===================================================================

After one more spring-like day today with temperatures in the low to mid
70s, cooler air will invade our state for a brief time beginning tomorrow. A
cold front should pass through during the morning hours, which means the
high temperature tomorrow will probably come sometime between 3:00 and 9:00
a.m. when we will be in the mid 50s. The mercury should drop quickly into
the 40s, and possibly the upper 30s, over the northwest corner of the state
around Muscle Shoals by midday. For Birmingham, Tuscaloosa, and Anniston, we
expect the mercury to drop down to around 50 degrees and hold there with a
steady north breeze. And, to the south, places like Clanton and Montgomery
should reach the 60s before falling back a bit during the day.

Along with the cooler air, a few passing rain showers are likely tomorrow
and Friday as the front stalls over the central part of the state.. Amounts
should not be all that heavy, with most places getting under one-half inch.

WEEKEND PEEK: Warmer air begins to return, and we expect afternoon
temperatures in the 60s on Saturday and Sunday. A few scattered showers are
still possible, especially on Saturday. There is a fairly good chance we go
back into the low 70s early next week.

BIG TIME STORM: Flagstaff, AZ now has two feet of snow on the ground. While
the snow was falling in Flagstaff, a tornado warning was issued for the
Phoenix area yesterday afternoon.

That storm system will bring heavy snow and ice today to much of the
nation's mid-section. Chicago is under a heavy snow warning, where up to one
foot is possible. Significant ice buildup is likely for Kansas City and
Wichita as freezing rain continues to fall.
