...70s by Friday...

WARMING UP: Yesterday's official high in Birmingham was 49 degrees, 14
degrees below the average high of 63. But, 5 degrees warmer than
Monday's high of 44. Temperatures will continue to warm up in the days
ahead; we expect a high today in the low 60s, followed by upper 60s
tomorrow, and mid 70s on Friday. High clouds will stream across the
sky from time to time, but the sky will remain generally sunny thanks
to very dry air in the low levels.

WEEKEND PREVIEW: Saturday looks like a delightful early spring day in
Alabama; a partly sunny sky with a high in the mid 70s. Sunday,
moisture will increase a bit and a few showers could show up, but they
will be very isolated. Temperatures will remain mild with a high back
in the mid 70s Sunday afternoon.

NEXT WEEK: We will bring in a chance of showers and thunderstorms on
Monday thanks to a cold front expected to slip into extreme Northwest
Alabama. This front is expected to drift northward as a warm front, so
Tuesday could be a day with minimal showers. But, a stronger system
will roll in here by the middle of the week with more showers and
storms by Wednesday.

A LATE SNOW REPORT: I thought this was report was interesting; it is
from Jared Goggins of Oak Mountain State Park in Shelby County,
concerning the snow event this past Sunday. He writes: "Just thought
you would be interested to know we had about 7+ inches of snow on top
of the mountain here at Oak Mountain State Park. The measurement was
taken at one of our staff houses near the Peavine Falls parking lot.
He measured 10 different places that he thought were not snow drifts.
His average was about 7.5 inches. We took the two lowest and two
highest out of our equation and came up with 7 inches. He had some
snow drifts around 12 inches. Wish you could of seen how pretty it was
up there. We will send some pictures to your picture page soon." By
the way, we received over 3,000 pictures from our viewers and readers
across the state. Thanks to everyone for taking the time to send them!

ACROSS THE FRUITED PLAIN: Coldest place in the nation yesterday was
Arctic Village, Alaska with 40 degrees below zero. Coldest in the
lower 48 was Stonington, Michigan with 27 below. The warmest weather
was around the Rio Grande Valley region of Texas; hottest spot in the
nation was Pecos, TX with
93.
