...Delightful Spring Weather...

Our forecast package will highlight delightful spring weather for Alabama
through the weekend, with sunny mild days and clear cool nights. Daytime
temperatures will peak in the 70s, with early morning lows in the upper 40s.

The storm track for now has shifted well to the north of Alabama, near the
Canadian border, which will keep rain producing systems away for now.
In fact, the dry weather will extend into next week, with rain-free weather
on Monday and Tuesday as well. Moisture begins to return by Wednesday with
an outside chance of an afternoon shower. A few showers are more likely by
Thursday or Friday of next week (April 21-22), but the main part of that
storm system should pass to the north, and rain totals probably won't be all
that heavy across Alabama.

The upper air flow pattern still suggests the weather will drier and warmer
here during the latter half of April, with fewer and less intense storm
systems.

26 YEARS AGO: On this date in 1979, serious river flooding was underway
across much of Alabama. The Black Warrior river surged into downtown
Northport, the Tombigbee River totally covered the Demopolis Lock and Dam,
and the Alabama River produced widespread flooding around Selma.

THE NAME GAME: The 2005 tropical season for the Atlantic basin begins on
June 1; the first tropical storms this year will be named Arlene, Bret,
Cindy, Dennis, Emily, Franklin, Gert, Harvey, Irene, and Jose.

EXTREMES: Hottest places in the nation yesterday were Gila Bend and Casa
Grande, AZ with 94 degrees. Coldest yesterday morning was Truckee, CA and
Ely, NV with 11 degrees.
