Long Dry Spell

The Wednesday morning map discussion video is on the server:

Still kooks like we stay dry through the Easter weekend, and probably into the first two days of next week. Pretty amazing for April in Alabama.

A system is passing well to the north today; we will call it partly sunny with highs in the upper 70s. Any showers should remain well to the north of the state.

Tomorrow and Friday will be warm and dry as temperatures reach or exceed 80 degrees.

Pretty much the same story for the weekend; partly to mostly sunny with highs up in the mid 80s, about ten degrees above normal for mid-April.

While we enjoy the calm weather, any severe weather problems will be well to our north; a compact but potent system will bring the risk of strong to severe storms this weekend to the central plains over to the Great Lakes.

LONG RANGE: There is some hint at some rain here toward the middle of next week; followed by the development of a long wave eastern U.S. trough. This could mean cooler temperatures in about 7 to 10 days. Beyond that, still nothing that really catches our attention in terms of severe weather or heavy rain threats through the end of April. Enjoy the quiet weather while we have it!

I sure hope today is a better day for me; I was stuck in an I-20 traffic mess for hours yesterday trying to get to Saks Elementary School... I never made it. Today I will be speaking to the kids at Christ Church pre-school on Caldwell Mill Road. That isn't far from the ABC 33/40 studio... I can walk if there is a traffic blow-up again. I will also be swinging by Edgewood Elementary today in Homewood.

The next map discussion video will be posted by 3:30 this afternoon!

Ummm.. Alan... if you mean Comfortably Numb by Pink Floyd, then you are correct sir.

I have a story about that song, but since it deals with drugs and alcohol, I won't post it on this family oriented board.

(hey, we ALL have a past...ok?)
