...Good Looking Weekend...

Thursday and Friday's general rains were welcome across Alabama. One
half to two and one half inch rains were common across the state.
More storms systems are on the way in an active southern stream
pattern that is typical of an El Nino pattern.

LET'S GO BOWLING: Today looks good, weather wise, as was expected.
Excellent football weather will be in place for today's PapaJohns.com
bowl at Legion Field. Kickoff will be at noon. The University of
South Florida Bulls will take on the Pirates of East Carolina
University. Skies will be partly cloudy with kickoff temperatures in
the upper 50s, topping out near 63 during the game. We welcome all of
the fans of both of these fine schools and local pigskin fans as well.
It will be fair and cool tonight.

CHRISTMAS EVE: By Sunday morning, low pressure will have developed
over the western Gulf of Mexico and it will be headed northeast on a
direct track for Alabama. Skies should become cloudy during the
afternoon hours. Rain should enter the area Sunday night, reaching
the Birmingham area between 6 p.m. and midnight. It will become
breezy during the overnight hours as the low approaches.

SNOW FOR CHRISTMAS DAY? By morning, the low will be passing
Birmingham and our winds will shift around to the west. We will
continue to see cloudy skies with a little light rain during the day.
A very deep upper level trough will be moving across Alabama during
the afternoon. It will be associated with some really cold air aloft.
With moisture in place and the disturbance aloft, we could see a
little light snow. Surface temperatures should stay above freezing,
and no problems are expected. A few snow flurries continue on Tuesday
morning in northeastern sections, but skies should clear during the
day.

REST OF THE WEEK: By Wednesday, another eastern wedge will be
affecting the area, with a cool easterly flow, but dry conditions
should prevail through at least Thursday before the next system begins
to organize to the west of Alabama. By Thursday night, low pressure
will form south of the Louisiana coast. This low should take a more
southerly track, passing across the Florida Panhandle. Rains should
reach Central Alabama by Friday morning and continue into the evening
hours, but the heaviest rains should stay to our south.

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.
