==================================================================

GOOD AFTERNOON: Today’s forecast comes to you from beautiful Fort Myers, Florida, spring training home of the Boston Red Sox.

CHILLY START: Winds stayed up just a bit overnight, preventing a widespread freeze. Still, many locations did make it below freezing. Readings may be a degree or two colder tonight and a freeze warning is in effect for much of the area. Protect any tender vegetation.

OUR FORECAST: Tomorrow should be a carbon copy of today for the most part, except that daytime highs will run a couple of degrees warmer than today. So expect lots of sunshine. The surface high will slide east of us by Monday, allowing for southerly winds to return and the warm up will begin. Readings will be in the 60s Monday and we should see 70s for most of the remainder of the week. A system will pass to our north on Tuesday, allowing showers to begin late Monday night, lasting into most of Tuesday. There might be a little thunders thrown in just to remind us it is Spring, but nothing major. The weather will remain unsettled Wednesday and Thursday, with showers possible both days.

SEVERE WEATHER LATE IN WEEK: Looks like a significant chance for severe weather across eastern Texas, eastern Oklahoma, northwestern Louisiana and Arkansas on Thursday as a major storm system moves across the Plains states. Looks like that system will be pushing a line of showers and storms our way early on Friday. Hopefully, it will come through at the least favorable time of the day for severe weather.

SPECIAL WEATHER BRAINS GUEST: This week’s edition of our Weather Brains podcast will be one you will be certainly want to hear. More later…

FAMOUS TORNADO FORECAST = SECOND HALF: For the second time in less than a week, Tinker Air Force Base in Oklahoma City was struck by a tornado rated F3 on the Fujita scale. This time 35 aircraft were destroyed and damage totaled 6 million dollars. The first tornado back on the 20th hit without warning but this second tornado was predicted by Major Ernest J. Fawbush and Air Force Captain Robert C. Miller of the United States Air Force and their accurate tornado forecast ushered in the modern era of severe weather forecasting. This first tornado forecast was instrumental in advancing the nation's commitment to protecting the American public and military resources from the dangers caused by natural hazards.

HAIL DAY: Three of the costliest hailstorms ever to hit the United States occurred on this date.
In 1992, the Orlando area was barraged by hailstones that may have been as much as four inches in diameter (larger than baseballs.) The largest officially reported stone was 3 inches in diameter, but observers reported that significant melting had already occurred by the time the measurement was taken. The storm caused sixty million dollars worth of damage. The important nursery industry was decimated in parts of Lake and Orange Counties as thousands of panes of glass were destroyed in greenhouses.

In 1993, the worst hailstorm ever observed in Austin, Texas occurred as hailstones up to two inches (larger than golf balls) pounded the city. Sixty people were injured as they scrambled for cover. Damage totaled $75 million.

In 1995, the first of tree major hailstorms that would affect the Dallas/Fort Worth area during the Spring pounded Dallas County with 3 inch stones.

Damage totaled $80 million. Of course, on May 5th, an even worse hailstorm struck Fort Worth as the annual Mayfest celebration was going on in Trinity Park, attended by 10,000 people. Baseball sized hail injured a total of 109 people. Damage totaled an inconceivable $1.3 billion.

...Quiet; Cool Weekend...

GOOD MORNING: Greetings from Orlando. Got to squeeze out a short spring break weekend after all. That meant a glorious spring training baseball game yesterday at Osceola County Stadium in Kissimmee between the Astros and the Detroit Tigers. We had great seats in the front row just beyond the third base dugout. Nothing beats a spring training game for the proximity to the players, the weather and the relaxed feel of the crowd. Loved it.

TODAY: Today will be a sunny and cool day with a breezy north wind. Highs will top out in the middle 50s, some 15 degrees or so below normal.

FREEZE WARNING TONIGHT: For the third straight morning, temperatures will drop below freezing across a good bit of the area. For most spots, tomorrow morning will be the coldest of the current cold snap, with lows averaging 30 degrees. Growers and people who have plants that will be sensitive to the cold should protect the tender vegetation.

OUR FORECAST: Sunny and cool conditions will prevail again tomorrow. Things will begin to warm up on Monday, with highs moving back into the 60s. A slight chance of showers will return Monday night as our next storm system approaches. Tuesday will feature a chance of a shower or storm. Temperatures will warm back into the 70s for midweek.

BAHAMAS WEATHER CONFERENCE: The tenth annual Bahamas Weather Conference was held March 8-12 on Grand Bahama Island. Top experts on hurricane spoke during the event. You can actually view excerpts by visiting the site http://www.bahamaswxconference.com. I will summarize some of the material presented in this weekend’s versions of Weather Talk.

ON THIS DATE IN 1901: As many as 20 or more people were killed by an F3 tornado that moved across parts of Birmingham The twister cut a 15 mile path from the south side of the city across to Avondale and then to Irondale. I will post a link an item in the online digital collection of the Birmingham Public Library in a separate Weather Talk story.

==================================================================

A VERY CHILLY WEEKEND: Especially for late March. It just ought to not be this cold. We also will have to deal with a light freeze for the next three nights. We are forecasting an average low of 31 across Central Alabama tonight and we expect about 29 early Sunday morning, which would be our coldest morning. The colder valleys could drop as low as 25 or 26 especially Sunday morning.

Clouds have been moving down across NE Alabama at times today. That will continue tonight. We will have some clouds at times here in the central part of the state, but overall mostly fair. We look for more sun than clouds Saturday, Sunday and most of Monday. Moderating temperatures can be expected early in the week with highs in the 60s Monday and Tuesday.

OUR NEXT RAIN: Does not look like a big event, but all of the votes point to Tuesday for a chance of showers and possibly a thunderstorm.

LAST NIGHT’S CHILL: The coldest temperature we could find in Alabama this morning was 23 at Belle Mina. Here are a few other lows:

24 in Hamilton
28 in Russellville and Cottondale
30 in Jasper, Huntsville, Albertville, Heflin
31 in Decatur, Clanton and Birmingham
33 in Livingston, Inverness, Tuscaloosa
35 in Montgomery

WEEKEND AT THE BEACH: For your last minute dash to Gulf Shores for the end of Spring Break, the mornings will be chilly and the afternoons cool Saturday and Sunday. Highs between 62 and 65 with early morning lows in the upper 30s. Not a good time to play in the water.

FRIDAY FINAL THOUGHTS: Gatlinburg got little or no snow overnight, but 5 inches accumulated atop Mt. LeConte and 3 inches on Newfound Gap in the Great Smokies...today’s snow analysis by the NWS shows an estimated 31% of the country with a snow cover. That is a lot for this late in the season and that pertains only to the lower 48 states...one of the deepest snow reports was 188 inches at Swift Creek, Wyoming...87 at Marathon, Florida was
yesterday’s warmest...2 below at Valentine, Nebraska was the coldest in the lower 48 this morning.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: An overload of excitement for Little Miss Molly in the last 24 hours...two visits by a salesman yesterday and four service technicians were here for several hours installing our new air conditioning system. Miss Molly thought she was supposed to be the star attraction to everybody...all of the air conditioning people loved Miss Molly, especially Preston Kolb, the supervisor. He and Molly bonded right away...then a pizza delivery young lady who has three dogs of her own, loved Molly...early this morning, the grass cutters were here for the first time this season. Anytime you crank up a lawn mower, vacuum cleaner or garbage disposal, Little Miss Molly heads for one of her safe places…she immediately came in my office, tried to jump up in my chair on the way to the top of my desk. She knows that I will cuddle her and try to calm her down. Life goes on with all its ups and downs. Nothing like life.

...A Chilly Weekend Ahead...

Once again unseasonably cool weather headlines our forecast today. Our
forecast high of 54 is exactly 15 degrees below normal for March 24. The sky
should partly sunny in the wake of a system that brought a few sprinkles to
the state yesterday. There were even some snow flakes and ice pellets over
Marion and Lamar counties in northwest Alabama for a brief time yesterday
afternoon as surface temperatures dipped into the upper 30s.

THE WEEKEND: Cool and dry weather will continue through the weekend, with
mostly sunny days and clear nights. Highs will stay in the 50s, and a light
freeze is likely both tomorrow and Sunday morning.

NEXT RAIN: We will continue to mention a chance of showers by Tuesday next
week, but with limited moisture and dynamics we don't expect a big rain
event or a severe weather threat. Temperatures will be warmer next week;
highs rise into the 60s on Monday and Tuesday, and we have a chance of
reaching the low 70s by Wednesday afternoon.

ROAMING: A heavy snow warning remains in effect for the East Tennessee
mountains this morning, where 4 to 6 inches of snow is likely about 3,000
feet. The higher peaks will see even more. Honolulu, Hawaii was soaked with
1.28" of rain yesterday. The warmest place in the nation was Marathon, FL
with 87 degrees.

TV WEATHER SPECIAL: Join us for our Storm Alert 2006 TV special Sunday
evening from 6:00 until 7:00 p.m. on ABC 33/40. If you missed our annual
weather tour across the state last month, you will have the chance to see

both parents and five siblings in the March 21, 1932 outbreak.

==================================================================

WAY TOO COOL FOR MARCH: Especially for late March. Tonight's low
temperatures will be about 10 degrees colder than normal and today's highs
were running about 13 degrees too low.

A disturbance moving through tonight will keep us mostly cloudy for
much of the night. There has been some precipitation, but most of it has
evaporated before reaching the ground. Nevertheless, we could see some
sprinkles and maybe a patch or two of light rain tonight, mostly during the
evening.

After that it is clear sailing for some dry weather all the way
through Monday. Our next decent chance of rain will come on Tuesday when we
will have some showers and maybe some thunderstorms move through. It does
not appear to be a big event at this time.

After tonight's cloud cover, we will have more sun than clouds all
the way through Monday. Every night is going to be flirting with freezing
temperatures through Saturday night. Our lowest temperature should be about
30 early Sunday morning. Don't be surprised to hear of some 27 to 30
temperatures in the colder valleys of North and East Alabama.

That is what happened last night. Here is a short list of some low
temperatures:

27 in Black Creek with light to moderate frost
29 in Mentone and Crossville
30 in Cullman
31 in Pinson
34 at Birmingham Airport
35 in Anniston
37 in Tuscaloosa

WEEKEND AT THE BEACH: Some folks may still be going down to the
beach for the end of Spring Break. Unusually chilly for late March with lows
for the next four nights in the upper 30s and highs in the low to mid 60s.
Generally dry.

SNOW FOR THE GREAT SMOKIES: The NWS in Knoxville upgraded the snow
forecast for the great Smoky Mountains to a Heavy Snow Warning for tonight
through tomorrow afternoon. Total accumulation from the storm was expected
to be from 4 to 7 inches. Most of the heavier accumulation should be in the
higher elevations, but even down low places like Cades Cove, Pigeon Forge
and Gatlinburg will have accumulations.

USA NOTES: Miami had 90 Wednesday for the USA high...it was zero
this morning in Hettinger, North Dakota and at the Vail Ski Patrol in
Colorado where there was 87 inches of snow on the ground...32 below at Point
Lay, Alaska this morning...still 24 inches of snow on the ground at Loretto,
Nebraska.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: A real mixed up day for Little Miss
Molly. She is sort of set in her ways and she reacts to any changes. She
loves people. I had at least 5 or 6 ballgames with her today already. Then,
a salesman came by for 45 minutes followed almost immediately by the air
conditioning people for a routine checkup for the summer. She, of course,
wanted to be in the midst of all the activity. Shut her up in the master
bedroom for a time. She objects greatly to that. It is like an insult. We
will play some more this afternoon and tonight and try to get her back to
normal. Life goes on.

...Clouds, but not much rain...

Clouds will move into Alabama today, but the chance of measurable rain looks
relatively small due to very dry air near the surface. This will be one of
those days where you see lots of rain on radar, but most of it will
evaporate before reaching the ground. Where sprinkles do reach the ground,
it probably won't be enough to get the pavement wet.

The sky will clear late tonight, and a fresh supply of cool, dry air moves
in here tomorrow. Temperatures will remain a good 15 degrees below normal
through the weekend, and each morning (through Sunday) we will have the
chance of a light freeze and some frost. For now it looks like Saturday
morning might be the coldest, with the mercury dipping into the 26 to 32
degree range for most communities.

NEXT WEEK: Still looks like our next chance of showers or storms will come
on Tuesday of next week. The latest model output continues to suggest that
this won't be a very strong system, and severe weather is not likely.
Looks like temperatures will finally have a chance of getting to normal
levels for late March toward the middle of next week. The normal high for
Birmingham today (March 23) is 68, and the normal low 44.

PRIME TIME: Don't forget our Storm Alert 2006 TV special this Sunday from
6:00 until 7:00 on ABC 33/40. The feature story is about a man who survived
a tornado on March 21, 1932, during Alabama's greatest severe weather
outbreak. While he was only four at the time, Jack Latham recalls the event
like it was yesterday. He lost both parents and five brothers and sisters in
the storm. There are other great Alabama weather stories in the show; don't
miss it!

...An Early Spring Chill in the Air...

We are forecasting a high this afternoon of 54 degrees, which is 14 degrees
below normal for March 22. That is the type of early spring chill we will
deal with for the rest of the week across Alabama and the Deep South. Highs
in the mid 50s, lows in the low 30s will be the general idea for the next
three to four days. Most mornings we will have the potential for a light
freeze and frost.

The good news is that we will enjoy a good deal of sunshine today.

Clouds return tomorrow in advance of a rather strong upper air system, but
with hardly any low level moisture to work with, rain over the northern half
of the state will be hard to find. We will mention the chance of a few
sprinkles tomorrow for areas south of Birmingham, but the best chance of
measurable rain will come south of Montgomery. Sunshine returns in full
force on Friday as that system moves on to the east.

THE WEEKEND: Lots of sunshine is expected on Saturday and Sunday, with a
slow warming trend. Highs will remain in the 50s on Saturday, but there is a
good chance we will reach the 60s Sunday afternoon.

NEXT RAIN: At this point it looks like the next chance of rain will come
around Tuesday of next week, with a band of showers and thunderstorms along
a cold front. For now the models don't suggest any serious severe weather
threat with that feature, but it is a long way away.

RAIN SURPLUS: Birmingham's rain total for 2006 so far is up to 19.10", over
five inches above normal (+5.28").

FLORIDA HEAT: Tallahassee, Florida soared to 91 degrees yesterday, and was
the hottest spot in the nation along with Vero Beach and West Palm Beach,
both also in Florida.

==================================================================

DEFINITELY NOT SPRING-LIKE: The chill is with us for a while. Your
thermometer may not even see the 60-degree mark until about next Sunday. Not
only will the days be chilly, but we are going to be courting some freezing
temperatures for several nights in a row Thursday through Saturday.

Only thing that is keeping us from dropping to near freezing tonight
will be an influx of clouds and brisk NW winds. While we have seen quite a
bit of sunshine today, a wide band of clouds was spreading south from
Arkansas and Tennessee and will keep us mostly cloudy overnight. There is
some scattered light rain in these clouds, which is also a surge of colder
air. We may see some sprinkles across North Alabama tonight-mostly north of
the Birmingham area. Part of this same system may produce up to 2 inches of
snow in the Great Smoky Mountains tonight.

We expect clearing weather tomorrow and the rest of the week will be
more sunshine than clouds. There is some hint that a few showers could show
up at some point Thursday night, however, we are omitting them from the
forecast until things clarify.

OLD FASHIONED DRENCHING: I doubt if there is a single square inch
of dry soil in Alabama today unless it is under your house. The most rain I
have seen in the last 24 hours was 5.09 inches at Yates Dam down in Central
Alabama. Numerous locations had over 2 inches and most folks got over 1
inch. We have posted a complete list on our BLOG. We also have posted a
story about the great tragedy in Alabama 74 years ago on March 21, 1932 when
about 300 people were killed and 3,000 injured in our greatest tornado
outbreak.

GREAT BIG SNOWSTORM: It happened in the last couple of days and the
snow pack is further south in the central part of the country that it was in
much of the winter. It extends down to North Missouri. There was 28 inches
on the ground this morning at Greeley, Nebraska, 13 inches in Lincoln, 20
inches at Hastings, Nebraska and 18 inches at Rapid City, South Dakota, just
to name a few...a few other USA notes: the coldest in the lower 48 this
morning was 2 below zero at Trinidad, Colorado...it was 24 at Nuiqsut,
Alaska...summer-like heat in the Rio Grande Valley Monday with 99 degrees at
Harlingen, Texas.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: That little semi-spanking that I gave
Molly yesterday morning with a rolled newspaper, did not help one bit. She
is so determined to protect her territory, that she really lets the world
know when another dog passes by or even when people pass by on the walking
track. We have tried to reason with the little girl, but she just looks at
us with those big eyes...sure was a fresh morning walk with everything so
wet ...two mockingbirds were sitting side by side in the top of a sassafras
tree and another one was in the top of a teenage hickory tree. They were all
very lively and talkative. believe it or not those were the only three birds
we saw...for most of her three years, Molly ignored the birds and
specialized in cats and
rabbits...lately she has developed a habit of chasing birds...she does not
know that she has a zero chance of success. Life goes on.

...A Chance to Dry Out...

Drier air works back into Alabama today following a big time soaking
yesterday. Here are some rainfall amounts from around the state:

Marion 2.71"
Moundville 2.60"
Holt 2.37"
Crumly Chapel 2.15"
Huffman 2.10"
Riverchase 1.87"
Nauvoo 1.84"
Jasper 1.81"
Birmingham Airport 1.72"

The sun should begin to peek out at times today as the air begins to dry
out, and the rest of the week will be rain-free, but temperatures will be
well below normal for mid to late March. In fact, early morning temperatures
will be near the freezing mark on a daily basis through Saturday.

A passing upper air wave will bring scattered clouds on Thursday, but the
latter half of the week should feature mostly sunny days.

WEEKEND PEEK: At this point the coming weekend looks dry and cool, with
highs in the 60s and lows in the 30s.

MONDAY'S STORMS: Severe storms were confined to the southern half of Alabama
yesterday. At Auburn, winds gusted to 85 mph, and funnel clouds were spotted
in parts of Elmore, Tallapoosa, and Russell counties. Serious flash flooding
was reported around Meridian, MS; one hospital had two feet of water in the
emergency room at one point.

TV SPECIAL: Don't forget our Storm Alert 2006 TV special airs this Sunday
