Warm Weather Continues

http://beta.abc3340.com/weather/video.hrb

Very little precipitation occurring across the United States on this Saturday morning. Temperatures across Central Alabama ranged from the mid 50s to the mid 60s, so another beautiful spring day for us to enjoy. And it looks like we'll continue to enjoy that great weather into next week as the main storm track continues well north of Alabama.

With a surface low passing north of the state on Easter Sunday, we'll see breezy conditions as the pressure gradient tightens up. But the gradient relaxes on Monday as the low moves out into the Atlantic Ocean.

A series of disturbances move across the country during the middle and latter part of the week, but these are generally too far north to have any major impact on our weather other than some passing clouds. Toward the end of the week, moisture increases with scattered showers possible. And by the weekend, the GFS model this morning develops a upper ridge to our west bringing a northwesterly flow to Alabama and the Southeast. This should modify our warm days and drop temperatures a bit - at least back toward normal instead of the 10+ degrees above normal that we've experienced over the last couple of days.

Long range GFS projections keep the main storm track north, but it is just mid April so I would not expect that pattern to continue indefinitely. We are still in our primary severe weather season, so the storm track could adjust.

The next web video map discussion will come on Monday morning around 7 am when James Spann returns.

I hope you and your families have a wonderful Easter weekend.
