...Beautiful Spring Weather Ahead...

Today and tomorrow's weather is a big part of the reason why the
living in Alabama is so fine. A nice gentle rain event delivered some
nice rainfall amounts overnight, but skies were clear by this
morning. Temperatures are in the 60s at lunch time, with highs
expected to be in the upper 60s to around 70 for the most part this
afternoon. There is a fresh westerly breeze, but it is serving just
to make things nicer. Temperatures tonight will drop into the 40s
under mostly clear skies. A few wraparound clouds could affect the
Tennessee Valley of North Alabama, but they should stay to the north.

PERFECT WEATHER WATCH… Exceptionally fine weather
conditions have prompted The Weather Company to issue a Perfect
Weather Watch for Central Alabama for Sunday. A Perfect Weather Watch
is issued when mostly sunny skies and temperatures in the middle to
upper 70s are expected. When a Perfect Weather Watch is issued for
your area, you should review your Perfect Weather action plan. Be
prepared to go into action in case a Perfect Weather Warning is issued
so you can take advantage of your favorite outdoor activity.

THE WEEK AHEAD: We will get a little preview of summer
in the coming week. We will see highs in the 80s for much of the
time. Monday will be another fine day, with highs right around 80,
along with a good bit of sunshine. A subtle warm front may bring a
chance of showers or a storm late Monday night into Tuesday morning.
All that warmth will combine with decent moisture to produce
conditional instability Tuesday afternoon to produce a chance of
isolated thunderstorms.

By Wednesday, an approaching cold front will approach
Alabama from the northwest. As it does, we will see an increase in
showers and storms for Wednesday. On Thursday, our attention will
turn to another storm system forming east of the Rockies and moving
out onto the Plains. As it does, our southerly flow will increase and
the midweek front will move back north as a warm front. With an
unstable airmass in place, we will see more showers and storms
Thursday afternoon into Thursday night. Look for another round of
showers and storms on Friday. Sound familiar? Severe weather looks
like it will be a possibility. High pressure will build in for the
weekend, with rain ending Saturday morning.

TYPHOON NEOGURI: Typhoon Neoguri weakened to a tropical
storm as it moved inland on the Chinese Coast near Hainan Island
today. The system has since weakened further as it moves near Hong
Kong. Gusty winds and heavy rain were anticipated in Hong Kong during
their overnight.

ON THIS DATE IN 2004: The 108th running of the Boston
Marathon was conducted in extremely warm conditions with a reading of
83F at the start of the race. A total of 671 runners required medical
attention, which is higher than normal.
