...Not Much Rain Today...

Not an easy forecast for the remainder of the weekend. The old storm system
to our west is trying to throw us some curves. There are still indications
that a complex of showers and thunderstorms near the Gulf Coast may cut off
some of our moisture supply for tonight and Sunday.

If that happens, we will not get as much rain as originally expected. At one
time, we thought much of Alabama would get 1 to 2 inches of rain and some
places over 3 inches.

And we have another player on stage-the old wedge. With a deep storm system
approaching from the west and a high pressure area bulging down the Atlantic
Seaboard, we could very well see easterly flow from Georgia keeping our
temperatures down, especially on Sunday. In our forecast late yesterday, we
lowered the Sunday high to the mid 60s. It could even be lower than that. If
you were to be atop Mt. Cheaha in East Alabama Sunday, you might even need a
sweater or light jacket. There is a chance that temperatures, atop the
mountain and in other places like Roanoke and Heflin, could hang out in the
upper 50s.

THE RAIN SITUATION: Not much today, although some scattered showers could
appear by this afternoon. There is a better chance tonight. There is also a
good chance that most areas will see rain on Sunday. At times it may be just
plain rain instead of showers and there could be some drizzle also. This is
race weekend at Talladega. Today looks decent with a good chance of no
interruptions. Sunday could be a different question, but it should not be an
all day rain.

BEYOND SUNDAY: Afternoons will gradually become milder with highs Monday
through Wednesday in the mid to upper 70s. There is still a chance of
showers on all three of those days.

ELSEWHERE: The worst weather Saturday was in the Southern Plains. Parts of
Central Texas were under a moderate risk for severe weather.
