...Yet Another Good Soaking...

Once again today Alabama will have the dual threat of severe thunderstorms
and flash flooding as a fast moving storm system sweeps through the state.
Rainfall amounts of 1 to 2 inches are likely, and some storms might produce
damaging winds. In addition, we cannot rule out the possibility of a few
isolated tornadoes.

The heavier storms will move rapidly east of Alabama by mid to late
afternoon, but clouds will hang around through tomorrow along with chance of
some lingering light rain or drizzle. Temperatures will also be much cooler
tomorrow, and by Saturday most places hold in the 40s with a very chilly
northwest wind. It might be Saturday afternoon before we see a decent amount
of sunshine. We should also mention it is possible for a few snow flurries
to show up tomorrow night or Saturday morning over the northeast part of the
state, mainly on ridge tops in Cherokee, DeKalb, and Jackson counties.
Nothing more than a dusting is expected if the flurries develop.

MORE COLD: Another blast of cold air arrives early next week as an Arctic
front blasts through here late Monday. Moisture looks pretty limited with
that front, so we have mentioned only a few sprinkles at this time.
The coldest air so far this season arrives on Tuesday, and many places
across north Alabama could hold in the 30s all day. By Wednesday morning, we
are projecting early morning temperatures in the 21 to 26 degree range, the
first real hard freeze of the season.

With the cold air in place, we will continue to look for signs of a wintry
weather threat toward the end of next week. Model data is simply too
inconsistent right now to discuss any significant threat for Alabama.
