RIGHT NOW: The NWS continues a dense fog advisory for parts of Central Alabama, but the fog seems to be pretty spotty. Once that burns off, looks like a very pleasant early spring day, with a mostly sunny sky and a high in the low to mid 70s. Pretty much the same story tomorrow… a nice chance to dry out after three days of rain.
THURSDAY/FRIDAY: A cold front moves through Thursday evening, and we will mention only isolated showers with that passage due to limited moisture and dynamics. Many communities won’t have enough rain to measure. We should make it into the low 70s Thursday, but Friday will be about ten degrees cooler with a high in the low to mid 60s. The sky Friday will be sunny as dry, continental air will cover the Deep South.
THE WEEKEND: No rain this time… we expect a good supply of sunshine both Saturday and Sunday with highs mostly in the 60s, although some parts of West Alabama could reach the low 70s Sunday. We will be close to 40 at daybreak Saturday, with 30s and some risk of scattered light frost for the colder valleys around here.
NEXT WEEK AND BEYOND: The GFS for the past few runs has been showing a decent storm system in here in the March 26-27 time frame, which would bring a good chance of rain and possibly strong thunderstorms. Watch the Weather Xtreme video and you will see the 00Z run is now showing a shot of cold air in here around March 29, which would get us down in the 20s if correct. Late season cold snaps are to be expected here, and like I have been saying for a while, it is way too early to plant anything that might be harmed by freezing temperatures.
WEATHER BRAINS: Don’t forget you can listen to our weekly 30 minute netcast anytime on the web, or on iTunes.
