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.
FEELING GOOD: The last few patches of snow will melt away today as temperatures warm into the upper 60s. Like recent days, we will see high clouds at times thanks to the sub-tropical jet stream, but the low levels remain dry. Temperatures rise into the 70s tomorrow and over the weekend as spring-like weather arrives. We stay dry through Saturday, and any showers Sunday should be rather isolated.
NEXT WEEK: Enough moisture will be in place for a few scattered showers on Monday, but the best chance of organized showers and storms should hold off until mid-week. The 06Z GFS (see today’s Weather Xtreme video) hints the main band of storms will actually arrive Tuesday night, with it all shifting down into South Alabama by Wednesday afternoon. Then, the front stalls over South Alabama, and the cold up north really never makes it into Alabama. Not much confidence in the timing of events next week due to model uncertainty at this time.
THE LAND OF VOODOO: The GFS is still on the idea of a good rain/storm event here around March 16… see the video for details.
