Gorgeous Saturday Afternoon

| March 16, 2013 @ 2:41 pm

The best and warmest weather we have seen in 2013 thus far. In the weather industry this is what we call a chamber of commerce day. This kind of weather is hard to beat. Abundant sunshine is allowing for temperatures to warm into the 70s across the state. The last weekend official weekend of winter feels like mid-spring. This weather will continue tomorrow but things will be changing. A look at the latest visible satellite image this afternoon shows nothing but severe clear along the Interstate 20 corridor. Clouds are few and far between and the closest widespread clouds to us are in Kentucky. Sunny, warm and breezy conditions across the state today.

A quick look at the current surface temperatures show the warmth has spread all across the Southeast. Notice the temperate gradient to our north across and nearly parallel to the Ohio River. That boundary could be the focal point of some showers and thunderstorms later today and into tomorrow. Very warm air in place and some places in the Carolinas and Texas are flirting with the 90s. In fact yesterday out in West Texas, numerous locations made it into the 90s. For today across Alabama, most locations should stay in the 70s even though a few places could flirt with 80. Truly a beautiful and gorgeous Saturday across the South.
