Beautiful Weekend Weather
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.
CALM DAYS: In the wake of strong to severe storms that moved across Alabama yesterday, we have a nice period of calm weather in the days ahead. The sky becomes partly to mostly sunny today with a high in the low 70s, right at average values for early April in Alabama. The dry air stays in place over the weekend, and we will forecast sunny mild days and clear cool nights through Sunday with highs in the 70s and lows in the upper 40s. Doesn’t get much better.
NEXT WEEK: A fresh surge of cool air will drop in here Tuesday. While the 00Z GFS isn’t as cold as recent runs, the ECMWF, which has performed very well this season, still shows a cold look for Alabama by early Wednesday with potential for some scattered light frost across the valleys and protected areas of North and Central Alabama. Growers will need to keep an eye on forecasts as we get closer.
The week looks generally dry, although we will probably need to mention a chance of showers and possibly a thunderstorm toward the end of the week as a system approaches from the west, but one that doesn’t look like it will bring a severe weather threat. 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 have a weather program this morning at Tenth Street Elementary in Anniston…. look for the next Weather Xtreme video here by 3:30 or so this afternoon. Enjoy the day!
