...Sunny But Cooler...

Sunshine returns to Alabama today, but temperatures will be cooler. Most
spots will see highs in the low 60s today, about five degrees below normal.
The mercury will drop into the mid to upper 30s by daybreak tomorrow.

Clouds return during the day tomorrow, and some rain should reach the state
tomorrow night as a significant storm system gets its act together west of
Alabama.

GOOD SOAKING: Rain will become widespread on Sunday as the system gets
closer. The northern half of the state should remain in the cool sector of
the storm on Sunday with temperatures holding steady somewhere between 50
and 55 degrees as the rain falls.

Rain and storms are likely Monday of next week (spring break week for
Alabama school kids), and that rain could be heavy at times. At the moment
we don't expect a major severe weather threat due to limited instability.
Some flooding problems could develop, however, and rain amounts from
Saturday night through Monday night should be in the 2 to 4 inch range.

Colder air spills into the state over the middle part of next week. A little
lingering light rain is possible early Tuesday, but Wednesday and Thursday
should be cool and dry.

THE LONG RANGE: Looks like, generally speaking, temperatures will remain
below normal for the rest of March. It might be mid-April before we see low
80s again.

HODGEPODGE: Hottest spot in the nation yesterday was Laredo, Texas with 92
degrees. The mountains of Arizona are expecting 10 to 20 inches of snow this
weekend. Heavy snow is also likely over parts of Utah, Colorado, and
Nebraska from this late season winter storm.
