The Monday morning web update is on the server:

I am not a big fan of Daylight Saving Time... I have written about this many times over the years. Guess the biggest issue is that when my alarm clock goes off at 4:52 a.m... my body knows the time is REALLY 3:52 a.m. And, no human should have to wake up at that hour. I am tired more often during DST... I can't wait until I get that hour back in the fall.
The other big issue is that the computer models run on GMT, so the bottom line is that we get model data one hour LATER during DST, which tends to foul up our forecast cycles a bit.
But.... on to weather issues...
We will enjoy a picture perfect spring day today, with ample sunshine and temperatures well into the 70s. Tomorrow should be a nice day as well, but another storm system will arrive on Wednesday.
All of Alabama is in a slight risk for severe weather on Wednesday. At first glance, it looks like a fairly decent setup, with a deep upper low northwest of the state, with a somewhat negative tilt trough extending to the southeast of the upper air low. Once we get within 48 hours of an event we will have a pretty good idea of the main nature of the threat, so we will be able to tell you much more tomorrow morning.
The upper low doesn't much much on Thursday, so we will maintain the chance of some scattered light rain with cooler temperatures.
The weekend ahead looks very nice with ample sunshine and mild temperatures.
I really don't see anything that poses a major severe weather threat for Alabama in the following 7 days after Wednesday's system, but as we all know that could change in a heartbeat this time of the year.
Looks like a busy week at the Little League ball parks... all of our games were rained out last week, so we try again tonight!
