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.
WARM DAYS: Birmingham soared to 86 degrees at 2:00 this afternoon… making this the warmest day so far in 2009. If you like the weather today, you will love the weekend forecast. We are talking mid 80s tomorrow, Saturday and Sunday, with some potential for upper 80s over the western half of the state. Each day will feature a good supply of sunshine, and the chance of an afternoon shower is so small it isn’t worth mentioning in the forecast. Needless to say, great weather for all of the race weekend activities at the Talladega Superspeedway. Get out there and enjoy it.
NEXT WEEK: The 12Z GFS is coming in with a different solution for next week; it brings in a weakening front on Wednesday with some risk of showers; that boundary lifts northward as a warm front Thursday and Friday, and those two days the model hints the best chance of rain will be north of here. We won’t bite into this solution for now; I think the idea of showers on Thursday and Friday is the best idea with the front drifting in here slowly and becoming stationary.
VOODOO LAND: Still no sign of the Polar jet dipping down this way into the first week of May, but the southern branch could feature a few decent short waves at some point in early May.
