...More Quick Changes Ahead...

Dry and cool weather headlines our forecast today, with ample sunshine and
highs in the low 50s. But, more changes are ahead for the weekend. Clouds
return tomorrow, and a storm in the northern Gulf of Mexico should bring
rain to much of the state tomorrow night.

The air could be cold enough for a few ice pellets or snow flakes to be
mixed with the rain north of U.S. 278 (Hamilton to Cullman to Gadsden), but
temperatures there should generally remain above freezing and we don't
expect any travel problems at this point.

The best chance of rain will come from about 4:00 p.m. tomorrow through 6:00
a.m. Sunday. The sky should become partly sunny during the day Sunday as
drier air arrives.

NEXT WEEK: Yet another weather system will impact Alabama toward the middle
of next week, and could bring the risk of some wintry precipitation to parts
of the deep south Tuesday or Wednesday. Still too early to be specific;
computer model data varies greatly on the storm track and the amount of
moisture available. A quick shot of colder air should follow that system.

CHRISTMAS PREVIEW: At the moment it looks like temperatures will begin to
warm back to normal levels around here by Christmas day as the primary polar
jet stream retreats northward for a while.

ICY MESS: About 450,000 people have no power following yesterday's ice storm
in north Georgia, and the western part of the Carolinas. One man was killed
in Kannapolis, NC when an ice laden tree crashed through his roof. The man
was crushed while he was on a couch in his living room. Greenville and
Spartanburg, SC were especially hard hit by the storm.
