ABC 33/40 E-FORECAST
Morning Edition For Friday November 26, 2004
===================================================================
CUTE AS A BUTTON PRODUCTIONS
Organizational fund-raising with Photo Buttons & Photo Magnet Calendars

Does your organization need to plan a fund-raising project? Photo buttons
and magnet calendars can be a fun and profitable fundraising source!

Organization members take orders for the buttons and magnet calendars.
I provide order envelopes for order taking. All I need is a "quality" color
photo from the person placing the order.

If you think a fund-raising project using my photo buttons & magnet
calendars would benefit your organization, please contact me via the info
listed below.

Provide your name, organization name & phone number or e-mail. I'll contact
you to arrange a meeting to explain the process in more detail. Thanks!

...Quick Weather Changes Ahead...

You know the saying: If you don't like the weather around here, just wait a
few hours and it will change. That will be very true over the next five to
ten days as an active pattern continues over the southern U.S.

Today we will enjoy a good deal of sunshine, with temperatures recovering to
near 60 this afternoon after a frosty start this morning. Clouds will return
tonight, and we will forecast periods of rain tomorrow thanks to a fast
moving disturbance. Rainfall amounts of one-quarter to one-half inch are
likely, not enough to produce any additional flooding. Drier air then
returns on Sunday with our sky becoming partly sunny.

NEXT WEEK: Unfortunately we will have to highlight rain at times Monday
through Wednesday as a southwest flow aloft sets up across Alabama and the
deep south. Some stronger storms will be possible late Tuesday into
Wednesday, and more heavy rain is not out of the question. We will have to
watch for flooding problems as the ground will still be completely soaked
from rains of five to 10 inches this week in many places.

THE LONG RANGE: Looking ahead into December, the longer range computer model
guidance continues to show an active southern branch of the jet stream,
which will bring frequent storm systems across the deep south. A northern
stream shows up near the Canadian border, which should keep the really cold
air north of us except for brief intrusions. All of this would suggest a
rather wet month with temperatures at or above normal levels.

COOSA FLOOD: Lake Logan Martin is expected to crest this morning at 471
feet, 6 feet above flood stage.
