Dry March Weather Through Easter Sunday
PLEASANT SPRING DAY: With a partly to mostly sunny sky, temperatures are in the 60s across North Alabama, with 70s over the southern half of the state. Tonight will be fair and cool with a low in the 40s.
TOMORROW THROUGH THE WEEKEND: The weather stays dry with mostly sunny days and fair nights. Highs will be mostly in the 60s tomorrow, followed by a low near 40 degrees early Friday morning. We note some of the colder spots will likely visit the 30s with some potential for scattered light frost. Then, we warm into the 70-75 degree range Friday afternoon.
The weekend will be warm. The high Saturday will be in the upper 70s and low 80s, and temperatures will likely reach or exceed 80 degrees statewide on Easter Sunday.
NEXT WEEK: Monday will stay warm and dry with a high in the low to mid 80s. Showers and a few thunderstorms return to the state late Tuesday, Tuesday night, and into part of the day Wednesday… for now it doesn’t look like a severe storm setup. Dry weather is expected Thursday and Friday with highs back in the upper 60s and low 70s… See the video briefing for maps, graphics, and more details.
ON THIS DATE IN 1994: An EF-4 tornado killed 20 people in the Goshen United Methodist Church in Northeast Alabama (just north of Piedmont, in southern Cherokee County) during the Palm Sunday worship service. A total of 92 were injured. A warning was issued 12 minutes before the tornado destroyed the church building, but unfortunately they never heard the warning. One person was killed by the tornado on Lake Neely Henry, and there was another fatality along U.S. 278 southwest of Goshen. The tornado cut a 50 mile path from Ragland in St. Clair county to the Georgia line.
Later that day, an EF2 tornado moved through North Shelby County; it tornado extensively damaged businesses and mobile homes and caused minor damage to Pelham High School. It dissipated just west of Meadowbrook.
Look for the next video briefing here by 6:00 a.m. tomorrow..
