Quick Update on Saturday's Weather

April 9, 2021

I wanted to provide a quick update on tomorrow's weather since it will be ongoing by the time I'm up and moving. The Storm Prediction Center has upgraded tomorrow's risk to enhanced for the southern-east-ish half of AL and the western FL Panhandle.The change looks to be mostly due to an increase in the damaging wind threat along the coast. Winds stronger than 75 mph will be possible in the hatched area (lower right image). Storms both ahead of and in the squall line will be potentially severe with isolated tornadoes and hail also possible. The weather looks to clear the area by mid-afternoon, with scattered showers returning early Sunday morning mostly along the coast.

Note that the time in the animation is Zulu time, or 5 hours ahead of us.





I'll send out another email in the morning (once I'm up) if there's something significant to mention.
