It was great to see Birmingham get back into the college football bowl
scene with the inaugural PapaJohns.com bowl today at Legion Field.
It's great to have all of the fans of East Carolina and South Florida
in the Magic City. The last bowl game played in Birmingham was the
1990 All-American Bowl. That game featured North Carolina State and
Michigan State. From 1977 to 1985, the game was called the Hall of
Fame Classic before that name was moved to Tampa. The bowl continued
here as the All-American Bowl.

INTERESTING FORECAST: Our fine spate of weather will continue through
the afternoon and overnight hours. Lows tonight will drop into the
upper 30s. Tomorrow will start off nice again, with lots of sunshine.
Temperatures will warm into the lower 60s before clouds start to move
in. By noon, a rapidly intensifying low pressure system will be well
south of the Louisiana coast, moving quickly northeast. You will see
our winds pick up out of the northeast as we head into the evening
hours. The low level airmass is dry, so it will take a while for rain
to start reaching the ground, but that should start happening between
sunset and midnight from the southwest. Rain will become heavy at
times through the overnight hours and Santa will have a wet ride as he
makes the rounds across the state. The low will track northeastward
across South Central and East Alabama, reaching a position near Lanett
early Christmas morning. Rainfall amounts will range from one inch
over western sections to nearly two inches in some eastern locations.

CHRISTMAS SNOW? The surface low will be followed by an upper low
that will track across North Alabama later on Christmas Day. There
will be some leftover moisture as the colder air aloft rotates over
the area. This will allow a changeover to light snow for much of the
northern half of the state at some point Monday night. It is
difficult to know how much moisture will be present, and surface temps
should be warm enough to preclude road problems. But there could be
light accumulations on grassy areas, roofs and cars. As the moisture
retreats to the northeast, snow flurries may continue over Northeast
Alabama through Tuesday morning.

REST OF THE WEEK: High pressure will be centered over West Central
Alabama by Wednesday morning, giving us ideal conditions for
radiational cooling. This will be the coldest morning of the period,
with a low in the upper 20s in most locations.

ON THIS DATE IN 2001: On the Kenai Peninsula in Alaska, a group of 7
people was snowmobiling in the Chugach National Forest. One of the
riders went up on a slope on his machine and as his horrified
companions watched, the side of the mountain let loose. The avalanche
buried the 35 year old man. Rescueers located Foster within 30
minutes, homing in on the signal emitted by his avalanche beacon.
They used probe poles to locate his exact position, buried under 4
feet of hard packed snow. CPR could not revive the victim.

ON THIS DATE IN 1994: A hybrid low-pressure system which was a cross
between a tropical storm and typical winter nor'Easter roared out of
the Gulf of Mexico and across New England on the 23rd and 24th.
Hurricane force winds were felt in coastal areas. Winds gusted to 88
mph at Walpole, MA. Nantucket recorded a wind gust to 84 mph. 4.85
inches of rain fell in Plymouth MA.
