...Sky Show This Week...

One of my favorite television shows was Jack Horkheimer's Star Gazer.
I am not sure you can still see it on television anymore. But you can
see it on the Internet, and this week, he promises a tremendous sky
show. The weather should cooperate at least a little here in Central
Alabama. Instead of being an evening show, it will be an early
morning one. Go outside about 30 minutes before sunrise, which will
be around 6:30 this week. If you have a somewhat level view of the
eastern horizon, you will get a view of three planets. You will see
the biggest and brightest planet, Jupiter and the two smallest,
Mercury and Mars. In the morning, Jupiter will be very close to Mars,
low on the horizon. Mercury will be a short distance away, up and to
the right. The trip will do a celestial dance this week and be joined
by a gorgeous crescent moon by the end of the week.

LET"S LOOK AT THE WEATHER: Today will feature a cloudy start, but
increasing sunshine, but seasonably cool temperatures thanks to cold
air advection. Rain will be ending from the west across south central
section of the state. We could see a shower early across The I-20
corridor, but it doesn't look likely. Highs today will be in the
middle 50s. Look for readings near freezing overnight tonight.
Monday will be maybe even a degree or two cooler with a continued flow
of cool air, despite near total sunshine.

MIDWEEK SYSTEM: Tuesday will feature increasing southerly winds and
a gradually moderation in temperature. Highs will top out in the
lower 60s. Those southerly winds will bring a substantial moisture
return, and this means showers and storms will re-enter the picture.
As a tandem of upper level disturbances swing though, we will see
periods of showers and storms starting late Tuesday night and lasting
into Wednesday. No problems are expected late Tuesday night, but as
the second disturbance and a strong cold front pushes our way on
Wednesday, storms could be on the strong side. As is usually the
case, instability is an issue in severe weather in late winter
situations, but it doesn't appear moisture will be lacking. Upper
winds will be very strong again, so there will be plenty of shear.
If we get some breaks in the clouds Wednesday, we could have some
problems. The orientation of the trough could be in our favor,
though. If it stays positively tilted, it could help to limit the
severe potential. But we are getting ready to move into prime severe
weather season in Alabama and the situation will have to be watched.

Colder air will spill into the state by Wednesday night and Thursday.
There could be a few sprinkles Thursday morning and highs may stay in
the 40s during the day. We will have a solid freeze Friday morning
and again on Sunday morning as a reinforcing shot of cold air arrives.

RACE WEATHER: Rain will plague the running of the 51st annual
Daytona 500 today in Florida. Showers will be likely at race time.
Temperatures will be in the
upper 60s. Hopefully, the race will be run on Sunday. If not,
conditions will be fine on Monday.

BOMBING OUT: A "meteorological bomb" exploded in the Atlantic
southeast of Newfoundland. The term is used to describe a storm that
rapidly intensifies over the ocean. On this date in 1982, the storm
in the Atlantic had winds of 100 mph and huge 50-foot seas. The storm
sunk at least two major ships, killing over 100 sailors and
overturning an oil rig.
