Following a day of rain and active thunderstorms, much cooler flows into
Alabama today with a brisk northerly wind. Temperatures will stay in the 40s
much of the day, but early morning clouds will give way to a good supply of
sunshine throughout the day.

THE WEEKEND: Dry and cool weather will highlight our weekend forecast, with
temperatures very close to seasonal levels for mid-January. We expect ample
sunshine on both days.

A fresh shot of colder air should arrive early next week, and could push the
mercury down into the 20 to 25 degree range by early Tuesday morning. The
air will stay dry and at this time most of next week looks rain-free.

YESTERDAY'S STORMS: Tree and power line damage was reported in over a dozen
counties across the northern third of Alabama yesterday. Some of the most
widespread damage was over northern Lamar, southern Marion, and Winston
counties. The ABC 33/40 weathernet sites at Legion Field in Birmingham, and
at the Talladega Superspeedway measured a peak wind gust of 51 mph.

Here is a report from Gary Goggins, the ABC 33/40 Weather Watcher in
Starkville, MS: Early this morning, around 6:30, the cold front plowed its
way through the area, leaving some buildings damaged in its wake around the
Starkville area. Starkville's Bryan Field Airport along with MSU's Flight
Research Center sustained some significant roof damage after 55-60mph winds
associated with a squall line moved over the city.

Rainfall reports included 1.32" at Nauvoo, 1.31" at Hamilton, 1.29" at
Greystone Farms, 1.26" at Childersburg, 1.14" at Calera, 1.05" at
Cottondale, 1.03" at Jasper, .99" at Eutaw, and .90" at the ABC 33/40 studio
in Riverchase.

BIG TIME COLD: In Fairbanks, Alaska yesterday the afternoon high was 35
degrees below zero, following a morning low of 45 below zero. Coldest place
in Alaska was Northway with 60 degrees below zero. That bitter cold air has
spilled south of the Canadian border; in Fargo, ND today the forecast high
is only -13. The forecast high for Omaha, NE today is 3 above zero.
