FIRST ALERT Weather Thursday By Matt Daniel | April 1, 2021 at 5:49 AM CDT - Updated April 1 at 5:49 AM
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WBRC) - Happy Thursday! We begin April Fools’ Day with temperatures that seem like a joke for this time of the year. We are waking up with most of us in the 30s. Temperatures are nearly 10-15 degrees below average to start out the month. Make sure you dress warmly today because it will feel more like a January day. Temperatures are nearly 25-30 degrees colder now compared to this time yesterday.
First Alert AccuTrack is showing a clear sky. The cold front that moved through yesterday is out of here and bringing us plenty of cold air across the Southeast. The big story today will be the wind. A wind advisory has been issued for all of Central Alabama from 9 AM to 6 PM today. Plan for sustained northwest winds at 15-25 mph with wind gusts around 35 mph.

The Birth of Jupiter s Mysterious Auroral Storms Has Been Observed For The First Time
17 MARCH 2021
Just as Earth has spectacular auroras, so too do other Solar System planets have their own versions of the atmospheric light show.
Jupiter, in fact, has the most powerful auroras in the Solar System - invisible to our eyes, but glowing brilliantly in ultraviolet wavelengths.
Because Jupiter is so wildly different from Earth, scientists are deeply invested in learning what drives these incredible atmospheric phenomena - and they just got a new clue. Thanks to the Juno orbiter, we ve now observed for the first time the onset of Jupiter s mysterious auroral dawn storm.
The Bottom Line
The final few days of Winter will feature quite a range of weather conditions. First you’ll need an umbrella. Then the winter coat. And then sunglasses, as sunshine and seasonable temperatures take over just in time for the start of Spring.
Wednesday
We’re now standing at about 24 hours of sprinkles and flurries. (There were a few isolated pockets of heavier rain around Tuesday evening too.) Our weather is still “blah” to start Wednesday, although it’s going to turn into a decent mid-March day overall.
Sprinkles and light fog are hanging around, especially in southern and coastal New Jersey. By the 10 a.m. hour, drier conditions should prevail. Only peeks of sun are expected into Wednesday afternoon. But it will be about 10 degrees warmer than Tuesday, with highs close to 50 degrees.

According to the Marshall County EMA Director, the Board of Education building in downtown Albertville is the only public place people can come to seek shelter.
