GOOD AFTERNOON: We weather humans and our semiconductor and software
counterparts got out annual refresher course in the warming powers of the
March sun yesterday. Temperatures on Saturday soared under the effects of a
bright sun, reaching near 70 degrees in most locations across Central
Alabama. The cold front that scooted across the area on Saturday is along
the Gulf Coast this morning. Overnight readings fell into the middle 30s
in most Central Alabama locations last night. Pinson was one of the state's
coldest locations, dropping to just below freezing.

OUR WEATHER: Fair skies greeted the dawn on this Sunday morning across the
state. A fuzzy layer of high clouds had overspread much of the area. Some
stratocumulus clouds were present over South Central Alabama, behind our
cold front. The high clouds have slowed our daytime temperature rise.

SEVERE WEATHER CHANCES: Is a low pressure system over southern Saskatchewan
this afternoon. This is one of those little Alberta Clipper lows that we
have been talking about. It slipped its moorings yesterday and is sliding
southeastward in the upper flow, into the large upper level trough located
over the eastern United States. As the low passes across the Great Lakes
states, it will send a cold front southward toward Alabama. Skies will
quickly become cloudy Monday morning, and showers will begin to pop up
across the area. Instability levels will be sufficient for a line of
thunderstorms to develop ahead of the frontal system. There will also be
enough deep layer shear present to present the possibility of severe
thunderstorms Monday afternoon and evening. A strong squall line is
expected to form over the Arklatex and head eastward Monday afternoon. A
few supercell storms are likely, especially to the west of Alabama Monday
afternoon and evening. These storms will be capable of damaging winds and
possible tornadoes. The Strom Prediction Center has included Alabama in a
Slight Risk Severe Weather Outlook for Monday. Alabama residents should
monitor the latest weather information on Monday.

REST OF THE WEEK: Tuesday should feature clearing and breezy conditions.
A couple of disturbances in the Wednesday-Friday time frame may bring us
chance of showers, but the forecast is a low confidence one at this time.
There had been a brief indication in the GFS last night that cold air and
moisture might briefly mix Friday morning over North Alabama, but that idea
went back into hibernation on the morning run.

ON THIS DATE IN 1954: People in Northwest Florida awoke to a Saturday
morning surprise. Snow! An all night rainstorm changed to snow about 5
a.m. in Pensacola. The snow mostly melted as it fell for the first couple
of hours, but then it began to stick on streets and grassy areas, much to
the delight of local children. Fort Walton Beach, Crestview, Tallahassee
and Niceville all enjoyed dustings of snow. The four inch snowfall at
Milton Experimental Station sets the state all time record for 24 hours and
for a single storm. Pensacola recorded 2.1 inches, a 24 hour record there.
