...A Cold Soaking Rain Ahead...

We are forecasting three distinct storm systems for Alabama over the next 7
days. The first one will bring a cold, soaking rain beginning this
afternoon. The rain will be widespread tonight before tapering off tomorrow
morning. Rainfall amounts of one to two inches are likely for most Alabama
communities. Temperatures will be in the 40s, so there will be no icing
problems.

SECOND STORM: After a break in the action on Friday, storm number two rolls
in here over the weekend. This one should bring mostly light rain to the
state, with the most significant rain over the southern half. There could be
enough cold air for a few snow flakes Saturday night or early Sunday morning
on the northern periphery of the precipitation. This would be over the
northern quarter of the state, but for now the moisture looks too limited
there for any big winter weather problems. A nice shot of cold air follows
this storm early next week.

NUMBER THREE: This one is due in here Tuesday of Wednesday of next week, and
could be the biggie. In fact, this one has the potential to bring a winter
storm threat to parts of the deep south, including Alabama. Needless to say,
at this phase of the game we won't even try to get specific. But, the
pattern sure favors a winter storm developing over the Gulf of Mexico, then
rolling up the Atlantic seaboard. All we can do for now is say "stay tuned".

WE NEED THE RAIN: Birmingham's rain deficit for 2005 is 4.68". Unlikely we
can make up that entire amount during the next 17 days.

ROAMING: Freezing rain could bring significant icing today from the western
Carolinas northward through Virginia and into central Pennsylvania.
