...Another Close Call...

GOOD MORNING: Once again this weekend, we are presented with a challenging
winter weather forecast. This time it involves ice. A shallow cold air
mass is seeping into North Alabama this morning. This will result in
temperatures that fall through the day today. Meanwhile, a disturbance
passing to our south will spread moisture up and over the cold air today.

TODAY/TONIGHT: This means that rain will be likely today, even as colder
air filters in. In areas where surface temperatures are below 32F, the
precipitation type will be freezing rain. This is the most dangerous form
of winter precipitation, and can cause icing on trees and power lines.
Roads will become icy, starting with bridges first. Travel could be
seriously affected. The placement of the freezing line will be critical.
Watch it during the day. For now we think it will be north of a line from
Sulligent to Jasper to Blount Springs to Jacksonville. Over the Tennessee
Valley, where the cold air may be deeper, the precip may fall through a
freezing layer long enough for it to fall as sleet.

Precipitation should begin tapering during the afternoon. Temperatures will
fall to freezing after dark in the I-20 corridor, but most of the
precipitation should be gone by then. Still, a little light drizzle could
fall during the night and then could cause icy conditions, especially on
bridges and overpasses.

SUNDAY AND BEYOND: We should be in between waves on Sunday and some sun
may return. Clouds will return Sunday night and rain will be possible by
Monday morning. Temperatures could be cold enough for a little freezing
rain across northern sections. Rain may stay with us for much of the coming
week with showers possible Tuesday and Wednesday. Storms will be possible
on Thursday.

ON THIS DATE IN 1847: The first rescue party reached the ill-fated Donner
Party on this date. Over half of the 81 California-bound pioneers perished
during the ordeal, which started when the first snows struck in October of
1846.
