Low pressure is pushing off the Carolina coastline and will make a move to the northeast out over the open waters of the western Atlantic. It will not, however, continue in this direction for too long before it encounters a blocking pattern in the upper part of the atmosphere which will lead to an unusual movement in coming days as it will retrograde back towards the Northeast US. The impact here will be minimal and we’ll enjoy a couple of nice days, but more unsettled weather returns for the upcoming weekend.

Upper level ridging will stall over the Gulf of Mexico and produce a persistent southwest flow of air in the region. A couple of disturbances will cross over the Tennessee Valley keeping us unsettled tonight and Tuesday with the chance of occasional showers and thunderstorms. The pattern becomes generally drier for much of the second half of the week.

The break in the action from our recent active weather pattern will continue for the next couple of days as we get increasingly warm. Temperatures today will climb to the 80 degree mark and then well into the 80's by Friday afternoon. A broad ridge of high pressure in the upper atmosphere will extend from the Gulf States to the east coast and this system will promote an increasingly warm southerly flow of air into this region as we progress into the weekend. Another strong system will impact the area on Saturday with showers and thunderstorms and a few of the storms can be on the strong-to-severe side.

The active weather pattern that we have been experiencing across much of the nation in recent days will continue at least into the middle of next week. Low pressure over the middle of the nation this weekend will keep much of the eastern half of the nation unsettled and there are signs that a significant storm may form by the middle of next week. The potential is there for a strong storm to develop next week in the south-central US and then head northeast towards the Mid-Atlantic region and it could have a wide-ranging impact on a large part of the eastern third of the nation.

The break in the action from our recent active weather pattern will continue for the next couple of days as we get increasingly warm with nothing more than a couple of isolated showers. Temperatures today will climb to the 80 degree mark and then well into the 80's by tomorrow afternoon. A broad ridge of high pressure in the upper atmosphere will extend from the Gulf States to the east coast and this system will promote an increasingly warm southerly flow of air into this region as we progress into the weekend. Another strong system will impact the area on Saturday with showers and possible late day/evening thunderstorms and a few of the storms can be on the strong-to-severe side.

The unsettled pattern that we have experienced over the past several days will take a bit of a break today and tomorrow with increasingly warm weather and rain-free conditions. Temperatures today will climb to the 70 degree mark and then approach 80 degrees on Thursday and into the 80's by Friday afternoon. A broad ridge of high pressure in the upper atmosphere will extend from the Gulf States to the east coast and this system will promote an increasingly warm southerly flow of air into this region as we progress through the week. By Friday afternoon, temperatures should be able to climb well into the 80's in much of the northern part of Alabama. Another strong system will impact the area on Saturday with showers and thunderstorms and a few of the storms can be on the strong-to-severe side.

Unsettled conditions will continue today across the Tennessee Valley as low pressure lifts out of the Rockies and tracks northeastward towards the Upper Midwest. A warm front will extend into the Tennessee Valley from the low pressure center and it will increase our chances for occasional showers. In addition, the atmosphere will become unstable enough later today to raise the possibility of strong-to-severe thunderstorm activity.

Multiple storms will track across the country over the next several days bringing significant rainfall to much of the eastern half of the nation, substantial snowfall to higher elevation locations across interior New York State and New England, and severe weather to the Deep South, Tennessee and Ohio Valleys. This active weather pattern is partly the result of continuing cold air outbreaks into the central and eastern US which will very likely persist right into early April. The first storm of a series of upcoming storms is currently bringing heavy rainfall to portions of the Mid-Atlantic region and Northeast US and also accumulating snow to higher elevation interior sections of New York State and New England. A second storm will bring more significant rainfall to the Mid-Atlantic region later Tuesday night into Wednesday and there can be snow on the northern edges of this next storm system. By the end of the week and early weekend, low pressure will intensify over the nation’s midsection and a frontal boundary zone will extend from the low pressure center to the Mid-Atlantic region. The combination of the low and frontal system will produce more unsettled weather conditions on Friday, Saturday and Sunday in much of the eastern half of the nation.

A very warm and unsettled week is in store for the northern part of Alabama. Showers are likely today and there can be a thunderstorm or two and the same unsettled pattern will continue on Tuesday as well. In addition, as a frontal system extends into the Tennessee Valley early tomorrow, there can be some strong-to-severe thunderstorm activity.
