An all new edition of the ABC 33/40 Weather Xtreme video is available in the player below, and on iTunes…
J.B. will run down a full list of lows around the state this morning… but by a quick review of the SKYCAM observations it looks like the range is from around 25 in the colder valleys to 40 on the ridge tops. The Birmingham Airport is at 34 degrees at 4:00 a.m.
WARMING UP: The dry air in place will warm up nicely today; we should be in the mid 60s this afternoon with a sunny sky. The warming trend continues through the rest of the week, with a high close to 70 tomorrow, and mid 70s by Thursday and Friday.
No rain through mid-week, and more than likely Friday will remain dry despite an increase in low level moisture. Any showers Friday or Friday night will be very isolated.
THE WEEKEND: A weakening front will drift in here Saturday, and will bring a chance of showers. But, with little upper support, we don’t expect any really heavy rain, no severe weather, and no all day wash-out. Just few showers around. That front will dissipate Saturday night and Sunday, and a shower is not totally out of the question on Sunday, but rain should not be a big issue.
INTO THE LAND OF VOODOO: Looks like a stronger front will bring a better chance of showers and storms around Tuesday of next week (April 1), followed by a decent looking system around April 3. Neither one of those storm systems, however, has a classic severe weather look for now.
WEATHER BRAINS: Don’t forget you can listen to our weekly 30 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. You can even listen here on the blog; look for the player on the top left. We will record a few show tonight; it will be available by 10:00 or so.
I am on the road this morning to Tuscaloosa… I will be speaking at Verner Elementary School, which happens to be my old school. I went through 5th and 6th grade at Verner, way back when the school was across the street from Bryant-Denny Stadium (I lived in down in Greenville, and went to W.O. Parmer Elementary there for 1st through 4th grade). The school was moved across the Black Warrior River many years ago; I always enjoy coming back for a visit. The afternoon Weather Xtreme video will be posted here by 3:30 or so this afternoon. Enjoy the day…
