...A Soaking, Then Much Colder...

A dynamic storm system will roll through Alabama today with a soaking rain
this morning, followed by a sharp change to colder weather this afternoon
and tonight.

Some thunderstorms could be involved, but we don't expect any severe weather
simply due to the lack of unstable air over the northern half of the state.

The rain could be heavy at times, however, and totals of one to two inches
are likely.

The rain will begin to diminish during the midday hours, and temperatures
should begin to fall in the wake of the surface cold front. Most places will
fall through the 40s this afternoon, winding up in the 30s this evening.
And, as the deep upper trough moves through tonight, a few snow flurries are
possible. The deeper moisture will be to the east, so the flurries should be
light and won't cause any problems.

TOMORROW: With the trough moving quickly to the east, sunshine should return
to the state tomorrow, but temperatures will remain chilly. And, a freeze is

likely again early Thursday morning. That will be followed by a warm-up
beginning Thursday afternoon..

WEEKEND PEEK: Looks like our next rain producing system will arrive as the
weekend begins. We will forecast increasing clouds on Friday, followed by
rain at times and maybe a few thunderstorms Friday night into Saturday
morning. At this point it looks like the rain will be over by midday
Saturday, and Sunday should be dry and cool statewide.

FRIGID AIR: Brutally cold air is moving into Alaska. Yesterday's high in
Fairbanks was 27 degrees below zero. Chandalar Lake dropped to 45 below
yesterday morning. In the "lower 48", Stanley, Idaho had a low of minus
21.
