Delightful Weekend Ahead; Storms By Monday
An all new edition of the ABC 33/40 Weather Xtreme video is available in the player on the right sidebar of the blog. You can subscribe to the Weather Xtreme video on iTunes by clicking here.
DRY THROUGH SUNDAY: Weather like this sure makes our job easy; we expect mostly sunny mild days and fair nights through Sunday. Today’s high will be in the 75-78 degree range, then we top out close to 80 tomorrow, with low 80s possible Sunday.
To the west, a large “slight risk” severe weather risk is defined Sunday west of Alabama…
EARLY NEXT WEEK: That storm system moves into Alabama with a good chance of rain and thunderstorms Monday, Monday night, and into at least a part of the day Tuesday. The good news is that severe weather parameters are very unimpressive, and at this point we just expect a good rain event with only a minimal severe weather threat. Rain amounts of 1 to 2 inches are likely, so major flooding is not expected, but the rain could be heavy at times.
The rain will end from west to east Tuesday, and noticeably cooler air blows into the state with brisk north winds. Some parts of the Tennessee Valley might have a hard time getting out of the 50s Tuesday afternoon.
Wednesday morning will be cold; it is likely we will see 30s in many areas, and again there is potential for frost across the colder valleys. Growers once again will need to monitor temperature forecasts.
Thursday and Friday of next week look dry with a warming trend. See the Weather Xtreme video for the maps, graphics, and details.
