Alabama 811 | Know What's Below.

Cool Weekend Ahead

| February 24, 2012 @ 3:25 pm

**No afternoon Weather Xtreme video today**

ACTIVE WEATHER TO THE EAST: Big storms continue over the eastern third of the U.S. this afternoon, where tornado watches are in effect… here is one of them…

TURNING COLDER: The sky will clear across Alabama this evening, and by daybreak tomorrow we will be down in the 32-35 degree range with a fair sky and light wind. This will kick off a dry but cool weekend.

TOMORROW AND SUNDAY: We expect maximum available sunshine tomorrow with a high between 56 and 60 degrees. Sunday morning will be cold again with a low in the 30s, but we rise into the low 60s by afternoon with a partly sunny sky.

NEXT WEEK: The 12Z GFS looks pretty dry Monday, and we turn warmer with a high up in the mid 60s. Then, we warm up in a big way through mid-week; the latest MOS is printing a high of 70 for Tuesday, and 80 for Wednesday. Showers will begin to form Tuesday, but the main rain/storm day will be Wednesday, and with a high near 80 needless to say we will have to monitor that one for signs of severe weather potential as we get closer.

And, still no sign of any major late season cold snaps through the next 15 days. You can see the morning Weather Xtreme video for more details and graphics.

WEATHER BRAINS: Don’t forget you can listen to our weekly 90 minute netcast anytime on the web, or on iTunes. This is the show all about weather featuring many familiar voices, including our meteorologists here at ABC 33/40.

CONNECT: You can find me on all of the major social networks…
