No real change in my thinking since this morning. The next two weeks will feature above normal temperatures and below normal rainfall as the primary storm track runs from the Great Plains to the Great Lakes. We just catch the weakening surface fronts from these systems with only a few scattered showers from time to time. No severe weather, tornadoes, flooding. Nice and quiet here in the weather office for a while, rather unusual for late March and April.
TOMORROW: I think most of the day will be dry. A weakening band of showers and storms will move into the extreme north part of the state late tomorrow night.
SATURDAY: The front will stall and fizzle out over the Tennessee Valley by Saturday morning. A few widely scattered showers are possible early Saturday, but I still think most places will be dry with morning clouds giving way to afternoon sunshine. Temperatures will soar well into the 70s again.
SUNDAY: The old surface boundary moves north as a warm front. I think any showers Sunday afternoon will be isolated, and mainly over northeast Alabama.
MONDAY: Another storm system moves to the Great Lakes, and a weak front drifts in here with a chance of scattered showers Monday afternoon. Once again, nothing heavy, and no wash-out.
LONG RANGE: The middle of next week should be warm and dry, and then a few showers could show up Friday (April 7) with a weak front.
Thanks to everyone in Gardendale for the great hospitality this morning... I enjoyed speaking to the city employees on severe weather safety! The next map discussion video will be posted by 7:00 a.m. tomorrow.
