Good Morning!  A large warm dome of upper level high pressure is in control of our weather. Starting today, highs each of the next six days should reach 80 or above.  (Normal 69/44)   For now, the High will also keep the biggest storm threat away from Alabama.  We’ll be dry again today.  Spotty showers could start to pop up Thursday. The risk of scattered showers and thunderstorms will be around each day Friday through at least Monday.  No severe weather is expected at this time. Here’s my brief video forecast discussion.

TODAY:   Mostly Sunny and warm.  High 81.  SE wind 5 to 10 mph.

(Normal 69/44)

.

TONIGHT:   Partly cloudy.  Low 59.  Light wind.

NEXT FEW DAYS:  A very warm pattern is underway.  Highs each of the next several days will be 80 or above.  Very mild nights.  Lows will range from the upper 50’s to low 60’s.  Spotty showers could start to pop up Thursday. The risk of scattered showers and thunderstorms will be around each day Friday through at least Monday.  

We will be at least flirting with record highs especially Friday and Saturday.

Starting today there will be a growing severe weather threat in the middle of the country.  Even a substantial threat developing by about Friday.

That upper area of High Pressure over the Gulf is acting as a protective dome for us keeping the severe threat away from us. 

The 10 Day model Blend Temperature Trend.  Highs in the 80’s through Tuesday. 

The Euro Ensemble  16 Day model temperature trend.  Trend towards cooler air starting around mid to late month.

DAYS TILL Officially SPRING:  16 days!
