Turning Warmer This Afternoon

COLD START: Still doesn’t feel like March; temperatures are in the 25-32 degree range in most places with a clear sky. We will enjoy a sunny sky today, and the dry air will heat effectively with a high generally in the mid 50s this afternoon.
WARMING TREND: While tomorrow morning will be cold again with a low near freezing, we warm into the mid 60s tomorrow, and upper 60s Saturday. The air stays dry and the sky will remain sunny.
We note to the west SPC has outlooked parts of Central Texas for severe weather Saturday, but those storms will remain far to the west of Alabama.
Sunday will be dry and very mild; a good chance we reach the low 70s by afternoon. Scattered clouds will show up along with a good south breeze ahead of the storm system to the west.
RAIN RETURNS MONDAY: We will forecast a good chance of showers and thunderstorms Monday; with only limited instability severe weather doesn’t look likely at this point; rain amounts of one-half to one inch can be expected.
The sky clears Tuesday, and the rest of next week looks dry with temperatures about where they should be for mid-March in Alabama. See the Weather Xtreme video for the maps, graphics, and 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.
