GOOD AFTERNOON! Greetings from Universal Studios in Orlando. Today, it is a day of roller coasters and thrill rides for me. Always a kid, I guess...
FREEZE TONIGHT: Every major reporting station across North and Central Alabama was below freezing this morning, with Pinson leading the way in our area at 25F. It was 23F in Fort Payne for the states coldest. The same sprawling high pressure system that has been responsible for this current cold snap will be centered just to our north tonight. As our winds will go calm tonight, and with clear skies, temperatures will flirt with the freezing mark again tonight. The model statistics programs are keeping readings about 5-6 degrees warmer than last night, but with low dewpoints and excellent radiational cooling, growers will have to be vigilant for freezing conditions. Freezing conditions will not be as widespread tonight and we wont see any more for a while.
THE WEEK AHEAD: The warm up will be noticeable tomorrow as southerly winds kick back in across the area. Temperatures will warm into the upper 60s under a warm Spring sun. By Monday evening, high pressure will be stationed over South Carolina with a mild southerly flow bathing the Deep South. A cyclone will be over Iowa, with a cold front trailing back to the Dallas/Ft. Worth area. As this system edges east, showers will edge into North Alabama after midnight.
The front will run out of steam as it moves into North Alabama on Tuesday. You can expect showers and a storm or two then.
An unsettled pattern then develops for the remainder of the week, with a series of disturbances sliding across the area in a southwesterly flow Wednesday and Thursday. A strong low pressure moves into the Upper Midwest Friday, pushing a front our way. This will lead to a round of showers and storms by then.
SNEAK PEEK NEXT WEEKEND: Showers and storms may well continue into Saturday as the front runs into stubborn high pressure.
STRANGE FLIGHT: Did you read the amazing story of Matt Suter of Fordland, Missouri? The teenager was sitting in a chair watching television on the evening of March 12th when a tornado struck his mobile home. When he came to, he was over 1,300 feet away in a pasture. Amazingly, he suffered no serious injuries. Because of his lack of injuries, he apparently was blown the entire way.
According to Tom Grazulis of the Tornado Project, this is the greatest distance that a human has been blown through the air by a tornado and survived.
CHERRY BLOSSOM FORECAST: The celebration of Spring began yesterday in our nations capital. The blossoms were forecast to enter their peak blooming period yesterday through tomorrow, according to the National Park Service. The 94th commemoration of the gift of 3,000 cherry trees from Japan runs for the next two weeks.
SPEAKING OF WASHINGTON D.C.: Varied weather can still happen in late March, as evidenced by the foot of snow that fell in the nations capital on this date in 1891. Up to five inches has fallen as late as March 30-31 there.
