DOCTORS SAY THEY’RE NOW STARTING TO NOTICE AN INTERESTING TREND IN WHO IS GETTING VACCINATED. >> WOMEN HAVE BEEN MUCH MORE EAGER, AT LEAST AT OUR SITES, TO TAKE THIS VACCINE THAN MEN. ABOUT 60% OF OUR DOSES HAVE BEEN GIVEN TO WOMEN. WHY IS THAT? I DON’T KNOW. CHIP IT COMES AT A TIME WHEN THE : STATE IS URING EVERYONE TO GET VACCINATED TO HELP REACH HERD IMMUNITY. A POINT WHERE DOCTORS SAY ABOUT 85% OF THE POPULATION NEEDS TO BE IMMUNE TO THE VIRUS TO SAFELY RESUME A NORMAL LIFE. >> BUT WE HAVE PEOPLE WHO IDEOLOGICALLY HAVE DECIDED THIS PRODUCT IS NOT FOR THEM.

CHIP: AND AS FOR MEN APPEARING TO AVOID THE VACCINE MORE THAN WOMEN, DOCTORS SAY IT’S NOT TOTALLY UNEXPECTED. >> YOU KNOW, WE SEE IN OTHER HEALTH MEASURES MEN IN GENERAL TEND TO BE A LITTLE LESS EXCITED ABOUT GOING TO SEE THEIR DOCTOR.

THESE ARE SPOTS, TALLADEGA 45 DEGREES 58 DEGREES IN HALEYVILLE 56 IN BIRMINGHAM YOUR FIRST CUP FORECAST DOES HOLD A LITTLE MORE CLOUD COVER WITH THOSE 50S, BUT I THINK BY 9 AM IF YOU’RE HEADING OUT TO THE OFFICE, YOU WILL NOT NEED TO CRANK UP THE HEAT FOR TOO LONG THE RAIN CHANCES THEY ARE OUT FOR TODAY AND SO LIKELY A LOT OF FOLKS THAT WORK OUTSIDE. I THINK YOU CAN STILL GET A LOT DONE. THE HUMIDITY LEVEL IS INCREASING FOR PAINTERS AND FOLKS THAT ARE DOING CONCRETE. IT’S A LITTLE BIT MORE TRICKY ON THURSDAY MORNING. THAT’S GOING TO BE YOUR IMPACT DAY. ALSO GOING TO IMPACT CARPOOL AND IF ANY OF THE KIDDOS ARE HEADED BACK TO SCHOOL ON THE BUS, HERE’S THE DEAL. I WANT TO SHOW YOU THIS WEATHER FEATURE. IT IS A REALLY LARGE WEATHER SYSTEM THAT LIKE CRANKING OUT SOME SERIOUS SNOW SHOWERS AND ACTIVE STORMS TOWARDS THE MIDDLE OF THE COUNTRY, BUT WE DON’T SEE THAT LINE DEVELOPING AND GETTING CLOSE UNTIL WEDNESDAY WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO MISSISSIPPI AND THEN LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT 9 10 PM. IT STARTS TO GET INTO NORTHWEST ALABAMA NEAR FLORENCE AND MADISON EXPECTING IT TO RIDE ALONG THAT I-22 CORRIDOR BETWEEN ABOUT 10 AND 11 PM. SO HERE’S THE DEAL OUT AHEAD OF THIS WEATHER SYSTEM. WE STILL DO HAVE SWOLLEN CREEKS RIVER. STREAMS, WE STILL DO HAVE CLEANUP UNDERWAY SEVERAL LOCATIONS AFTER TWO ROUNDS OF DEVASTATING TORNADOES. AND SO WE WANT TO OF COURSE BE PREPARED.

UNTIL WE GET A RAINMAKER PUSHING THROUGH TEMPERATURES IN THE 80’S BY THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK WITH SHOWERS POSSIBLE LOOKING MORE LIKE MID TO LATE WEEK INTO THURSDAY. WE DO HAVE THE RAIN CHANCES, BUT MOST LIKELY THEY WILL IMPACT YOU ON THURSDAY MORNING FOR ANY THURSDAY PLANS. THIS PARTICULAR FORECAST MODEL IS A LITTLE MORE EFFICIENT AND HAS SOME DETAIL IN IT THAT I DO LIKE FROM THE TIMING. IT SHOWS THE ATMOSPHERE GETS MORE HUMID INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING AND SHOWS A COUPLE OF AFTERNOON. RAIN CHANCES ARE PRETTY LOW AND THIS IS THE LINE THAT IN FULL -- THAT FORMS OUT AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT. THIS IS GOING TO SLOW DOWN AND MOST OF THE FORECAST MODELS DO NOT SHOW THIS MOVING OUT OF HERE VERY QUICKLY BECAUSE IT’S GOING TO RUN INTO SOME VERY DRY AIR BEHIND IT. THAT’S FANCY TALK FOR IT MAY BE SQUISHED BETWEEN A NARROW BAND OF RAIN. THE BLACK WARRIOR RIVER VALLEY STILL VERY SWOLLEN. ANYMORE RAIN MAY CAUSE SOME FLOODING IN THOSE LOCATIONS. YOUR SCHOOL DAY LOOKS JUST FINE AND TEMPERATURES WILL BE IN THE UPPER 70’S AFTER SCHOOL, AND THE 80’S RETURN BY TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY. AVERAGE HIGH TEMPERATURE SHOULD BE 72 DEGREES.

UPDATE: The victim killed in the Easter Sunday shooting at W.C. Patton Park in Birmingham has been identified as 32-year-old Areyelle Yarbrough, of Bessemer.More details released by Birmingham PD on Twitter Monday night say Yarbrough was found on the ground outside of the passenger door of her vehicle. She was pronounced dead at the scene.BPD says one adult and four children ranging from five years old to 17 years old were injured in the shootout. Two of the children were transported to Children's of Alabama by Birmingham Fire and Rescue. The other two were taken to local hospitals by private vehicles. All five surviving victims are in stable condition.Investigators say the shooting appears to have stemmed from an altercation between two groups of males, which then escalated to the shooting in the crowded park where over 30 rounds were fired.Police believe there were multiple shooters. No arrests have been made.Anyone with any information related to this incident is encouraged to contact Crime Stoppers at 205-254-7777. A cash reward is available for credible information that leads to an arrest.—Jefferson County Commissioner Sheila Tyson released the following statement Monday evening in relation to Yarbrough's murder:"My heart goes out to the family of Areyelle Yarbrough, the 32-year-old woman that lost her life to another senseless act of gun violence. I also pray for the speedy recovery for the other five individuals shot during what can only be described as a wild west shootout at Patton Park. What does this say about our city when citizens of Birmingham can't gather at a park on a beautiful Easter Sunday? Taking matters to the streets using guns is not the answer. The aftermath of this shooting will change the lives of hundreds of people forever. I am encouraging you to speak up if you know anything that can lead to an arrest for Areyelle's murder. Please contact Crime Stoppers at 205-254-7777."Following the county's committee meeting Tuesday morning, Commissioner Tyson announced a $5,500 contribution to the Crime Stoppers reward.—City and faith community leaders held a vigil in the park at 5:30 p.m. Monday to remember Yarbrough and to urge those with information on the deadly shooting to come forward immediately.“This is a very somber time for all of us in Birmingham,” Birmingham City Council President William Parker said. “It’s hard to even grasp how something like this can happen during a time that families are celebrating a holiday in a park. This was an unimaginable tragedy and the Birmingham City Council is committed to working with the Mayor, law enforcement, Park Board, community leaders and local stakeholders to ensure that something like this never happens again.” Watch the vigil on the WVTM 13 Facebook page here.—The Birmingham Urban League held a news conference Monday afternoon to discuss the deadly park shooting and announce a $5,000 reward in the case. Click here to watch on Facebook.“We are tired of the senseless violence that continues to plague our communities. There is no reason families should not be able to go to the park on Easter and celebrate," said William Barnes, CEO of Birmingham Urban League.

We must work together to protect our citizens.” Rickey Smiley, a Birmingham native and radio talk show host, is offering a $5,000 reward for information in the shooting death of Yarbrough. Smiley sounded off on the shooting in a YouTube video."There's no decency anymore. Nobody is being held accountable. Everybody feels like they have a right to do whatever they want to do," Smiley said.

NEXT FEW DAYS. ONE OF ALABAMA’S TOP DOCTORS IS EXPRESSING CONCERN ABOUT SOME FOLKS HESITATING TO GET THE VACCINE. WVTM 13’S CHIP SCARBOROUGH EXPLAINS THE CHALLENGE THAT CREATES IN REACHING THE GOAL OF HERD IMMUNITY. REPORTER: MORE THAN 1.5 MILLION DOSES HAVE BEEN GIVEN SINCE THE VACCINE FIRST STARTED ARRIVING IN OUR STATE BACK IN DECEMBE >> THERE’S NO DOUBT THAT WE ARE IMPROVING OUR IMMUNITY LEVELS IN THE STATE. WE ARE NOWHERE NEAR HERD IMMUNITY AT THIS POINT. REPORTER: DR. DON WILLIAMSON SAYS WITH A POPULATION OF 5 MILLION PEOPLE, IT’LL TAKE SOME TIME FOR OUR STATE TO REACH 85% IMMUNITY. ALTHOUGH HE DOES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT MISSION WILL BE AIDED BY THOSE WHO ALREADY HAVE ANTIBODIES. BECAUSE THEY HAVE BEEN SICK WITH THE VIRUS. >> SO, I DO THINK THAT IMMUNITY WILL HELP SLOW THE SPREAD OF THE U.K. VARIANT. BUT IT WON’T BLOCK IT. REPORTER: THE VACCINE IS CERTAINLY BECOMING MORE WIDELY AVAILABLE IN ALABAMA AFTER A SLOW ROLLOUT SEVERAL MONTHS AGO. BUT DR. WILLIAMSON SAYS THE DEMAND DOESN’T APPEAR TO BE WHAT IT WAS EVEN JUST A FEW WEEKS AGO. >> I’M NOW BEGINNING TO HEAR STORIES OF VACCINE BEING AVAILABLE, BUT NOBODY THERE TO TAKE IT. THAT TO ME IS VERY CONCERNING. THAT MEANS INDIVIDUALS WHO COU BE PROTECTED ARE CHOOSING NOT TO GET VACCINATED. REPORTER: HINDERING ALABAMA EVEN MORE FROM REACHING THAT CRITICAL 85% LEVEL HE SAYS WE NEED TO HIT TO SAFELY RESUME A MORE NORMAL WAY OF LIFE. IN BIRMINGHAM, CHIP SCAR
