Cooler, Calm Days
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 AIR MOVING IN: While clouds linger across our state this morning, we expect the sky to become mostly sunny later today as dry air takes over in the wake of the upper trough that brought the rain and storms to our state yesterday. The weather will be cooler with high in the mid to upper 50s.
DRY WEEKEND: Dry air stays in place over the weekend. A disturbance passing north of Alabama will bring a few clouds to North Alabama tomorrow, but Sunday will feature sunshine in full supply. The high tomorrow will be in the upper 50s, followed by mid 50s Sunday. And, we go below the freezing mark at daybreak Sunday with a low between 27 and 32. This will be our first morning below freezing since January 19.
NEXT WEEK: The weather will be dry Monday and Tuesday with a warming trend. We will mention just a slight risk of a shower late Wednesday; the latest GFS shows a decent system arriving Thursday with the next chance of showers and thunderstorms. The 06Z GFS shows thunderstorm potential, but not a classic severe weather setup. Cooler air follows by Friday.
LONG RANGE: Still no sign of any really long lasting cold weather, or snow/ice potential for the next 15 days as the NAO stays positive. See the Weather Xtreme video for details.
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…
I had a wonderful time last night; I was the speaker at the Greenville (AL) Chamber of Commerce banquet down in Butler County. I lived there through 4th grade; it was great to see so many old friends, including Mayor Dexter McLendon, my old first grade pal. Look for the next Weather Xtreme video here by 3:30 this afternoon. Enjoy the day!
