Our line of thunderstorms has done a major disappearing act in less than two hours this morning.
It ran out of steam, as expected, as it moved into more stable air over Central Alabama.
Now the flare up over Mississippi was a surprise to me that came courtesy of a very strong nighttime low level flow of warm, moist air off the Gulf called the nocturnal jet. It fed the storms while they were over the Magnolia State.
Our cold front was very diffuse this morning. It is really hard to locate on weather maps. Most likely, it is about 75 miles west of the Mississippi River. The strong upper level disturbance that triggered the storms yesterday and last night to the west of Alabama has lifted quickly out to the northeast.
Temperatures are in the lower 60s across Central Alabama. Showers will continue through the morning hours and diminish this afternoon.
Easter Sunday looks great across Alabama, with highs in the lower 80s and a good supply of sunshine.
