...Strong Storms This Weekend...

It's a bit frosty out there on this late December morning. That is
the last time that we will see freezing temperatures at least for a
few days. A weekend storm system will bring the possibility of severe
weather Saturday night along with colder conditions behind the front
that will bring the storms.

TODAY AND FRIDAY: Today will be partly cloudy with mild temperatures
near 60 degrees. Readings tonight will be milder, falling only into
the lower 40s. Skies will become cloudy by morning. Our next weather
maker has slowed down a bit, and will leave us with a dry day
tomorrow, save a slight chance of a shower.

SATURDAY ACTION: A dynamic storm system will bring a chance of
severe weather to Alabama Saturday night. The primary threat will be
damaging winds in association with a strong squall line. But
tornadoes will be possible also. Instability will be the primary
questions, but as is often the case, wind shear will be strong. It
will be a system that we will have to monitor carefully.

SUNDAY AND BEYOND: A large upper level low will keep us mostly
cloudy and cool on Sunday and Monday. Disturbances rotating around the
upper low may leads to a little light rain.

FOOTBALL WEATHER: Alabama takes on Oklahoma State in the
Independence Bowl at Shreveport this afternoon. There is a slight
chance of a shower or thunderstorm during the game. Temperatures will
peak near 68 around kickoff.. In Dallas, Auburn meets Nebraska in the
Cotton Bowl on January 1. Dry, cool weather is expected with a high
near 52.

ANOTHER DENVER BLIZZARD: The December 20-21 snowstorm in the Denver
area dumped 20.7 inches of snow on DIA, closing the Airport for 48
hours. This was enough to rank 7th on the list of all time Denver
snowstorms. Now, another winter storm is threatening to bring more
tremendous snowfall amounts to the foothills. As much as 48 inches
fell at Hourglass Reservoir in Larimer County. Most locations may
pick up well in excess of 12 inches of snow from this second system.

ON THIS DATE IN 1997: One passenger was killed and 63 injured aboard
a United Airlines 747 flying from Tokyo to Honolulu when the aircraft
encountered clear air turbulence. Clear air turbulence is very hard
to predict and often strikes with little warning. It usually occurs
around the edges of the Jet Stream and near mountain ranges. It is
like a big pothole in the sky, shaking planes violently and often
causing them to drop large distances. Over 100 people are injured in
turbulence related incidents in the U.S. each year, a very small
amount considering there are 23,600 commercial flights each day, but
injuries can still be serious. Only one plane crash of a commercial
liner has been reported in the past 40 years due to turbulence.
