Cool, Dry Weekend Ahead
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.
THIS AFTERNOON: It is a day of blue sky and sunshine for Alabama. Temperatures are in the 50s at 2:00.
OUR WEEKEND: A disturbance riding down the upper trough over the eastern U.S. will bring some scattered clouds into our state tomorrow, but the low levels will be very dry and there won’t be any precipitation. Sunday will feature a sunny sky; the high both days should be in the 50s. Look for a freeze early Sunday with a low somewhere between 28 and 32 degrees for most places.
NEXT WEEK: Monday and Tuesday will stay rain-free with a good supply of sunshine both days and a warming trend with highs back in the 60s. The 12Z GFS hints that a few showers could show up as early as Wednesday, with a better chance of showers and possibly a thunderstorm by Wednesday night and Thursday. This run is weaker than last night’s 00Z run, and suggests no severe weather or really heavy rain. We do note this run shows much colder air blowing into the state the following weekend (Feb 4-5), but other runs have not looked that cold.
THE LAND OF VOODOO: All of a sudden this run shows a very cold look for the Deep South in the Feb 10-12 timeframe, but with the ensembles still showing a positive NAO, I wouldn’t be surprised if that goes away in future runs. 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…
Be looking for the 1st graders at Brookwood Forest Elementary in Mountain Brook on the Pepsi KIDCAM today at 5:00 on ABC 33/40 News… Brian Peters will have the video updates tomorrow and Sunday; my next Weather Xtreme video will come up early Monday morning by 7:00 a.m. Enjoy the weekend!
