As expected, a very nice warm-up is in progress today after the sub-freezing start this morning. Birmingham reports 58 degrees at 1:00, and it sure looks like we are headed for 60 degrees before the day is done.
And, the warming trend continues through mid-week. We should be close to 70 tomorrow, and in the low 70s by Wednesday afternoon. A few high clouds will pass by from time to time, but a good bit of sunshine will get through. We no significant chance of rain through Wednesday.
A weak front will sag through here late Thursday and Friday, but with little upper support the chance of significant rain looks rather small. A few showers could form around the front, but rain amounts should be light and spotty. Temperatures will drop only slightly; I still think we see low 70s on Thursday, but highs on Friday will be in the mid to upper 60s. Still very comfortable.
WEEKEND PEEK: Looks like another "half and half" weekend. Saturday should be dry and mild with temperatures well up in the 60s, but we will have to introduce a chance of rain and thunderstorms on Sunday with an upper impulse rolling through the flow. Looks like the best chance of rain Sunday will be along and north of I-20. South Alabama could very well remain dry.
COLD SHOT: The GFS continues to advertise a shot of cold air moving into the eaastern part of the nation in about 7 to 8 days. The 12Z run is not as cold as the 00Z run from last night for Alabama; the coldest air is shunted east of the state.
LONG RANGE: The 12Z run shows a screaming severe weather setup for Alabama at 384 hours (around March 15), but that is out there in voodoo land. Certainly possible, however. This is the time of the year. Still looks like very typical March weather ahead, with changeable temperatures along with occasional wet and stormy periods.
Sure enjoyed speaking to the second graders today at Rocky Ridge Elementary... they will on the KIDCAM on ABC 33/40 News today at 5:00!
STORM ALERT 2006: Yep, the last chance to see Storm Alert 2006 is tomorrow night at the Northport Civic Center. We begin at 7:00, but come early for a good seat!
SOUTHEAST SEVERE STORMS SYMPOSIUM: Don't forget the annual Southeast Severe Storms Symposium is this Friday and Saturday (March 3/4) at Mississippi State University. Learn more here:
