SPRING HAS SPRUNG: If you like the weather today, you will enjoy tomorrow’s forecast. Basically, more of the same; a sunny sky with a high in the mid 70s.
A cold front will be passing through here Thursday night; we will still mention some risk of isolated showers with the front. The best chance will be north of Birmingham late Thursday afternoon. The NAM is much more aggressive with rain, but the GFS seems more realistic and we will accept that solution. The chance of any one spot getting wet Thursday evening is only about one in eight.
FRIDAY AND THE WEEKEND: Following our front, temperatures will be a bit cooler; highs drop into the mid to upper 60s Friday and Saturday. But, the air will be very dry and both days will feature a sunny sky. We should be close to 70 Sunday with lots of sunshine. Still looks like the coolest morning will come at daybreak Saturday, when the colder valleys will drop into the 30s with some potential for scattered light frost. Most places will see a low close to 40.
NEXT WEEK AND INTO VOODOO COUNTRY: Our weather stays dry early next week with seasonal temperatures. Watch the Weather Xtreme video for details on long range ideas; our March 26-27 storm looks pretty puny on the 12Z GFS, but it could very well come back on the next run. Just too early to call, but March is usually a stormy month, so the stronger solution could very well be the right one. And, I still expect one or two more late season freeze events here.
