...Rain Returns Over The Weekend...

If you enjoyed the day yesterday, you should love our forecast today. Lots
of sunshine with a nice warm-up. After a chilly start, most communities
should reach the upper 70s this afternoon. But, enjoy the day because we
will have rain to deal with at times over the weekend.

WET WEEKEND: Actually, we now believe much of the day tomorrow will be dry.
A shower is possible during the afternoon, but rain and storms will become
widespread tomorrow night. For now it looks like the air will be too stable
for any major severe weather threat, but rain amounts of 1 to 2 inches are
likely.

While we still think the rain will begin to taper off by midday Sunday, we
still can't rule out some rain Sunday afternoon. So, take the rain gear if
you are headed over to Talladega for the big race (the Aaron's 499).

WEEKEND WEDGE? Much cooler will be moving into Georgia from the east by
tomorrow night, and some of that cool air could reach the eastern half of
Alabama over the latter half of the weekend. It could be that places like
Anniston and Talladega have highs only in the low 60s on Sunday, while
Tuscaloosa and Demopolis reach the mid 70s. I would not be totally surprised
if some communities near the Georgia border wind up with highs only in the
upper 50s on Sunday.

NEXT WEEK: Looks like we need to hang on to a chance of showers early next
week on Monday and Tuesday as the upper air low slowly fills to the north of
us, and a weak surface front hangs around. Rain should be especially
widespread or heavy, however.

ROAMING: National hot spots yesterday were in Florida, where Fort Lauderdale
and Vero Beach reached 93 degrees.
