After a wonderful day today, our weather will change in a big way over the weekend. Be sure and scroll down to read J.B.'s list of low temperatures this morning.
TOMORROW: I still think most of the day tomorrow will be dry. Can't rule out an afternoon shower, but most of the rain will come after dark. Highs should be in the mid 70s in most spots with a mix of sun and clouds.
TOMORROW NIGHT: Rain should increase, especially after midnight. A thunderstorm is possible, but there will be very little instability.
SUNDAY: We will continue to forecast periods of rain during the day. There continues to be a chance of mass of rain and storms over the Gulf coast will block the good inflow of moist air into the northern half of the state; if this happens then rain will be light and spotty on Sunday. Otherwise, it could rain at any time.
The temperature forecast on Sunday is problematic. The GFS continues to show a wedge of cool air moving in from the east and shows a high of only 61 for Birmingham on Sunday. The NAM isn't on that bandwagon; that model has 73 for Birmingham on Sunday. We will pretty much split the difference in our forecast over on the seven day page, but I have a gut feeling the GFS has a good handle on the wedge and it might be correct. If that is the case, some places near the Georgia border like Heflin and Wedowee will hold in the upper 50s all day. Downright chilly for late April.
EARLY NEXT WEEK: The chance of a shower Monday is fairly small, so if the Aaron's 499 has to be moved to Monday I don't think weather will be a problem. Looks like the best chance of rain over the first half of the week will come Tuesday night with a passing front.
LATE NEXT WEEK: Looks like a good round of rain and storms at the end of next week, around Friday May 5. The GFS is suggesting dry weather for the following weekend (May 6-7).
Some big storms right now out in West Texas where tornado watches are up and a moderate risk of severe weather is in place... but nice and quiet here in our weather office. My next map discussion video will be posted bright and early Monday morning by 7:00 a.m.... have a great weekend!

Is Joshua alive and well, using his God-given ability to make the sun stand still to ensure that the night is longer than the day?
Thanks for the unintentional giggle. You guys do a fantastic job.
