Mostly Sunny And A Little Breezy At Midday

If you’re heading out and about during the midday hour across North/Central Alabama on this beautiful last Friday of March, I believe you will like it. Mostly sunny skies with a few stratus clouds hanging tough over much of the eastern and northern parts of the area, but those are not filtering out the sunshine from making it to the surface.

There is a big range of temperatures across North/Central Alabama at this time, with upper 50s in the north, and mid 70s to the south. The cool spot at this time is Huntsville at 59 degrees, with the warm spots in the area being Demopolis, Troy, and Montgomery reporting in at 75 degrees. Winds have been quite breezy today, averaging 5-15 MPH mainly out of the west.

For the rest of your Friday afternoon, skies will remain mostly sunny and temperatures will warm nicely into the upper 60s to lower 70 for North Alabama, and the lower 70s to the lower 80s across Central Alabama. Winds will be a little breezy out of the west averaging 10 MPH. For tonight, skies should be mostly clear with overnight lows dropping into the upper 40s to the lower 50s across North/Central Alabama.

A beautiful April Fool’s day is in store for North/Central Alabama for your Saturday (and I’m not foolin’ either). Skies will be sunny and temperatures will be warm. Afternoon highs will be in the lower to mid 70s in the north, with mid 70s to the lower 80s across Central Alabama.

STORM SPOTTER TRAINING
The ABC 33/40 Weather Authority team will be on the road through early April offering free storm spotter classes. We need more trained spotters in Alabama. By attending, you can make the severe weather warning process better. No need to register, just come with a curious mind. There is no age limit. Kids that love weather will enjoy it. You will never look at a storm the same again. Next week, the team will be at Tuscaloosa on Tuesday (at Shelton State Community College), and at the BJCC (North Meeting Room C-1) on Saturday, April 8th for all-day basic and advanced training, starting at 9:00AM.
