We continue to watch a few sprinkles on the radar this afternoon, mostly south of U.S. 80. Most places around here won't see any rain tonight. And, a new surge of cool and dry air rolls in tonight. Tomorrow should be a sunny day with cooler temperatures.
THE WEEKEND: Clouds will slowly increase on Saturday, and rain should begin Saturday night. That will begin a very wet period, with 2 to 4 inches of rain likely here from Saturday night through Tuesday morning of next week. Sunday promises to be a chilly and wet day, with long periods of rain and temperatures in the 50 to 55 degree range. Not exactly "Chamber of Commerce" weather.
NEXT WEEK: Rain and thunderstorms are likely Monday. I am still doubtful that we see any severe weather around here due to marginal instability in the warm sector of the storm. And, I am not convinced we actually get in the warm sector. But, elevated thunderstorms are likely, and flash flooding could become an issue during the day.
The rain should taper off Monday night, but the 12Z GFS suggests the possibility of some light rain into Tuesday morning in the wrap around moisture on the back side of the system. Temperatures will be cooler on Tuesday, and there might even be some snow flurries up in Tennessee.
Wednesday and Thursday of next week should be cool and dry. Looks like a light freeze is a good possibility early Wednesday morning.
MORE RAIN: Another wet weather system should impact Alabama at the end of next week (around Friday March 24). The GFS looks different every run, but there could be some snow on the northern periphery of the system over Tennessee. And, yet another shot of chilly air moves in over the following weekend.
BOTTOM LINE: Forget those low 80s for a while. They might not return until the middle of April!
WEATHER BRAINS: David Black has finished putting this week's Weather Brains podcast together; I will have it shortly on iTunes, RSS, and on the web. I will post the link when I get it finished.
The next map discussion video will be posted by 7:00 a.m. tomorrow!
