SHORT TERM
(Tonight through Friday)
Issued at 1215 AM CDT THU MAR 28 2024
Broad upper level ridging will begin to build into place and surface high pressure settles over the Southeast. Much drier airmass will be in place and only passing high clouds. Northerly winds today will be gusty at times with highs in the 60s to low 70s. Light winds and clear skies will allow temperatures to cool into the mid 30s to lower 40s Friday morning. Patchy frost is possible across the north. A little less in clouds on Friday, so plenty of sun will allow temperatures to warm into the low to mid 70s.

LONG TERM
(Friday night through next Wednesday)
Issued at 300 AM CDT THU MAR 28 2024
A surface to 850 mb ridge will be positioned to our southeast on Saturday providing southerly to southwesterly flow across the Lower MRV and Deep South areas. A low-amplitude mid- to upper-level ridge will be situated across the Southern Plains and Southeast. As such, a warm weekend is forecast with 70s/80s during the afternoons - arguably the best weekend weather in a long time.
Flow aloft is progged to amplify by Monday as the mid- to upper- level ridge moves toward Alabama. Dewpoints will continue to rise, reaching the 60s on Monday, owing to continued flow off the Gulf.
Meanwhile, a disturbance is forecast to impact the Ohio Valley region Monday into Monday night. This disturbance will continue east into Tuesday morning with a trailing cold front entering the Tennessee Valley on Tuesday afternoon. Chances for showers and thunderstorms increase across Central Alabama as a result. Given the overlap of instability and deep-layer wind shear along with the approaching front/height falls, we'll need to watch for strong to severe thunderstorms Tuesday afternoon into Tuesday night should latest guidance remain consistent.
