===================================================================

GOOD MORNING: Temperatures are starting off on the chilly side this morning across Alabama. Readings are generally in the middle and upper 20s. We will enjoy a decent warm up today, as compared to yesterday’s highs that were below 40 in many locations. Most areas should see lower 50s today under mostly sunny skies with a warming southwesterly breeze. With that southwest wind overnight, temperatures will only fall into the upper 30s in most areas.

FOR YOUR SUNDAY: Get ready for a remarkably nice January day tomorrow. We will continue in the southwest flow underneath a rather vigorous surface low over Missouri. Temperatures will warm well into the middle and upper 60s on Sunday, and don’t be surprised if a few locations hit 70 degrees. It will get quite breezy tomorrow, with southwest winds averaging as high as 20 mph. A Lake Wind Advisory will likely be required Sunday. Those breezy conditions will continue into Sunday night as the surface low moves to the north of Alabama.

START OF THE WEEK: Clouds will begin to increase Sunday night and by Monday morning, you can expect mostly cloudy conditions. A few showers will break out on Monday as a weak low associated with the surface low will overspread Alabama. These showers may continue into early Tuesday as a cool front passes through the area.

MIDWEEK AND BEYOND: Broad high pressure should be in control of our weather by Wednesday. This high will slide east on Thursday, giving us a return flow of moisture. Shower chances will be on the upswing in the Friday time frame as another low passes to our north.

ON THIS DATE IN 2004: Cyclone Heta ripped through the South Pacific Island of Niue, leaving the island province of 1,500 people so damaged that officials declared it might have to be permanently evacuated. The island’s infrastructure was nearly completely destroyed.
