An all new edition of the ABC 33/40 Weather Xtreme video is available in the player below, and on iTunes…
Not much change in our forecast thinking this afternoon. The warming trend continues through Friday; look for a high around 70 tomorrow, followed by mid 70s on Thursday and Friday. Moisture levels will rise toward the end of the week, but there simply isn’t much of a trigger for rain, so most places will remain dry through Friday.
THE WEEKEND: A weakening front with little upper support will bring a chance of showers Saturday, but no wash-out, no severe weather, and no heavy rain. Just a passing shower or two. Then, Sunday, most places will be dry as the front dissipates and heights rise a little. Afternoon temperatures will be in the mid 70s on both days.
NEXT WEEK: The GFS continues to hint at a decent chance of rain Tuesday afternoon and Tuesday night (April 1) with a cold front moving through, and perhaps a more widespread and significant rain on Thursday April 3. With a rain deficiency for 2008 now over two inches at Birmingham, those events will be needed.
WEATHER BRAINS: Don’t forget you can listen to our weekly 30 minute netcast anytime on the web, or on iTunes.
