RIGHT NOW: A few sprinkles are showing up on radar over West-Central Alabama… all of that will vanish within the next few hours, and the sky will become clear tonight, allowing temperatures to fall into the 40s. After tonight, a warming trend headlines our forecast that will last into the weekend, bringing our warmest weather so far this year.
SUMMER PREVIEW: We are projecting a high in the low to mid 70s tomorrow, low 80s by Thursday, and low to mid 80s by Friday and the weekend. Humidity levels will rise a bit by the weekend, giving a summer feel to the final weekend of April. There no sign of any trigger for showers other than the daytime heating process, and considering this is April and not August, we won’t mention any significant chance of rain through early next week as an upper ridge takes over. The warm and dry weather will last into early next week.
LONG RANGE: Looks like showers are possible by the middle of next week, but no sign of any really heavy rain event or severe weather threat for the next 15 days as the storm track remains to the north. Temperatures will also remain above average in this pattern.
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.
