...Nice Saturday Afternoon...

Clearing has been slow to occur across Alabama on this late February
Saturday. Temperatures in the cloudy areas have struggled, with
readings in the 40s commonplace. The weekend will be dry, although
there could be a few light showers on Sunday as an upper level
disturbance passes by to the north of Alabama. Temperatures today
will top out in the upper 50s. Look for 60s tomorrow. Lows tonight
will drop to near 40 degrees.

NEXT STORM SYSTEM: By Monday morning, intensifying low
pressure will be over Kansas. It will trek northeastward to a
position over northern Ohio by Tuesday morning. Skies will be partly
cloudy on Monday, and with a freshening southeasterly wind,
temperatures will warm into the 70s in most locations. Clouds will
thicken late Monday afternoon into Monday evening, with a squall line
of showers and storms move into Northwest Alabama after midnight.
This line of showers and storms will push southeast during the pre-
dawn hours. Fortunately, the system will be moving through at the
time of day where instability is diurnally at a minimum. Still,
strong upper dynamics could result in severe weather, so it is a
situation that will bear monitoring.

TUESDAY: Tuesday will feature showers and storms ending
from the west during the early morning hours. The rest of the day
will feature a good deal of clouds and a little drizzle or flurries.
Temperatures will only make the 50s and look for a decent freeze under
clear and calm conditions Tuesday night.

RAW WEDNESDAY: Conditions will be chilly on Wednesday as
a significant trough of low pressure sets up over Alabama.
Temperatures may not get out of the 30s in some locations,
but we will call for 40s since clearing should be underway, and our
late winter sunshine is strengthening.

REST OF THE WEEK: Thursday will feature mild
temperatures and dry conditions. By Friday, another disturbance will
swing by to the north of Alabama. It will deliver a reinforcing shot
of dry air.

DID YOU KNOW? That Wednesday's total lunar eclipse was
the last one we will see until December 2010. And we had to battle
clouds to see it to boot. That kind of makes me sad. Those were some
beautiful pictures on the blog after the event. The full moon
sure was pretty Thursday night above a thick overcast as our flight
climbed out of Chicago.

STORM ALERT 2008 TUESDAY NIGHT: Don't forget, our final
show of the 2008 Storm Alert Tour will be Tuesday night in Moody at
Bethel Baptist Church. The church was hit by a tornado on the night
of the Oak Grove Tornado, April 8, 1998. The show begins at 7:00
p.m., but come early as we are expecting a full house. Bring the
whole family! I hope to see many of you there.

ON THIS DATE IN 2003: Warm air moving over a dense
snowpack caused widespread fog that enveloped the New York City area.
The dense fog led authorities to close the New Jersey Turnpike for
several hours. Icy conditions quickly formed on roads as temperatures
dropped that evening, creating several massive multiple car accidents
including a 19 car pileup in
Harlem.
