ABC 33/40 E-Forecast

ABC 33/40 E-FORECAST
Afternoon Edition For Saturday November 11, 2006
===================================================================
LOOKING FOR AN ALARM SYSTEM?
CALL PRESTIGE ALARMS--WE ARE DIFFERENT AND BETTER!

PRESTIGE Alarm specializes in monitoring security systems
without the use of expensive phone lines or unreliable cell phones.

How do we do this? Prestige Alarm is one of the few companies
who monitors with an UL listed FCC licensed radio network.
In a typical system, if your phone line is cut or fails,
then you have no communication to the outside world.

Since we do not use phone lines, we can still dispatch the
fire or police when the emergency requires. Despite cut
phone lines, storms or over worked cell phones, we still
get the signal through.

We do not offer the free systems like some of the other
security companies. But you do not want to trust in free
equipment to protect the people who are close to you.

Call Prestige Alarm today to get the best alarm for your
home. Ask for Eddie or Amie. 205.956.4811

...Rain Moving Out...

The rain has been sparse with our cold front on this Saturday morning. The first showers moved through early, barely wetting the ground. A line of weak convection is oriented along the cold front, which is moving quickly out of Alabama. Behind the front, strong northwesterly winds are ushering in much cooler air. Temperatures in the northwest part of the state have fallen back into the forties this morning and into the fifties across the rest of the area. Windy and cloudy conditions will prevail through the afternoon hours. Conditions will be dicey on areas lakes, so if you are a hardy boater, use extreme precaution.

THROUGH TUESDAY: Clouds will hang tough overnight, although I think they will clear by morning. Temperatures overnight will drop into the middle and upper 30s. Tomorrow and Monday will be nice days, with mostly sunny skies and readings in the lower and middle 60s for daytime highs. It will be chilly again Monday morning, with lows in the 30s once again. By Tuesday, skies will still be sunny with highs in the upper 60s. Clouds will thicken late in the day into the overnight with a slight chance of a shower toward daybreak. This will be due to a warm front moving northward in response to cyclogenesis to the west of Alabama. The intensifying low pressure system will be near Cape Girardeau, Missouri by dawn on Wednesday, setting the stage for a potential active weather day onÂ…

WEDNESDAY: An area of showers and storms will be pushing into West Alabama during the morning hours. Depending on timing of the day, and available instability, the system could be on the potent side with lots of wind shear. So we will ask you to keep an eye on the forecasts for that day and the possibility of severe weather

TO INFINITY AND BEYOND: Wrap around clouds hang in through Thursday, with a little light rain and cooler temperatures. High pressure builds in for Friday and the weekend with nice conditions expected.

ON THIS DATE IN 1911: One of the most powerful "blue northers" in American history was sweeping south across the Plains. The temperature contrasts across the front were incredible. Kansas City, Missouri recorded a temperature of 68 degrees while less than four hundred miles away, the temperature at North Platte, Nebraska, was only 4 degrees above zero at the same time. Kansas city recorded a high temperature for the day of 76 by late morning, but the temperature then began to drop and it was snowing by early afternoon. By midnight the temperature was 11 above zero. Oklahoma City recorded a record high (83) and a record low (17) on the same day. At Independence, Kansas the temperature dropped from 83 to 33 degrees in one hour! An F4 tornado killed 9 and injured 50 in Janesville, Wisconsin. An hour after the tornado, survivors were digging through the rubble in zero degree temperatures and blizzard conditions.
