WET START: We begin the day with periods of rain and a few thunderstorms, ahead of a cold front that will pass through our state today. The rain will end from northwest to southeast, and by this afternoon most of the rain will be pushed down into South Alabama as drier air takes over. The sky will begin to clear this afternoon as the dew points begin to fall.
TOMORROW AND FRIDAY: These two days look delightful, with sunny pleasant days and clear cool nights. The high will be in the upper 70s tomorrow, and closer to 80 on Friday. Early morning lows will be around 50, with 40s likely for the colder spots. We won’t have many more of these cool mornings before the long, hot summer arrives.
THE WEEKEND: A disturbance over Texas will get closer; Saturday still looks mostly dry with only a few widely scattered showers and a high around 80. Then, moisture levels increase on Mother’s Day with a better chance of showers and thunderstorms on Sunday.
NEXT WEEK: The 00Z GFS develops an upper low over the Gulf Coast states early next week, keeping our weather rather unsettled at least for the first half of the week with scattered showers and storms; highs will be in the 77-80 degree range. See the Weather Xtreme video for more long range details.
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 speaking to the kids at Eutaw Primary School today in Greene County… look for the next Weather Xtreme video here by 3:30 or so this afternoon. Enjoy the day!
