An all new edition of the ABC 33/40 Weather Xtreme video is available in the player below. You can subscribe to the Weather Xtreme video on iTunes by clicking here.

INTO THE 70S WE GO: Looks like a wonderful weekend ahead; highs in the 70s with a decent amount of sunshine on a daily basis. I guess we can continue to mention some risk of isolated showers Sunday, especially over Northwest Alabama, but we will stay generally dry. No severe weather, no snow this time.

NEXT WEEK: I honestly don’t think it rains much, if any at all, on Monday and Tuesday. The best chance of rain will be near the Tennessee border… temperatures will remain in the 70s. Watch the Weather Xtreme video and you will see the 06Z GFS hints the best rain next week will come on Wednesday, with a cold front drifting in here and stalling out, and then again on Friday with a wave of low pressure moving along the front. At this moment the chance of severe weather looks small.

LONG RANGE: No sign of any seriously cold weather during the mid-March period, with a few decent rain/storm events showing up. Watch the video for details on the land of voodoo.

TWITTER: Don’t forget, you can follow our news and weather updates from ABC 33/40 on Twitter here. And, my personal Twitter feed is here if you want to keep up with my adventures in life. Twitter is a short messaging service you can receive via the web, cell phone, or IM.

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.

SPECIAL ABC 33/40 NOAA WEATHER RADIO OFFER: You can purchase the WR-100 Midland NOAA Weather Radio, the best selling model in the nation, at any Publix or Handy TV location in this part of Alabama for only $29.95. These receivers have the new digital technology that allows you to choose the counties for which the alarm sounds. Every Alabama home and business needs one!

Today I have a lunch stop at Mount Laurel Elementary, then on to Berry Middle School for their read-a-thon. From there I will head to ABC 33/40, and the afternoon edition of the Weather Xtreme video should be posted by 3:30. Enjoy the day!
