Just A Few Flurries Late Tonight
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.
RADAR CHECK: Widespread rain continues along the Central Gulf Coast this afternoon, but the northern half of the state is dry.
Light rain is possible up to U.S. 80 this evening (Demopolis to Selma to Montgomery to Opelika), but our end of the state will remain dry.
LATE TONIGHT: A disturbance in the northern brach of the jet stream will bring the chance of a few snow flurries or patches of drizzle to North Alabama after midnight, but it will be another “no impact” situation as the precipitation will be very light and spotty. Flurries/drizzle will end by 8:00 a.m.
Tomorrow will be breezy and colder with a high in the mid 40s along with gradual clearing. A north wind of 10-20 mph will make it feel raw. By Friday morning, most communities will see a low down in the mid 20s… some of the colder valleys could reach the upper teens.
FRIDAY AND THE WEEKEND: A warming trend begins Friday afternoon… with sunshine in full supply we reach the mid 50s. Then, the weekend will be very comfortable with low 60s Saturday afternoon, and mid 60s Sunday. Saturday will feature a mostly sunny sky, and on Sunday we will enjoy sunshine through scattered clouds. Looks like we can drop that slight risk of a shower Sunday afternoon.
NEXT WEEK: A clipper/cold front combination will bring the chance of some light rain at times Monday, but amounts should be generally 1/4″ or less. Then, Tuesday and Wednesday will be dry with seasonal temperatures; highs in the 50s and lows in the 30s.
Still no sign of any real long lasting, bitterly cold air for Alabama through mid-month. See the Weather Xtreme video for maps, graphics, and more details.
FIRST ALERT STORM TEAM TOUR: Our annual severe weather awareness tour across Alabama rolls along; we will be in Cedar Bluff tomorrow evening. Just drop by anytime from 4:00 until 6:30… you can watch me do weather live on ABC 33/40, get some free stuff to take home, and have a chance to win several NOAA Weather Radios we will be giving away. If you need your weather radio programmed or checked, bring it by and we will be glad to help.
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…
