...Red Sky At Morning...

Check out the ABC3340 Blog for a photo from Vic Bell of a beautiful
sunrise this morning. It was a prime example of the old adage "Red
sky at morning, sailors take warning. Red Sky at night, sailor's
delight." So when does the bad weather begin? Bad weather is
relative in this situation. Radars this morning are showing quite a
bit of green and even some yellow over West Central Alabama. Most of
it was not reaching the ground, and I could not find any surface
observations that showed precipitation, but I could imagine a few
sprinkles across Central Alabama as this activity passes through. It
is associated with a disturbance in the broad WSW flow aloft over
Alabama. The rising sun reflects off the bottom of those
stratocumulus and cirrostratus clouds, creating the beautiful red and
orange sky. The fact that those clouds are east of us mean that we
are in a changing weather pattern. Now the good news is, they are
associated with the disturbance, and it will pass quickly today with
just a good amount of clouds, but little in the way of rain. Our next
good rain chance comes Tuesday. So in this case, red sky at morning
works out as a predictor. It usually does…

THROUGH MIDWEEK: The heavier clouds should break up some this
afternoon and skies will go clear for a time tonight. Temperatures
will be cool, but not cold, with lows in the middle 30s. Tomorrow
should be partly cloudy, with mild afternoon readings up around 60
degrees. It will become cloudy again tomorrow night as persistent
southeasterly winds drive more moisture into the area. Tuesday will
be a cloudy, slightly breezy day with a chance of showers, especially
by afternoon. An area of showers and storms will move across the
state during the evening hours. But with dewpoints forecast to only
reach 50 degrees or so, the likelihood of severe weather will be low.
A Pacific cold front will move across the area early on Wednesday,
accompanied by a few showers before lunch.

REST OF THE WEEK: Rather benign weather, with seasonable
temperatures and mostly partly cloudy skies will prevail into the
weekend. Changes will begin by Sunday in advance of our next storm
system. Sunday looks breezy with mostly cloudy skies as a more
powerful storm system tries to plow into high pressure centered along
the East Coast. Looks like a fairly dynamic storm system will be in
here around Tuesday the 19th.

ON THIS DATE IN 1992: Sending home Federal workers in Washington DC early
because of weather can cost as much as $60 million per day. On this
date, as a winter storm threatened the nation's capital, volunteer
storm spotters were used to identify precipitation falling between
Washington and Richmond. The spotters' identification of the type of
precipitation as sleet instead of snow allowed forecasters to
accurately predict that the precip would change to rain, calling off
the shutdown and saving taxpayers. Just another way that the 160,000
trained volunteer weather spotters in the United States save dollars,
and lives.

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
