Talk about a beautiful spring day. Just got back from speaking to the kids at Mount Olive Elementary School; it just doesn't get much better than this. By the way, there was considerable wind damage up in Mt. Olive; lots of clean up operations going on today. I saw many trees down on homes, and lots of roof damage. Looked like winds in the 70 mph range...
DRY WEEK: Looks like we will enjoy dry weather through the Easter weekend. A system will pass well to the north of here on Wednesday; we might see some scattered clouds but no rain. Temperatures will continue to warm up; we will be in the 80s over the latter half of the week and over the weekend.
We do note a pretty strong negative tilt shortwave coming out across the plains over the weekend; but it looks like that one will head for the Great Lakes and weaken. We might see some rain from that early next week, but for now it doesn't look like a big event.
LONG RANGE: The GFS is hinting at a fairly decent rain event here in the April 22-23 time frame, but confidence is now. Model consistency is not good in the longer range. Nothing really looks like a significant severe weather setup over the next two weeks, but that can change quickly. This is April in Alabama, you know.
Look for the 2nd and 3rd graders from Mt. Olive Elementary on the KIDCAM today on ABC 33/40 News at 5:00! The next map discussion video will be posted by 7:00 a.m. tomorrow.
