...Severe Weather Possible Tomorrow...

HERE WE GO AGAIN: Another dynamic weather system shows up on weather
maps this morning west of Alabama; that system will bring a risk of
severe storms today from the eastern part of Texas through much of
Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi, and into West Tennessee and
Kentucky. While that active weather is brewing to the west, the
Alabama weather situation should be relatively quiet today, although
pressure gradient winds will increase through the day, gusting as high
as 30 mph at this times this afternoon. While most of the state should
stay dry today, a few isolated showers might show up this afternoon or
tonight.

TOMORROW: The big band of showers and storms should move into West
Alabama early tomorrow morning, then sweeping across the state during
the rest of the morning before moving into Georgia by mid-afternoon.
At this time, it looks like the prime window for strong to severe
storms from 4:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. The latest computer model data
shows relatively stable air over Alabama tomorrow, which hopefully
will prevent a major severe weather event, but the wind fields are
very strong at all levels of the atmosphere, and the winds will be
veering with altitude. SPC has much of Alabama in a slight risk of
severe weather tomorrow.
On the positive side of things, we expect most communities to pick up
at least one inch of rain tomorrow; some communities across the
Tennessee Valley of North Alabama might see two inches.

REST OF THE WEEK: Sunshine returns in full force on Thursday, and dry
air should remain in place Friday and Saturday with a good deal of
sunshine both of those days. Afternoons will remain mild, and nights
will be rather chilly.

EASTER SUNDAY: A disturbance will pass north of Alabama on Sunday, and
will bring the chance of a shower or thunderstorm. For now, it doesn't
look like a setup for severe weather or heavy rain, but we will have a
much better grasp on that system later this week, after out mid-week
system is out of here.

AT THE BEACH: For many Alabamians, this is spring break week. If you
are headed for the Gulf coast, keep in mind dangerous rip tides will
continue today and tomorrow along with gusty winds out of the south.
Today will be partly sunny and windy, with a high in the low 70s, and
winds gusting as high as 45 mph. Tomorrow will be an active weather
day along with coast with numerous showers and storms; some of those
storms could be severe. Then, dry weather is the story Thursday
through Saturday with mostly sunny mild days and clear cool nights.
Sea water temperatures along the Gulf coast remain in the upper 60s.

HODGEPODGE: Triple digit heat was seen down in far South Texas
yesterday; the high at Laredo was 102. A tornado touched down last
night in Southwest Arkansas near the community of Cherry Hill; the
roof was blown off one home.
