GOOD AFTERNOON: There is something powerful about the increasing angle of that March sun out there. It has a tremendous ability to impart warmth to our late winter world. Temperatures were climbing into the 60s across much of the area at early afternoon. The South Central part of Alabama was cooler than northern sections, since dense fog and low clouds up until 11 a.m. gave them a late start on the daytime heating race. At 11 oclock, it was only 48 degrees at Montgomerys Dannelly Field, and well as Maxwell AFB and at Ozark. But by 2 p.m., they had caught up with everyone else.
ON THE WEATHER MAPS: High pressure is centered near the tiny Southeast Alabama town of Ashford this afternoon. Raise your hand if you are from Ashford!
Satellite photos show high clouds streaming into Alabama from parts of Arkansas, Louisiana and Mississippi. The cirrus and cirrostratus clouds re associated with an upper level disturbance over eastern Oklahoma. Return flow around the surface high was pumping moisture up into eastern Texas and western Louisiana, where a deck of low clouds was present. The disturbance was kicking off showers over much of that area.
TONIGHT: Tonight will be some 8-14 degrees warmer than last night across most of the area. Some of the valley locations may slip into the upper 30s, but most locations will only fall into the middle 40s. Skies will be partly cloudy and it will be dry.
SATURDAY/SUNDAY: With mild conditions on tap tomorrow, you might feel the urge to get out the yard equipment, or the boat or the golf clubs. (That is, if you are not heading over to Mississippi State for the Southeast Severe Storms Symposium.) But if the lake is your destination for a little fishing, keep in mind that it will be windy, with westerly winds gusting to over 25 mph.
Temperatures will warm well into the sixties, even as a mostly dry front sweeps across the area. I say mostly dry, because there is a chance there could be a few light showers along the front.
Behind the front, temperatures will drop back into the middle 30s tomorrow night. Sunday will be a nice day, with cool high pressure in control, but that warm late winter sun warming things into the lower 60s again.
WEEK AHEAD: Rain will return on Monday, with embedded storms Monday night. The models have been hinting that rainfall amounts could be a little heavier than earlier thought with this system, so I will up them slightly to an average of about one half inch. The system will move quickly through the area and it will be breezy and cooler Tuesday with clearing skies. Another quick moving system will bring another rain chance late on Wednesday, followed by another system late on Thursday or Friday.
SNOWY INAUGURATION: On this date in 1909, a massive snowstorm buried Washington during President Tafts Inauguration. Fair weather had been forecast by the U.S. Weather Bureau, which led to great criticism of the service. 9.8 inches of snow in the nations capital. Travel and communications were disrupted. It was the largest snowstorm in Inaugural history.
