ARE YOU READY FOR SOME BASEBALL? Are you ready for some baseball? Major
League Baseball kicks off its 162 game regular season Sunday night with a
game between the Indians and White Sox and follows it up with several games
on Monday starting around noon. And what a great week weather wise for the
start of baseball...

EXTREME MAKEOVER: My forecast package requires an "Extreme Makeover" this
morning. The front that brought us the showers and storms last night is
still with us, draped across North Central Alabama. Showers and even a few
thunderstorms were ongoing across eastern sections, roughly from Jefferson
County on east along I-20 early this morning. Those showers and storms will
continue to sink slowly southward today. Areas south of I-20 will
experience decent chances of rain and storms today, while areas behind the
boundary will be mainly dry. Clouds may hang tough for the better part of
the day, with the best chances for seeing a little sun increasing as you
head northwestward. Temperatures will climb back into the middle to upper
70s for the most part.

TONIGHT: The front should continue to lose steam as it presses further
south. Showers and storms should die out over South Central Alabama this
evening with most areas experiencing a quiet night precipitation wise.
Overnight readings will be centered around 60-62 degrees.

SUNDAY: Tomorrow will start off gray as low clouds and fog form once again
overnight tonight. But the sun should make an appearance earlier and the
mercury will soar nicely in the lower 80s in many locations. The airmass
over the state will be a little unstable tomorrow, so showers and storms
will be scattered across the area.

NEXT SYSTEM: Another in a series of low pressure systems will pass to our
north late tomorrow and Monday. This will brush a front across the area
starting late tomorrow night. We will see another round of showers and
storms at that time. Temperatures will be in the 70s on Monday. It looks
like drier and cooler air will arrive starting Monday night, with some spots
seeing the 40s Monday night.

WEATHER ALERT: Tuesday looks like a nice day with lots of sunshine. But
temperatures in the overnight model runs look to be cooler that expected
earlier, so we will buy this idea and lower readings in that time frame.
The sun is pretty much undefeated this time of year, however, so I would
look for the mercury to rebound a bit more than those bytes and bits expect,
so we might get to issue a Perfect Weather Warning for Wednesday and perhaps
Thursday. Next rain chance: Friday.

ON THIS DATE IN 1997: Mother Nature played a cruel April Fools' Day joke on
the Northeast. A cold rain changed over to heavy wet snow in eastern
Massachusetts as cold air filled in behind a storm system. Boston recorded
25.4 inches of snow, their greatest 24 hours total ever. There have been
bigger snowstorms, but not bigger 24 hour totals. If it had not been for
several changeovers from snow to rain during the event, the total might have
well been over three feet. Trees were already beginning to leaf out and the
heavy, wet snow caused thousands of them to fall.
