...Rain Returns For the Weekend...

Lots of weather changes are ahead for Alabama. After a sunny and cool day
today, clouds return to the state tonight, and we will deal with rain at
times over the weekend. Two issues for the next 72 hours:

*Temperatures over the northwest corner of Alabama could be cold enough late
tonight for a light wintry mix of sleet and freezing rain after midnight,
but no major problems are expected.

*The air will destabilize tomorrow, and a few strong thunderstorms are
possible, mainly over west Alabama. The better chance of strong storms will
come on Sunday, and we can't rule out a few isolated severe thunderstorms.

The rain should early Monday of next week, and then we will deal with.

AN ARCTIC BLAST: The coldest air of the season rolls in here next week.
Temperatures on Monday should fall into the upper 30s by afternoon, and then
we are forecasting highs only in the 30s on Tuesday and Wednesday. If the
sky can clear out Tuesday night, we have a great chance of reaching the
teens Wednesday morning.

As the frigid air settles into the deep south, we will watch developments to
the west. Some of the medium range model runs develop a storm system over
the southwest U.S. that will send moisture this way toward the end of next
week. Way too early to determine if we will have any risk of wintry
precipitation.

ROAMING: A Pacific storm system dropped 3.76" at Venado, California
yesterday. Winds gusted to 64 mph at the San Francisco Airport. McCarthy,
Alaska dropped to 38 degrees below zero yesterday morning as brutally cold
air continues to overspread the northern part of the continent. Havre,
Montana reported -12.
