...Rain Late Today and Tonight...

A wave of low pressure developing on a stalled front over central
Alabama should bring widespread rain to the northern half of the state late
this afternoon and tonight. The heaviest rain is expected to be near the
Tennessee border, where over one inch is possible. For places like
Birmingham, Tuscaloosa, Anniston, and Gadsden, amounts should be closer to
one inch. The best chance of rain will come from about 3:00 this afternoon
through 10:00 tomorrow morning. We might even have a few embedded
thunderstorms as the air becomes somewhat unstable.

THE WEEKEND: As the rain moves out tomorrow morning, drier air
returns and we expect a clearing sky by afternoon with the mercury reaching
the 60s. Sunday should be a beautiful day with ample sunshine and an
afternoon high near 70 degrees.

The mild weather will continue into early next week as the upper air
winds will keep the cold air up north.

A MID-MONTH CHANGE?: Longer range computer model data suggests the
possibility of a sharp change to colder weather for Alabama in the January
15-16 time frame, so don't get used to this mild weather! We still have a
long way to go this winter.

ROAMING: Raleigh, NC soared to 73 degrees yesterday, equaling the
record high for the date. Coldest places in the nation yesterday morning
were Cook and Hibbing, MN; both cities dropped to 36 degrees below zero.
More heavy rain and mountain snow is ahead for California, where flood
watches and winter storm warnings are in effect through the weekend. Total
snowfall along the Sierra Nevada mountains this weekend will range from
three to five feet!
