...Some Clouds, but Not Much Rain...

Clouds will move into Alabama today in advance of a cold front, which will
bring in a fresh supply of cool and dry air tomorrow. We will maintain the
chance of a few sprinkles this evening, but many Alabama communities won't
have enough rain to measure.

Tomorrow should be a sunny day, but a cool day as the mercury struggles to
reach 60 degrees.

WEEKEND PREVIEW: More quick changes for the weekend. Clouds return on
Saturday, and some rain should arrive Saturday night in advance of a strong
storm system over the western half of the nation. Sunday looks like a cool
and wet day statewide with periods of rain, and temperatures only in the low
50s.

Rain and a few thunderstorms are likely on Monday of next week as the main
system approaches. For now, it seems unlikely that we will get in the true
"warm sector" of the storm, so severe weather isn't expected. Rainfall
amounts in the Sunday/Monday time frame should be pretty generous, in the 1
to 3 inch range.

REST OF SPRING BREAK: The weather should be dry and cool on Tuesday and
Wednesday. There is a great deal of uncertainty concerning the weather at
the end of the week; some of the models are suggesting a storm system with a
cold rain; others are simply showing a shot of cold air. One way or another,
don't look for any low 80s around here next week (or at the beach).
Temperatures should be cooler than normal all across the southern U.S.

ROAMING: The warmest spot in the nation yesterday was Fort Myers, FL with
85. Spring "officially" arrives at the vernal equinox, which comes at 12:26
p.m. CST on Monday March 20. This is when the sun is directly over the
equator.
