...Another Close Call...

GOOD MORNING: Welcome to winter weather forecasting in the South. Many
factors went into the creation of this morning's forecast, which is already
being played out across North and Central Alabama.

ICING: Temperatures remained below freezing over North Alabama yesterday.
Across the central part of the state, they warmed to just near 40 degrees.
Cloudy skies prevented temperatures from falling rapidly after dark, but a
slow drop allowed readings to fall back into the middle 30s. As light
precipitation associated with an upper level disturbance began to move into
Alabama, evaporative cooling allowed readings to fall to near freezing in
some areas. This resulted in some instances of light freezing rain. It
doesn't take very much freezing rain to cause havoc on roads, stating with
bridges and overpasses. If you are driving this morning, check road
conditions and use caution, especially in areas along and north of I-20.

YOUR FORECAST: Alabama remains under the influence of an active southern
branch of the jetstream. Little ripples in the flow will produce additional
rounds of mostly light precipitation through Tuesday. Indications are that
a surface low will develop along a frontal zone that will be lying across
North Alabama by Wednesday, leading to some heavier rainfall amounts. Rain
should be out of here by Thursday morning, but another disturbance may
develop to the south of us on Friday, bringing more us more rain chances. A
strong cold front will bring colder air along with clouds and a chance for a
little precipitation on Saturday.

SEVERE WEATHER AWARENESS WEEK: We are very familiar with thunderstorms
here in Alabama. They occur in all months of the year, even though they
are most common in the Spring and a nearly daily occurrence in the Summer.
Many people are petrified of storms, and while they deserve a healthy amount
of respect, they are not something that you have to fear. Learning about
them is an important step in the process. More about thunderstorms in
today's Weather Talk.
