Weather Outlook for 4/20/2011

We've gotten off to a wet and wild start this morning. I am currently drenched as I walked to my 9 o'clock class, however, I did remember a raincoat this time :) Students, be sure to watch the weather throughout the day today. We're not expecting anything severe like last Friday. However, strong, straight line winds, heavy downpours, and frequent lightning are the weapons today. We'll keep you posted here if something severe breaks out. 

CURRENT OBSERVATIONS
TEMP: 72*F
Raining heavily at the moment, lightning frequently, steady breeze
Dewpoint: 66*

THROUGHOUT THE DAY
Severe Thunderstorm watch in effect for Tuscaloosa County until 10am CDT. Some more storms should fire up this afternoon, but the atmosphere lacks the helicity to create a tornado threat similar to last week.

REST OF THE WEEK
Scattered thunderstorms throughout the rest of the day today, and most of tomorrow. Drying up on Good Friday and will be dry, and humid, for Easter weekend. Mr. Spann has said that Easter will be comparable to the Fourth of July.
