...Rain Returns To Alabama...

Some needed rain will fall on Alabama during the next 24 hours.
Birmingham's last measurable rain was 11 days ago, but only 0.09" fell
during that event at the first of the month. The last really good
soaking here was back on November 15, when 1.01" was recorded at the
Birmingham International Airport. We also note that our rainfall
surplus for the year has dropped to 2.53" in Birmingham; the actual
rain total since January 1 is 53.62"

Showers will move into West Alabama this morning, and most of the
state will have rain by mid to late afternoon. Periods of rain will
continue tonight, with a few thunderstorms possibly involved. We don't
expect any severe weather with marginal instability and wind fields.
Rainfall amounts of around one-half inch are likely, with isolated
amounts to three-quarters of an inch, and the best chance of rain will
come from about 1:00 p.m. through 12:00 midnight.

DECEMBER WARMTH: An upper air pattern change will mean mild weather
for Alabama for the foreseeable future; we expect a high today in the
low 60s, about five degrees above normal for December 12. Tomorrow,
the sky should become mostly sunny during the day, and that sunshine
will push the afternoon high into the upper 60s. There is a good
chance we will see 70 degrees on Thursday as our weather remains dry
and very mild.

On Thursday, a storm system will form over the central Gulf of Mexico,
and promises to bring rain to much of the Florida peninsula by Friday
and possibly Saturday. But, that system will remain well to the south
of us, and at this point we expect our weather to remain dry and very
mild through the upcoming weekend. We should also note that mornings
will be warmer; we generally expect early morning temperatures to
remain well above freezing for the next seven days.

A MILD MONDAY: Troy, Montgomery, and Mobile all warmed to 73 degrees
yesterday. Tuscaloosa's high was 71, and the high at Pinson was 70.
Quite a warm-up considering it was as cold as 8 degrees in Alabama
last Friday morning (that observation was from Belle Mina in the
Tennessee Valley). To the west, Greenwood, MS soared to 76, while
Vicksburg reached 75.

ROAMING: The coldest spot in the "lower 48" yesterday was in Arizona
of all places; the observation station at Grand Canyon reported a low
of 1 degrees. The coldest spot in Alaska was Northway with 18 below
zero; nothing like the severe cold they had just 10 days ago (readings
as low as -40). In the Pacific, Typhoon Utor swept out of the
Philippines, killing four people, including three children, and
stranding thousands yesterday after high winds and waves tore up power
lines and communication links. Utor was the fifth typhoon to hit the
Philippines since September.
