...One more dry day for Alabama...

We will continue to highlight dry and cool weather for Alabama today, but
clouds will increase tonight in advance of a storm system coming along in
the southern branch of the jet stream. Rain will become widespread by
tomorrow afternoon statewide.

And, as the rain moves in from the southwest, cold air will try to slip in
here from the northeast thanks to the dreaded "wedge" effect. The wedge
should set up a nasty ice storm for the western part of the Carolinas, with
icing possible down into northeast Georgia.

For now we expect just a cold, soaking rain for Alabama tomorrow afternoon
and tomorrow night. Temperatures will most likely range from the upper 30s
near the Georgia border to the low 50s near the Mississippi border as the
rain falls. Amounts around one inch are likely, with locally heavier amounts
before the rain tapers off early Thursday morning.

WEEKEND PEEK: After a dry day on Friday, looks like another Gulf of Mexico
storm system will impact Alabama over the weekend. Colder air will filter
southward at the same time, and parts of the deep south could be dealing
with their first winter storm threat of the season.
At the moment, it appears the best chance of snow or ice will be along and
north of U.S. 278 Saturday night and Sunday morning (north of a line from
Hamilton to Cullman to Gadsden). Of course, this is very preliminary and
will most likely change in coming days. Stay tuned.

COLD BLAST: There is considerable model uncertainty about the potential for
another storm early next week, but good agreement over a shot of very cold
air that will arrive here in the December 20-22 time frame.
