...A Big Daytime Warm Up...

After a frosty start this morning, temperatures will warm quickly across
Alabama today, with most communities reaching the mid 60s this afternoon.
Dry air means lots of sunshine; just a few high cirrus clouds should pass
overhead.

Moisture will begin to return tomorrow, rain will return to Alabama as the
weekend begins. Showers should begin to form after midnight tomorrow night,
with showers and a few thunderstorms likely on Saturday.

The good news is that we don't expect severe weather or flooding issues on
Saturday; the main dynamics of that storm will pass north of Alabama, and
the air will be only marginally unstable. Amounts of one-half look like a
good bet.

A cold front should stall out a little south of us on Sunday, but for now we
expect Sunday to be a dry day with any showers limited to the southern third
of the state.

Yet another impulse moves into Alabama early next week with a chance of
showers and storms Monday and Monday night.

BIG TURNAROUND: Many people remember the severe cold and ice during January
1982 across Alabama. On January 11 of that year the mercury dropped to one
below zero in Birmingham. Most folks don't remember the dramatic warm-up a
week later; on January 19, 1982 Birmingham's high was a balmy 76 degrees, a
new record high for the date.

WINDY: High winds across the northeast U.S. yesterday morning were
responsible for two deaths, and left 440,000 homes and businesses in the
dark. The two fatalities were the result of trees falling on cars. At
Boston's Logan Airport, flight delays reached 2 and a half hours. Winds in
Boston exceeded 60 mph at times.
