UPDATE---3:30 pm Saturday

A few short notes...

.....Heading out to drive down to ABC 33/40 to get started on a 24-hour no-sleep marathon. Had to get used to those during 40+ years of weather work. It comes with the territory. Will do some more posting from there.

.....Still nothing going on in North Alabama, including the Birmingham Metro area...thunderstorms down over south and SW Alabama working their way north.

.....Still our greatest danger in this area is tonight and Sunday. Line of viscious thunderstorms will move eastward from Louisiana and Mississippi tonight increasing our potential for possible tornadoes. Timing is difficult but it could be late tonight for B'ham area, maybe even after midnight. However, other storms before then may give problems.

.....early morning hours Easter Sunday will probably be dangerous also, then calming down somewhat by mid morning, only to have more severe thunderstorms and possible tornadoes Sunday afternoon.

......Should caution that this time line could get out of phase.

.....Tornado watch continues for South 1/3 of Alabama until 9 tonight. It is described as a particularly dangerous situation.

......headed out...hope there are no speeders on 459.
