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

The warming trend will continue across Alabama for the next two days, with
mid 50s likely this afternoon, and readings near 60 degrees tomorrow. We
should see a few cloudy periods, but no rain through tomorrow night due to
very dry air near the surface.

WEEKEND STORM: A very strong "Alberta Clipper" type system will drop into
the deep south over the weekend, and will bring some major weather changes.
We will forecast a good chance of showers on Saturday as the surface low
deepens and passes north of us. A few thunderstorms are even possible as the
air becomes somewhat unstable.

Then, much colder air will roll into the state late Saturday night and
Sunday on brisk north winds. A deep upper trough will sweep across north
Alabama on Sunday morning, and we will mention the chance of snow flurries
due to the very cold air aloft. Moisture should be rather limited, so
problems from snow at this time are not expected around here, but a dusting
is possible across higher terrain over Jackson, DeKalb, and Cherokee
counties in northeast Alabama.

Temperatures should dip into the upper teens across north Alabama by Monday
morning of next week, but a moderating trend begins Monday afternoon that
should last into mid-week.

INAUGURATION DAY WEATHER: The weather should be dry and cold in Washington,
D.C. today for the inauguration of President Bush. Temperatures will be in
the mid 30s during the day with wind chill values below freezing. Washington
should see plenty of snow, however, by the coming weekend.

A WARM SPOT: The national hot spot yesterday was Santa Ana, CA with 91
degrees.
