...Dry and Cool Again Today...

A nice warm-up is likely for Alabama today. We will begin the day with
temperatures in the low to mid 30s and a blanket of frost in most places,
but by afternoon we should see upper 60s with ample sunshine statewide.

A weak weather system will bring some clouds to the state tomorrow, and
there is chance of scattered light rain tomorrow night as a cold front
passes through. With very limited moisture, amounts should be under a
quarter of an inch.

On Friday the sky becomes partly sunny as a fresh supply of cool and dry air
moves in.

THE WEEKEND: At this point Saturday looks cool and dry, but rain will return
on Sunday as a warm front moves northward through Alabama. Sunday could be a
cool day for the northern half of the state, with temperatures holding in
the 50s north of the warm front.

Monday of next week, there is a chance that we could get in the warm sector
of the developing storm system. If that happens, we might have the risk of
strong to severe thunderstorms. One way or another, the beginning of spring
break week looks wet all across the Deep South.

The rest of next week will feature below normal temperatures across much of
the eastern and southern U.S. I doubt if we see 80s again until sometime in
April.

RAIN UPDATE: The rain total for the year at the Birmingham International
Airport is now 16.60", which is 4.24" above normal.

ROAMING: Warmest spots in the nation yesterday were all in Florida;
Hollywood, Pembroke Pines, Stuart, and West Palm Beach all reached 88
degrees. The coming weekend looks wet for Phoenix, and it should be their
second rain event in 7 days after 143 days with no rain.
