An all new edition of the ABC 33/40 Weather Xtreme video is available in the player below, and on iTunes…
No, I am not talking about eight track tapes, leisure suits or disco music, but the thermometer should visit the 70s again during the next several days as our warming trend continues. We will be close to 70 this afternoon, with mid 70s likely tomorrow and Friday. While there will be some scattered clouds around from time to time, we see no significant chance of rain through the end of the week.
SATURDAY SHOWERS: A weakening cold front, with little upper support, will drift down here on Saturday with a few showers possible, and maybe even a thunderstorm in spots with the LI values going negative, but we don’t expect any heavy rain, severe weather, or an all-day wash out. More than likely, most places will see only 0.25″ or less. Then Sunday looks generally rain-free as the front moves northward and washes out.
NEXT WEEK: Another front, in a weakening mode, will drift in here by Tuesday or Tuesday night of next week with another chance of showers and possibly a thunderstorm. But, it looks more and more like the next really beneficial rain event will come later in the week, around Thursday and Friday (April 3-4)… as a good looking upper trough approaches from the west. The 00Z GFS is coming in a little stronger with the system and hints at the chance of a few strong thunderstorms.
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. An all new episode is on the server… scroll down for the show notes.
I am off to Gardendale this morning, where I will be speaking at Gardendale’s First Baptist Church. I will be back in the office by early afternoon, and the next Weather Xtreme video should be posted by 3:30 or so. Enjoy the day!
