...Wet Weekend Ahead...

Clouds will slowly increase across Alabama today in advance of a cold front that will bring showers to the state late tonight and tomorrow. The main upper support with the front will be well to the north of Alabama, so we don’t expect any severe weather, and rainfall amounts should be around 1/2 inch during the next 36 hours.

The front becomes parallel to the upper air winds and will stall out somewhere over north or central Alabama tomorrow night. This means clouds and some rain will linger into Sunday.

Then, a wave of low pressure forms on the front to the west, and should bring a large area of rain and thunderstorms to the state by Sunday night and Monday. Rainfall totals from tomorrow through Monday will be somewhere between one and two inches for most Alabama communities.
Colder and drier air slips in here for the middle of next week, but another wet weather system will likely arrive at the end of next week.

ON THIS DATE IN 1985: Brutally cold Arctic air covered much of the nation. Birmingham’s low was –4, a new record for the date. Some spots established all time record lows, including Asheville, NC (-16F); Chicago, IL (-27F); Jacksonville, FL (+7F); Nashville, TN (-17F); and Raleigh/Durham (-9F). The extreme cold actually caused television cable wires to shrink, resulting in service disruptions across the state of Virginia.

STORM ALERT 2006: We are gearing up for our annual severe weather awareness tour across Alabama. We begin at Hamilton on February 2… the show will be at the Bevill State Auditorium. All of the shows will begin at 7:00, and we will get your family prepared for the spring tornado season. You will also see some amazing Alabama weather stories!
