...Storms Finally Over...

It was a long 24 hours in Alabama and the Deep South with wave after
wave of severe weather. Georgia and South Carolina were bombarded by
a significant outbreak of severe weather Saturday afternoon and
evening with fatalities being reported. And there is no end in sight,
with additional storms lined up over the next two weeks over the Deep
South.

FOR YOUR SUNDAY: After morning lows in the 40s across the area this
morning, temperatures today will warm into the middle 60s for the most
part with a strong late winter sun at work. Spring begins at 12:48
a.m. CDT on Thursday morning this week.

MORE SEVERE WEATHER? Monday looks to be a beautiful day with lots of
sunshine and mild temperatures in the 70s. But the signs of change
will already be in the air as our next weather maker looms on the
horizon. It will become breezy on Monday as the pressure gradient
tightens between high pressure to our east and a developing surface
low over the Texas Panhandle. A powerful upper level system will be
rotating through West Texas at the same time. This upper level system
will become negatively tilted as it rotates toward Alabama. By
Tuesday morning, the low will be in Northeast Texas heading for
southeastern Missouri, a favorable placement for severe weather here.
Showers and storms will start to fire Tuesday evening, but the best
chance for storms looks like it will be after midnight Tuesday night
into early Wednesday morning.

REST OF THE WEEK: High pressure will dominate Alabama's weather on
Thursday and into the weekend before the next storm system approaches
late on Sunday.

SOUTH TEXAS HEAT: Record highs were set across South Texas yesterday
including 98F at Brownsville, 100F at Harlingen and 103F at McAllen.

SPRING BREAK FORECAST: Some folks headed to Washington D.C. for
spring break, where it will be cool and showery. Storms ending today,
then sunny Monday, but showers Tuesday and Wednesday. Breezy Thursday
and sunny Friday. Highs will be mainly in the 50s. Lows will be in
the 30s. For the Gulf Coast: look for showers Tuesday night and
Wednesday, but otherwise fair weather. Highs will be in the 70s, lows
in the 40s and 50s to near 60. For Orlando, showers and storms will
be likely late Wednesday night, but otherwise fine weather with highs
in the 70s and lows in the 50s and 60s.

ON THIS DATE IN 1996: Destructive cold temperatures March 9th,
across Alabama and Georgia affected fruit crops and most vegetables.
Low temperatures over these regions were in the single digits in the
north, low teens across central portions and mid to upper teens in the
south. These temperatures were cold enough to wipe out any fruit crops
that had reached the blooming stage. At 20 degrees even peaches at the
first pink stage of development will have 50% percent losses while at
15 degrees, as much as 90% losses are likely.
