...Active Week Ahead...
GOOD MORNING! March didnt exactly roll in like a lion last week, but things promise to get a lot more active in the coming week as a huge trough of low pressure sets up over the southwestern United States. The Gulf of Mexico will officially open for business for several days and we will enter a wet and stormy weather pattern.
TODAY: But for today, you can expect another nice late winter day. J.B. would remind us that March 1 really is the beginning of meteorological spring, so maybe we should say a nice early spring day. Your call. Anyway, readings should make the middle to upper 60s across the area under a fairly sunny sky. Clouds will thicken overnight as a disturbance passes to our north. It may be accompanied by a few light showers.
THE WEEK AHEAD: Monday will feature clearing skies. Tuesday will be abundantly sunny. Wednesday will really see the Gulf opening up, with a strong southerly flow and rapidly increasing clouds. A few showers, and maybe a thunderstorm could pup up, but the main activity will be to the west of Alabama, where an outbreak of severe weather is possible.
SEVERE THREAT: Ingredients may come together to produce an outbreak of severe weather here in Alabama on Thursday into Thursday night. Even after the first event passes, the Gulf will still be open for business and we could have another event Saturday or Saturday night.
We are now into our primary severe weather season here in North and Central Alabama and this may be our first significant severe weather threat of the new year. Now is a good time to think about your severe weather plans in case we need them this week.
ON THIS DATE IN 2000: A major wildfire over western Dade County Florida southwest of Miami threatened homes as southern Florida continued in its worst drought in 200 years. Rainfall levels over the 3 year drought period were running 5 feet below normal in some locations. The Florida Aquifer, which supplies most of the potable water was reportedly at its lowest level in history.
