sunday… growers beware.
NEXT WEEK: The weather turns warmer… we rise into the 70s Monday, and low 80s Tuesday and Wednesday. A dynamic storm system will bring rain and storms back into Alabama Wednesday night into Thursday morning; strong to severe thunderstorms will be possible, but it is still too early to know the magnitude or coverage of the event. We will have much better clarity by Sunday and Monday… See the Weather Xtreme video for maps, graphics, and more details.
EARLY APRIL: The latest CPC outlook for early April shows lots of blue around here, meaning temperatures are expected to be below average. We almost always have a late season freeze/frost in early April… always wait until April 15 to plant anything that might be harmed by frost or freezing temperatures.
