...Happy New Year...

GOOD MORNING! It is a foggy start to 2006 as dense fog parts of the area,
especially over to the south. The year will also get off to a stormy start
tonight with the very real possibility of severe weather, especially during
the pre-dawn hours on Monday.

TODAY: Southeasterly winds returned overnight. They will continue to
increase during the day, and become quite breezy tonight as low pressure
approaches to our northwest. Those southeasterly winds will begin to
transport in moisture and when a strong low level jet gets going this
afternoon and tonight, moisture levels will really rise. Dewpoints will be
in the middle 50s by this afternoon as a warm front surges northward. A few
showers may pop up along the warm front, but it looks like the atmosphere
may be capped enough to prevent major development. The real action should
get going tonight.

TONIGHT: A moist, unstable airmass will be in place tonight across the
area. As the pre-frontal trough begins to affect the area, thunderstorms
will fire. Indications are that most of the activity will take place after
midnight and east of I-65. As thunderstorms develop, some of them will
become severe thanks to sufficient deep layer shear that will allow the
storms to organize. Low level shear will be maximized in areas east of I-65
tonight, and here is where the best chance for tornadoes to occur. The
timing of all the parameters coming together is critical as to what kind of
severe weather will occur.

MONDAY: Showers and storms will exit into Georgia during the day and some
clearing will occur. As mid level temperatures drop with the trough and
sunshine allows surface temperatures to rise to near 70, instability will
peak again about noon. More thunderstorms will form ahead of the cold
front. By then, most of the low level shear will be gone and the threat
will transition back to large hail.

REST OF THE WEEK: Tuesday will feature partly cloudy and mild conditions.
Another disturbance will sweep by Wednesday, pushing a mainly dry front
through the area. But rain chances will be slim. Then it looks like we
will be heading into a major cooldown. Thursday looks to be a partly cloudy
day.

Cold air will begin pouring into the area on Friday. Highs on Friday may
only be in the 30s with even a few snow flurries. High pressure will build
in for the weekend, but a few clouds could hang out for a good bit of
Saturday.
