What a great crowd for our Storm Alert 2006 show in Gadsden last night... I will post a few pictures shortly. Our last stop on the tour this year is TUESDAY of next week (not Thursday) at the Northport Civic Center.
WARMING UP: Both the NAM and the GFS are showing 68 for today. Sure sounds good; we will have filtered sunshine and no rain.
WET WEEKEND START: A nice wave will bring rain back to the state tomorrow. It could very well rain much of the day, and my gut feeling is that the axis of heaviest rain will be near U.S. 80 (Demopolis to Selma to Montgomery to Auburn). But, the WRF has a 2 inch strip closer to I-20. One way or another, we should be pretty wet tomorrow. And, remember all models really underestimated the amount of rain with the system a couple of days ago big time.
Some strong thunderstorms will be possible over the far southern part of Alabama on Saturday; we don't expect any severe weather problems up here. Just lots of rain.
DRIER SUNDAY: Sunshine returns on Sunday with a cool breeze. Parts of North Alabama might not see 50; we expect low 50s here. Then, we should go below freezing Monday morning with upper 20s likely.
NEXT WEEK: We should enjoy some spring-like temperatures by the middle of next week. Would not be surprised if we see some low 70s. The GFS continues to weaken the Monday night/Tuesday feature, and little rain shows up on the 06Z run. Some rain will be possible later in the week as moisture deepens.
MARCH MADNESS: The GFS has the March 4-6 system back on the table. A strong upper storm moves from Colorado to the high plains. This would still keep the greatest severe weather threat northwest of Alabama, if that is correct. Our stormiest day would be March 6 if the 06Z run is on the money. Generally speaking, the first half of the month looks active with frequent rain producers. And, we still have cold air to the north, and some of that might try to slip in here from time to time.
I will have the next map discussion video posted by 3:30 this afternoon... enjoy the 60s today!
