...Warm Spring Days...

SHORTEST WEEKEND OF THE YEAR AHEAD: Yep, this is the weekend we go
back on Daylight Saving Time; it happens at 2:00 a.m. Sunday. That is
when the clock will advance one hour, an hour we won't get back until
early November when we go back on standard time. So, be sure and set
your clocks ahead one hour before you go to bed Saturday night.

SPRING FEVER BREAKING OUT: If you liked the weather yesterday, you
should like our forecast for today and the weekend. Temperatures will
soar into the
mid 70s today, about 10 degrees above average values for early March.
We expect a decent amount of sunshine through scattered high clouds. A
few fair weather cumulus clouds could even show up this afternoon, but
the low levels remain very dry and rain will not be in the forecast.
Afternoon highs will remain in the 70s over the weekend, tomorrow will
remain dry. We will introduce the chance of isolated showers on
Sunday; most of them will be over Northwest Alabama, and even there
the chance of any one spot getting wet is about one in eight.

NEXT WEEK: The weather will be on the unsettled side next week as
moist air returns to Alabama. A few scattered showers are possible
Monday, but the big rain event should hold off until Wednesday and
Thursday. A cold front is expected to stall out somewhere over North
Alabama Wednesday as the upper support weakens and passes well to the
north. It now looks like the rain could linger into the day Thursday.
Then, cooler air follows by Friday, but at this time it looks like the
really cold air will stay well to the north of here.

EXTREMES: Hottest places in the nation yesterday were in Texas; the
high at Pecos and Vernon was 94 degrees. In contrast, the coldest spot
in the nation was Arctic Village, Alaska with 28 below zero. Coldfest
in the continental U.S. was Whitefield, NH with -15.

ON THIS DATE IN 1996: Tornadoes in Alabama killed 7 people and injured
45. Just after 4:00 AM, a tornado touched down 9 miles west of Selma,
Alabama, and moved east-northeast on a path at least 10 miles long. A
trailer park was hit just north of Selma, killing four people. An hour
and fifteen minutes later, at 5:15AM, another tornado dipped out of
the early morning skies just east of Montgomery, destroying more
trailer homes and killing two people.

SPECIAL ABC 33/40 NOAA WEATHER RADIO OFFER: You can purchase the
WR-100 Midland NOAA Weather Radio, the best selling model in the
nation, at any Publix or Handy TV location in this part of Alabama for
only $29.95. These receivers have the new digital technology that
allows you to choose the counties for which the alarm sounds. Every
Alabama home and business needs one!
