Warm, Mostly Dry Days Ahead
An all new edition of the ABC 33/40 Weather Xtreme video is available in the player on the right sidebar of the blog. You can subscribe to the Weather Xtreme video on iTunes by clicking here.
THE WARM-UP CONTINUES: Temperatures are generally in the 50s across Alabama this morning, although some of the colder pockets over Northeast Alabama have dipped into the 40s. The warming trend continues today with a high around 80 degrees in most spots this afternoon with a partly to mostly sunny sky.
TOMORROW/FRIDAY: Most of the state will be warm and dry. Low 80s tomorrow, mid 80s Friday. We might see a shower or two near the Tennessee border over far North Alabama, but even there nothing really widespread is expected. The sky will be partly sunny, although some early morning clouds are possible as low level moisture levels rise.
OUR WEEKEND: The 00Z GFS has backed off on the idea of a cold front moving through Sunday; instead it keeps a 500 mb ridge in place. And, if this is correct, the weekend will stay warm and mostly dry with highs in the 80s. Partly sunny days, fair nights, and again some chance of early morning cloudiness. We will lean this way in our forecast. Showers, more than likely, will be very hard to find.
NEXT WEEK: The ridge holds, meaning warm, tranquil weather. I guess a shower might pop up at some point during the afternoon hours along the way, but we see nothing to suggest any really organized rain next week. See the Weather Xtreme video for details and all of the graphics that go along with this discussion.
WEATHER BRAINS: Don’t forget you can listen to our weekly 90 minute netcast anytime on the web, or on iTunes. This is the show all about weather featuring many familiar voices, including our meteorologists here at ABC 33/40.
CONNECT: You can find me on all of the major social networks…
I will be spending some time today at the WeatherReady Nation conference going on in Birmingham this week… look for the next Weather Xtreme video here by 3:30 or so this afternoon. Enjoy the day!
