...Unsettled Weather Will Continue...

A grey late winter sky will continue to cover much of Alabama all week as
moisture rides up and over a shallow layer of cooler air near the surface.
We actually might see a few peeks of sun this afternoon, and then again on
Thursday, but don't count on it.

Today could start off with a little light rain or drizzle in spots, but we
believe much of the day will be dry as we are in between waves. Rain should
increase late tonight and tomorrow as yet another ripple in the sub-tropical
jet stream moves over the Deep South.

On Thursday, there could be a few showers around early in the day, but we
think most Alabama communities will be dry. The sky might even become partly
sunny Thursday afternoon.

But, another wave will bring yet another round of rain and possibly a
thunderstorm or two to the state on Friday.
Temperatures will continue to moderate, and the good news is that we don't
expect any more icing on Alabama bridges in the days to come.

MORE COLD AIR: The next shot of cold air will roll into Alabama late this
weekend. By Sunday, highs will be close to 40, and early morning
temperatures should be well down in the 20s. Some North Alabama communities
might even reach the teens by Monday morning of next week.

LONG DRY SPELL: Not even a trace of rain at Phoenix, AZ over the last 125
days.

STORM ALERT 2006: Our annual severe weather awareness tour rolls along; this
week will be at the Gadsden Convention Hall Thursday night beginning at 7:00

p.m. We have some great Alabama weather stories to tell, free t-shirts for
the first 500 people, and you will have the chance to meet our entire
weather
team.
