...Reinforcements On The Way...

If today's weather forecast were a battle, cool continental air would
be calling for reinforcements. And they would be on their way. The
cavalry of cold has advanced past the Missouri Bootheel this morning.
That sounds further away than it really is. Low pressure over the
Great Lakes is propelling the reinforcing shot of cold air southward
and it should reach the northwest corner of the state by late morning
and reach the Birmingham area between lunch time and 4 p.m. It will
be accompanied by a slight wind shift to the northwest and a
freshening of the wind. Winds will pick up to between 8-16 mph
through tonight and temperatures will drop into the middle 20s. Both
forecasting models introduce a tiny chance of a little light rain or a
shower this afternoon or early tonight.

THE WEEK AHEAD: Skies will clear during the overnight tonight,
leaving brilliant sunshine on Monday with a chill north wind and
temperatures that remain in the upper 40s. Look for Monday night to
be the coldest night, with readings dropping three degrees or so over
tonight. You will want to make preparations for a brief hard freeze
Monday night. Tuesday will feature sunny skies again with
temperatures edging into the lower 50s. By Wednesday, some moderation
will begin, with temperatures warming back to near 60 degrees. Two
things will then happen. Another cold front will rush through late
Wednesday night. It should be free of any precipitation, only
accompanied by a few clouds and another wind shift. Then, low
pressure is expected to develop along the Texas coast. And the
traditional winter battle of moisture and cold will begin. It is
early in the season though and it does not look like things will come
together for wintry precipitation with this event. We might see a few
showers Thursday night, but not much more than that. Friday will be
partly sunny as the low passes south of us. It will be partly cloudy
and cool on Saturday and Sunday.

BUTTERMILK SKY: A buttermilk sky occurs when a mottled layer of
altocumulus or cirrocumulus clouds cover a part of the sky, looking
like butterfat on top of milk. It can make for a gorgeous sunrise or
sunset. And it did last night. It looked like the sky was on fire as
the sun went down in the west from my vantage point driving out of
Trussville. I hope you got to see it.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY: Famous weatherman Cleveland Abbe was born on this
date in New York City. Abbe was a meteorologist who pioneered in the
foundation and growth of the U.S. Weather Bureau, later renamed the
National Weather Service.

ON THIS DATE IN 1983: 9.22 inches of rain fell at the NWS in
Birmingham on West Oxmoor Road in just 24 hours on the night before
the Alabama/Auburn game. Severe flash flooding resulted and some
evacuations had to be done. If the observation had been at the
airport, it would have been a new 24 hour record for Birmingham. Of
course, Hurricane Ivan erased that two years ago. There was a tornado
warning and torrential downpour during the Iron Bowl game at Legion
Field.

LOOKING FOR AN ALARM SYSTEM?
CALL PRESTIGE ALARMS--WE ARE DIFFERENT.
GIVE US A CHANCE!

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
