...Stormy Night Ahead...

Snoopy used to sit on top of his doghouse with his little manual
typewriter working on his novel. It always started with, "It was a
ark and stormy night…" That will work for tonight's forecast here in
North and Central Alabama…

WINDY, STORMS AHEAD: Winds were picking up out there as of early
morning across Alabama. Through tonight, they will average 15-25 mph
with occasional higher gusts, so exercise caution with any activities
that are affected by the wind. It will be mostly cloudy and mild,
with temperatures warming into the upper 60s. The advance guard of
rain and embedded storms was already reaching West Alabama at
mid-morning. Showers and thunderstorms will gradually overspread the
state during the afternoon and evening hours. No real severe weather
activity is expected over Central or North Alabama, although I
wouldn't be surprised to see a few scattered reports of wind damage.
A different story over South and Southwest Alabama, where tornado
watches were already in effect this morning. The active squall line
will likely weaken as it edges into eastern Alabama later tonight.

NEW YEARS EVE: The back edge of the area of rain and storms will be
working across the middle of Alabama during the morning hours, passing
Birmingham by noon and exiting East Alabama by sunset. Skies will
also begin to clear from the west, with some sunshine popping out by
the end of the day. New Years Eve celebrations should be dry and
cooler. Low clouds and widespread fog may form late Sunday night, so
be careful if you are driving home after ringing in 2007.

NEW YEARS DAY AND BEYOND: January 1, 2007 will start with clouds and
fog that should burn off by mid-morning. It will be noticeably
cooler, with a morning low of 41. With a good deal of sunshine, the
mercury will rise into the middle 50s. Tuesday should be the coldest
morning with a low near freezing, followed by a beautiful sunny day.
Wednesday will be partly cloudy as our winds shift around to an
easterly direction. In our progressive pattern, the next storm system
will already be knocking on our door by Thursday. Rain and storms
will overspread the area Thursday night, lasting into Friday.

ON THIS DATE IN 1983: The mercury dropped to 10F in Birmingham a cold
high pressure had much of the East in its grip. Tupelo dropped to 7F.
It was the coldest week on record at Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

ON THIS DATE IN 2002: A man died when his vehicle plunged through
thin ice near Anoka, MN. The thin ice was the result of unusually
mild temperatures. 7 people had already died because of thin ice
accidents across the upper Midwest. The Minnesota Department of
Transportation reports that ice must be 12-15 inches thick to safely
support a truck, 8-12 inches to support a car, 5 inches to support a
snowmobile and 4 inches thick to support a person.
