...Wet Weather Returns...

Our forecast package for the next 24 hours will highlight periods of rain
for Alabama as yet another wave embedded in the subtropical jet stream moves
across the southern U.S. Rainfall amounts should average around one half
inch.

We will hang onto the chance of a stray shower tomorrow morning, but the
weather should be dry tomorrow afternoon as drier air slips in from the
north.

FRIDAY/SATURDAY: A few scattered showers are possible, but we don't expect a
wash-out, or anything really heavy. In fact, the sun should peek out at
times, and we believe the most widespread rain will be over the southern
half of the state. Temperatures will remain a little below normal, with
highs in the 50s (the normal high for now is about 60 degrees).

SUNDAY: Colder and drier air will move into the state on Sunday. This time,
the core of the really cold air will stay northeast of Alabama, but we do
expect a significant freeze by early Monday morning with lows well down in
the 20s.

NEXT WEEK: We continue to see signs that much warmer air will move in here
by the middle of next week, with temperatures possibly reaching the 70s by
Tuesday or Wednesday.

NO TORNADO DRILL: This is severe weather awareness week in Alabama, but this
year there will not be a statewide tornado drill. However, the NWS will test
the NOAA Weather Radio alarm system at 9:30 this morning. That would be
great time to think about what you would do in case of a real tornado
warning.

STORM ALERT 2006: The ABC 33/40 severe weather awareness show comes to the
Gadsden Convention Hall tomorrow night; we begin at 7:00, but get there
early for a good seat!
