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

After another cold start, temperatures will rise into the upper 40s across
north and central Alabama today as a brief warming trend begins. Clouds
arrive this evening, and they should keep us above freezing tonight.

While cloudy periods are likely tomorrow and Friday, we do not expect any
precipitation since the low level air will remain very dry. Temperatures
should reach the upper 50s tomorrow, and low 50s on Friday.

THE WEEKEND: A rather vigorous "Alberta Clipper" system will dive from the
Dakotas to the south Atlantic coast this weekend. Moisture will be rather
limited, but some light rain is possible on Saturday. Then, as another shot
of cold air moves in here Saturday night, snow flurries or showers are
possible over the northern third of the state. A dusting of snow will be
possible for elevations over 1,000 feet in northeast Alabama by Sunday
morning (mainly over Jackson, DeKalb, and Cherokee counties), but we don't
expect any major problems down this way if flurries or snow showers develop.
Sunday should be rather blustery, with windy and colder conditions as low
pressure depends explosively off the Atlantic coast. Temperatures on Sunday
could very well hold in the 30s all day.

HEAT WAVE: Yesterday's high in Bismarck, ND was 45 degrees, two degrees
warmer than Birmingham, and 69 degrees warmer than the Sunday morning low of
-24. Dillon, Montana warmed to a balmy 50 degrees yesterday.

NO HEAT HERE: Bitter cold air continues to cover much of Alaska; the mercury
dropped to 57 degrees below zero early yesterday in the community of Eagle.
The high in Northway, Alaska yesterday was 35 degrees below zero.
