Rain Returns On Saturday

The Thursday afternoon map discussion video is on the server:

The sub tropical jet will bring some high clouds to the state tonight and tomorrow, but the next 24 hours should be dry. We go down in the 30s tonight, but into the 60s tomorrow afternoon.

WET SATURDAY: The latest 12Z model runs confirm the development of a nice wave along the Gulf coast, which should spread rain into all of Alabama Saturday. The heaviest rain should be over the southern half of the state, but some places up this way could see over one inch. Any severe storms should be confined to the far southern tier of Alabama counties and the Florida panhandle.

DRY SUNDAY: Cooler and drier air rolls in here Sunday. Thank goodness the core of this cold airmass is headed for New England, but we should be well below freezing around here by early Monday morning.

NEXT WEEK: The GFS continues to hint at a weak system coming down in the northwest flow aloft which might bring some light rain on Tuesday.

INTO MARCH WE GO: The month sure looks active. The GFS has lost the severe weather look now for March 4-7; it now shows a fast zonal flow which should bring frequent wet weather systems into the state. The month looks pretty wet and unsettled, which is what you expect in March in Alabama. Details are impossible to resolve this far out.

OFF TO GADSDEN: Headed out for the Storm Alert 2006 show tonight at the Gadsden Convention Hall. We begin at 7:00, get down there early for a good seat!

Sure enjoyed seeing the 2nd graders at Shades Mountain Elementary today in Hoover... they will be on the KIDCAM on ABC 33/40 News at 5:00 today!

The next video will be posted bright and early tomorrow morning by 7:00 a.m.!

Why are you asking James for that? Why not ask God for that

Oh for give me Mike, I was trying to be funny, but I guess some on the blog did not take it that way. Duh, I know I got it also.
