...Dry Air Slowly Movies In...

After a soaking rain yesterday and last night, drier air slowly works into
Alabama today, and many communities will see some sun by afternoon. The
incoming dry air will set the stage for a clear but chilly night tonight,
and a dry day tomorrow with a decent supply of sunshine. Look for highs in
the upper 50s today, and mid 60s tomorrow as the warming trend continues.

THE WEEKEND: Yet another disturbance in the subtropical jet stream will
bring a chance of rain to Alabama on Saturday. At this time, it looks like
the heaviest rain will be over the southern half of the state, but we should
see some rain at times up this way as well.

Then, cooler and drier will roll in on Sunday with returning sunshine and a
cool northwest breeze. We should go below freezing by early Monday morning
in most spots.

A GOOD SOAKING: Rainfall totals around the state yesterday included 1.81" at
Weaver, 1.73" at Pell City, 1.50" at Hueytown, 1.16" at Riverchase, and
1.08" at Clay.

SURPRISE ROTATION: A rotating thunderstorm prompted tornado warnings late
yesterday for Perry, Chilton, and Autauga counties, but no damage was
reported. There were two funnel clouds sighted in far Southwest Chilton
County, southwest of Maplesville.

STORM ALERT 2006: Are you ready for the spring tornado season? One way to be
prepared is to come to one of our Storm Alert 2006 stops around Alabama.
Tonight we take the show to the Gadsden Convention Hall. We begin at 7:00;
the first 500 will receive a free t-shirt and everyone will see some amazing
Alabama weather stories and hear some good safety information. Come early
for a good seat!
