...Soaking Rain Today; Sunshine Sunday...

Looks like a wet Saturday across Alabama as rain continues to spread into
the state from the west and SW. Look for rumbles of thunder also over about
the southern third of the state today, but we do not foresee a severe
weather threat.

Some of the rivers are already high in SW Alabama and today's rain may
affect that some. By far, the heaviest rain should occur over the south half
of the state where many communities will get between 2 and 2.50 inches. The
amount of rain will taper off as you go northward. We may see about 8/10 of
an inch in the Tuscaloosa-Birmingham-Anniston areas. Up near the Tennessee
border the amounts will be much less.

Cooler air will start spilling into the state behind this rain event. This
should bring clearing skies by early Sunday. Then dry weather will continue
into the middle of next week. Our coldest temperatures should be early
Monday morning with upper 20s. Some of the colder valleys may be a few
degrees lower. Look for the old thermometer to bounce back to around 70 by
Wednesday.

Clouds were in and out across Alabama Friday, but afternoon temperatures
were comfortable. There was a high of 70 in Montgomery and Mobile, 68 in
Tuscaloosa, 67 in Anniston and Birmingham and 64 in Huntsville. A thick
cloud layer and rain will keep the highs in the 50s today.

ELSEWHERE: Friday extremes across the 50 states included a high of 85 in
Ft. Myers, Fla. and lows of 18 below zero in Embarrass, Minnesota and a
bitter cold 51 below in Chandalar Lake, Alaska.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: An exciting Friday afternoon walk with my
little 9-pound pal better known as Miss Molly. We were halfway up the
walking track and this large dog, about 70 pounds that always wants to play
with Molly, came racing down the track at breakneck speed. He means no harm,
but he is so aggressive that it scares the daylights out of Molly. The large
dog went round and round Molly and I wrapping the leash around my feet. I
finally grabbed Molly and held her. She was shaking like crazy. She normally
would want to tarry, but this time she was anxious to come home. Life goes
on.

==================================================================

HALF OF WEEKEND WET, HALF DRY: Looks like a good soaking starting late
tonight, but mainly on Saturday for practically all of Alabama. This
afternoon showers were already developing across South Louisiana and heading
out toward the north and NE. Some of those will reach SW and extreme West
Alabama after midnight and possibly toward daybreak. The rain should become
widespread across Alabama Saturday.
The lesser amounts of rain will be across the Tennessee Valley with
increasing amounts as you go south. Along the I-20 corridor (translation:
the Tuscaloosa-Birmingham-Anniston areas), the average amount should be
about 8/10ths of an inch, but some places could get one inch. In places like
Clanton, roughly 2.5 inches and well over 2 inches in South-Central Alabama.
For example, numerous showers and thunderstorms are forecast for the Mobile
area Saturday with rain heavy at times.
After Saturday, a quick turn around to mostly sunshine on Sunday and
Monday. At one time we expected some rain on Tuesday. That seems unlikely
now. Our coldest temperature will be in the upper 20s early Monday morning.
Then early next week our highs will be in the 60s. Some of the colder
temperatures in Alabama this morning was 27 at Black Creek with a big frost
and 28 in Ft. Payne.
ALASKA GOING BITTER COLD AGAIN: After a nice interlude of
relatively mild weather, bitter cold arctic air has returned to Alaska.
Around noon Alabama time, the temperature had dropped to 50 below zero at
Chandalar Lake. It was 42 below in Arctic Village this morning and the wind
chill across North Alaska was as low as 54 below. It is also a lot colder in
the Canadian Yukon with 35 below zero temperatures and building pressure. We
will watch that...quick notes from elsewhere...the lowest in the lower 48
this morning was 18 below at Embarrass, Minnesota...by the way, that town is
not named that because they are embarrassed by their cold weather. It is
located in the Embarrass River Valley. Their coldest temperature on record
was an unofficial 64 below on February 2, 1996...the official forecast in
Phoenix does not mention any rain through next Thursday and today they were
going through their 129th day in a row with no rain.
MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: My Little Miss Molly is a detail
person, er DD (Detail Doggie). She has to know everything that is going on.
On our walk this morning, she must have had a checklist of 50 items she was
compelled to check out, which means a good sniffing. There is a small bush
with small leaves on the side of the walking track. She stops and sniffs
every one of those leaves individually she can reach. I guess she calls that
reading the tea leaves or could that be her message board?...such a nice
morning walk...we saw some tiny blue wildflowers...Vic Bell, our 33/40
weather watcher in Black Creek told me what those were but I forgot. We
always enjoy passing the sassafras tree. It has beautiful bark..no sign of
the little CR (Community Rabbit) this morning, I am glad because Molly would
have jerked me off my feet but we are glad to see the little creature
back...I assume that is another sign of Spring...life goes on.

...Dry Today But Wet Saturday...

On Thursday, the old thermometer reached 80 in a number of South Alabama
locations. Yesterday it was about 12 to 15 degrees cooler. We expect a
milder day today with afternoon temperatures reaching the 60s in most areas.
There will be some high clouds across the area at times, but quite a bit of
sunshine. Clouds will increase tonight paving the way for more rain on
Saturday.

The southern branch of the jet stream remains active bringing occasional
disturbances across the USA. Rain should become rather extensive across the
state on Saturday with heavier amounts over the central and south. Places
near the coast may get well over an inch along with some scattered
thunderstorms. Here in North-Central Alabama, we could still get 1/2 to 1
inch of rain and it will be steady at times. Sunshine returns on Sunday and
Monday should also be dry.

ELSEWHERE: Today will be the 129th consecutive day with no rain in
Phoenix...they broke the all-time record a long time ago...88 in West
Kendall and Stuart, Florida was the warmest in the nation Thursday...coldest
was 14 below zero SW of Gunnison, Colorado where there is 12 inches of snow
on the ground...just for the fun of it, let's check Pago Pago out in the
Pacific. They have received 29 inches of rain in the last 3 weeks, over 52
inches so far in 2006 and 77 inches in less than 3 months.

SEVERE WEATHER: The final edition of Storm Alert 2006 will be next Tuesday
night in Northport. Be sure and get there early!

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Never ever know what to expect when I walk out
the door with Little Miss Molly. Wednesday night she and I went out the
front door in a steady rain for her to have a quick bathroom break. I was
not fully out the door when she jerked me into a crepe myrtle bush and I
almost fell. I also almost dropped the leash. It seems that a small rabbit
was crouched in the shrubbery under the eave of our house. I didn't know it
until I saw his little white cottontail zooming across our driveway like a
rocket launch at Cape Canaveral. Molly literally went beserk. I finally got
her under control and she spent the next 3 minutes retracing his tracks.
Life goes on.

==================================================================

SEVERE WEATHER AWARENESS WEEK: The National Weather Service has
posted a lot of useful information this week about severe weather awareness.
Today their emphasis is about flash flooding. A lot of people lose their
lives every year because of that, but since it is usually one or two people
at a time, it does not make blazing headlines. The NWS came up with a
saying, "Turn around, don't drown." Don't ever drive into flood waters when
you have no idea of the depth or how fast the water is moving.

STORM ALERT 2006: It is tonight at the Gadsden Convention Center.
You still need to come early to get a good seat even though that place seats
a lot of people. It starts at 7:00. The entire 33/40 weather team will be
there. There is only one more stop after tonight and that is next Tuesday
night (not Thursday) in Northport.

NOW TO CURRENT WEATHER: Big drenching across North and Central
Alabama yesterday and last night. Numerous places got well over 1 inch of
rain and a lot received more than 2 inches. We list only a few locations
that got over 2 inches:

2.05 at Blountsville
2.15 at Bankhead Lock and Dam
2.67 at Dearmanville (east of Anniston)
2.46 at Hollins (Clay County)
2.09 in Pell City
2.46 in the Hueytown/Concord area
2.15 at Birmingham Airport
2.20 at Anniston Airport

By midday, only a few small patches of light rain were still around.
The stalled front, that just would not leave our area yesterday, drifted
south overnight and cooler air has spread all the way down the state. No
more 80-degree temperatures today like yesterday. (See our day by day
forecast for more details.)

OUR NEXT RAIN: Looks like a good chance of rain Saturday possibly
starting after midnight Friday night. Part of South Alabama should get more
than an inch of rain. There also may be some thunderstorms roaming along the
Gulf Coast on Saturday. The rain should taper off late. Mostly sunshine
returns Sunday.

THURSDAY THOUGHTS: It blows my mind that Flagstaff, located in prime
snow country in the North Arizona mountains, has not even received a trace
of snow this month and less than 2 inches all winter. They should have had
about 69 inches by now. Ironically on this in date in 1987, Flagstaff was
buried with 31 inches...going south on I-17 into the desert, we find that
Phoenix is now in their 128th day with no rain. Absolutely incredible...on
this date in
1975, an F4 tornado hit a motel on the east side of Tuscaloosa shearing off
most of the upper floor and a housekeeper was killed.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Spring is springing (or should I say,
Spring has sprung?) in my tiny corner of the world. It even sounded like
spring when Little Miss Molly and I walked this morning. All kinds of birds
were singing, including at least five of our old crow friends...nice
swooshing sound as we passed the Old Crow Creek as the water was cascading
down from the other side of the hedgerow...even the Old Crow Motel is
budding, but it still looks discombobulated with limbs pointing in all
directions and almost all of the limbs on the north side...record number of
ballgames with Molly. All she does is up the ante for more. She is going to
wear me down. Woe is me but life goes on and I would not change it for
anything.

...Dry Air Slowly Movies In...

After a soaking rain yesterday and last night, drier air slowly works into
Alabama today, and many communities will see some sun by afternoon. The
incoming dry air will set the stage for a clear but chilly night tonight,
and a dry day tomorrow with a decent supply of sunshine. Look for highs in
the upper 50s today, and mid 60s tomorrow as the warming trend continues.

THE WEEKEND: Yet another disturbance in the subtropical jet stream will
bring a chance of rain to Alabama on Saturday. At this time, it looks like
the heaviest rain will be over the southern half of the state, but we should
see some rain at times up this way as well.

Then, cooler and drier will roll in on Sunday with returning sunshine and a
cool northwest breeze. We should go below freezing by early Monday morning
in most spots.

A GOOD SOAKING: Rainfall totals around the state yesterday included 1.81" at
Weaver, 1.73" at Pell City, 1.50" at Hueytown, 1.16" at Riverchase, and
1.08" at Clay.

SURPRISE ROTATION: A rotating thunderstorm prompted tornado warnings late
yesterday for Perry, Chilton, and Autauga counties, but no damage was
reported. There were two funnel clouds sighted in far Southwest Chilton
County, southwest of Maplesville.

STORM ALERT 2006: Are you ready for the spring tornado season? One way to be
prepared is to come to one of our Storm Alert 2006 stops around Alabama.
Tonight we take the show to the Gadsden Convention Hall. We begin at 7:00;
the first 500 will receive a free t-shirt and everyone will see some amazing
Alabama weather stories and hear some good safety information. Come early
for a good seat!

==================================================================

NOT A CHAMBER OF COMMERCE DAY: When we have a stalled front in the
area, the weather is not usually very nice. That is the story today. Rain
has been persistent over the north part of Alabama and there were even a few
peels of thunder. It is estimated that parts of the area had received about
8/10ths of an inch by early this afternoon.

Temperatures aver the north were hanging out in the 50s. Downstate,
it is a different story. Would not be surprised to hear of a few 80-degree
highs. Seventies were common and there were not near as many showers.

We expect that stalled front to start pushing back southward
overnight and especially Thursday. The showers tonight should taper off or
end early
Thursday with some afternoon sunshine.

Friday should be dry but Saturday is somewhat of a question mark.
There is a chance of rain mainly over the south part of the state. Then we
go right back to breezy and colder weather on Saturday with mostly sunshine.
Not real cold, however, like last weekend.

SEVERE WEATHER AWARENESS WEEK: It is being observed in Alabama this
week. Yesterday, the emphasis was on lightning, today it was
tornadoes-probably the most scary item on the Alabama weather bad list. For
the last several years, the "secondary" season of November and early
December has been the most active in Alabama. However, over the long haul,
March, April and part of May is the prime season. That will soon be here.
Alabama has not had a really powerful tornado in the spring since April 8,
1998 when West Jefferson County was devastated. The NWS has made tomorrow
the emphasis on floods and flash-floods. We will look at that more then, but
you would be surprised how you can be swept off your feet by shallow, fast
flowing water.

WEDNESDAY TIDBITS: A major outbreak of tornadoes on this date in
1998 across Central Florida when 39 people were killed. Three supercell
thunderstorms produced six deadly tornadoes...coldest in the Lower 48 this
morning was 15 below in Big Piney, Wyo.,...the USA has really moderated in
the last few days...last weekend, I saw a low temperature of 46 below in
Montana.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Sure am glad Little Miss Molly had
mixed up sleeping hours yesterday and last night. She has been sleeping most
of today which is good because I have been busier than a snake trying to
cross U.S. 280...we were away last evening and when we got home late, never
saw a little creature so glad to see someone...I have in my coffee-stained
fingers the Winter Edition of Insights and Answers. They feature a story
about the healing power of pets. They are great listeners. Provide their
basic needs like food, water and love, and you have a friend for life that
will never forsake you. They make us all laugh the stress away and they
provide a free comedy show. I am convinced and life goes on.

ABC 33/40 E-FORECAST
Morning Edition For Wednesday February 22, 2006
===================================================================
SECURITY OFFICERS NEEDED NOW!

We need armed and unarmed security officers in Birmingham, Tuscaloosa,
Vance, and Montgomery, Alabama.

You qualify as: Former law enforcement or corrections officer (civilian or
military); or former member of a military elite force; or former career
military; or have a criminal justice degree. Minimum age is 21 years old.
Must be a high school/GED graduate.

Compensation/benefits: Pays up to $22,880 depending on location and
assignment; life, health, dental and disability insurance; paid training;
free uniforms and equipment; up to 3 weeks paid vacation; holiday pay; 401k
savings plan; and career opportunities.

For confidential consideration, send resume to The Wackenhut Corporation,
Human Resources Department, 2100 Riverchase Center, Suite 220, Birmingham,
Alabama 35244. Phone (205) 988-9090 or (800) 929-5350.
Fax (205) 988-9955. Or e-mail birmail@Wackenhut.com
===================================================================

...Wet Weather Returns...

Our forecast package for the next 24 hours will highlight periods of rain
for Alabama as yet another wave embedded in the subtropical jet stream moves
across the southern U.S. Rainfall amounts should average around one half
inch.

We will hang onto the chance of a stray shower tomorrow morning, but the
weather should be dry tomorrow afternoon as drier air slips in from the
north.

FRIDAY/SATURDAY: A few scattered showers are possible, but we don't expect a
wash-out, or anything really heavy. In fact, the sun should peek out at
times, and we believe the most widespread rain will be over the southern
half of the state. Temperatures will remain a little below normal, with
highs in the 50s (the normal high for now is about 60 degrees).

SUNDAY: Colder and drier air will move into the state on Sunday. This time,
the core of the really cold air will stay northeast of Alabama, but we do
expect a significant freeze by early Monday morning with lows well down in
the 20s.

NEXT WEEK: We continue to see signs that much warmer air will move in here
by the middle of next week, with temperatures possibly reaching the 70s by
Tuesday or Wednesday.

NO TORNADO DRILL: This is severe weather awareness week in Alabama, but this
year there will not be a statewide tornado drill. However, the NWS will test
the NOAA Weather Radio alarm system at 9:30 this morning. That would be
great time to think about what you would do in case of a real tornado
warning.

STORM ALERT 2006: The ABC 33/40 severe weather awareness show comes to the
Gadsden Convention Hall tomorrow night; we begin at 7:00, but get there
early for a good seat!

==================================================================

LIGHTNING IS FRIGHTENING: Strange that I would mention that today. I just
checked the lightning detection equipment and there was not a single bolt of
lightning anywhere in the USA. However, this is Severe Weather Awareness
week in Alabama and the NWS, Birmingham will be emphasizing a different
element of severe weather each day. Today the emphasis was lightning. Most
people that know me know that I am more afraid of lightning than a coiled
rattlesnake, a charging rhino or a hurricane. Over a five-year period, there
were 30,190 houses struck by lightning in the USA with more than $875
million in damage. It is estimated that 30% of all church fires are caused
by lightning. Could that be because of the steeple?
BACK TO THE PRESENT: I have been studying so many weather maps and
models today that my eyeballs resemble a Los Angeles street map. Not a great
deal of confidence in the forecast over the next several days, mainly
because of timing issues with the rain. We won't see any long periods of dry
weather and not a great deal of sunshine. Check our day-by-day forecast for
all of the details. In a nutshell, it looks like the main rain periods will
come Wednesday and Friday.
CRUISING THE WORLD: When is the last time you heard that the
coldest temperature in Alaska was only 8 below zero? It was this morning and
that was at Arctic Village and Point Hope. One of our favorite places to
check is Chandalar Lake and they had a warm 5 above...always like to look at
Alert and Eureka in extreme Northern Canada. Temperatures there this morning
were 40 to 45 below zero. Way over the North Pole in Siberia it was 56
below at Ojmjakon. That place is considered the coldest continuously
inhabited town on earth. I still plan to run a story about that town one
day...today is the 126th day in a row with no rain in Phoenix, by far, the
longest stretch ever...in the Great Smoky Mountain National Park there was
still 16 inches of snow on the ground this morning atop Mt. LeConte and 5
inches on Newfound Gap with little or none in Cades Cove or Gatlinburg...to
show you how the nation is moderating, yesterday around 10:00 a.m. more than
70% of the lower 48 land area had temperatures freezing or lower. Today it
was only 30% and only 10% of the USA population was experiencing 32 or
lower.
MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: I have walked from my weather office
to the kitchen at least 10 times today to get coffee and every single time I
stopped and had a ballgame with Little Miss Molly...the latest variation
that she enjoys so well, is for me to toss all 5 of her balls up near the
ceiling and let them fall around her. It drives her crazy. She actually
stands on her hind legs and tries to catch one of them like a Birmingham
Barons outfielder. Then she chases them all over the room, brings them back
to me and throws them at my feet. Translation: "Big guy, let's go with
inning number two." She does not believe in a 7th inning stretch. Life goes
on. J. B. Elliott

...Unsettled Weather Will Continue...

A grey late winter sky will continue to cover much of Alabama all week as
moisture rides up and over a shallow layer of cooler air near the surface.
We actually might see a few peeks of sun this afternoon, and then again on
Thursday, but don't count on it.

Today could start off with a little light rain or drizzle in spots, but we
believe much of the day will be dry as we are in between waves. Rain should
increase late tonight and tomorrow as yet another ripple in the sub-tropical
jet stream moves over the Deep South.

On Thursday, there could be a few showers around early in the day, but we
think most Alabama communities will be dry. The sky might even become partly
sunny Thursday afternoon.

But, another wave will bring yet another round of rain and possibly a
thunderstorm or two to the state on Friday.
Temperatures will continue to moderate, and the good news is that we don't
expect any more icing on Alabama bridges in the days to come.

MORE COLD AIR: The next shot of cold air will roll into Alabama late this
weekend. By Sunday, highs will be close to 40, and early morning
temperatures should be well down in the 20s. Some North Alabama communities
might even reach the teens by Monday morning of next week.

LONG DRY SPELL: Not even a trace of rain at Phoenix, AZ over the last 125
days.

STORM ALERT 2006: Our annual severe weather awareness tour rolls along; this
week will be at the Gadsden Convention Hall Thursday night beginning at 7:00

p.m. We have some great Alabama weather stories to tell, free t-shirts for
the first 500 people, and you will have the chance to meet our entire
weather
team.

==================================================================

AN UNSETTLED WEEK: January was a very warm month, but the month of February
seems to be trying to throw the book at us with a variety of active weather.


Last night we went through our second threat of freezing rain in just a few
days. Across Central Alabama, in the Tuscaloosa-Birmingham-Anniston zones,
icing was not really a problem. Over the north part of the state, there was
enough freezing rain to glaze over a lot of bridges which caused a number of
automobile accidents. Sure sorry to hear about one fatality in NW Walker
County near Carbon Hill due to an icy bridge.

By midday, the temperatures had moderated to the mid 30s which got rid of
most of the ice problems. It was a cold miserable day over much of the
state. A low overcast blocked out the sun and temperatures finally struggled
to reach the 40s by this afternoon.

REST OF THE WEEK: It is going to be unsettled because the winds aloft will
still be out of the WSW all week. Occasional ripples in that flow will cause
periods of rain. The timing of each rain event is difficult. We think now
that the two main times for rain will be on Wednesday and at some point on
Friday. The Friday forecast is low confidence. Probably the best news is
that we do not see another threat of freezing temperatures all the way
through Friday at least.

BAD WEATHER LOTS OF PLACES: They are still counting the power outages by
thousands of homes in the NE especially from Northern New York into Maine
due to extremely high winds during the last few days that gusted to 70 mph
in some areas. Well over 100 automobile accidents in and around Richmond
today due to ice. Widespread accidents also in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area and
a lot of major accidents around South Bend, Indiana. Moral of the story: it
is very difficult to drive on ice and snow ANYWHERE-not just in the
south...the temperature dropped to 23 below zero at Big Piney, Wyoming this
morning. At one point about 67% of the land area of the USA had temperatures
freezing or lower...86 in Ft. Myers was the warmest yesterday.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Enjoyed a visit from Chuck Biddinger Sunday
afternoon. He came out specifically to make new photographs of Little Miss
Molly. She had a blast playing with him. I had already played with her so
much that my tongue was hanging out, but that little girl's energy level
never seems to diminish until after 9:00 at night. About that time, she
likes to go outside for a final bathroom break, then she curls up on her
blanket on the couch until we get ready to go to bed...when we do, Little
Miss Molly gets to sleep on the "human" bed. 'Tis about time for another
haircut for the little girl...we had several good walks over the weekend,
including one at 11 o'clock Saturday night and that one was very cold.
Little Miss Molly had her red sweater on and even I, the warmest natured guy
anywhere, wore a coat. Life goes on.

...Another Close Call...

GOOD MORNING: Welcome to winter weather forecasting in the South. Many
factors went into the creation of this morning's forecast, which is already
being played out across North and Central Alabama.

ICING: Temperatures remained below freezing over North Alabama yesterday.
Across the central part of the state, they warmed to just near 40 degrees.
Cloudy skies prevented temperatures from falling rapidly after dark, but a
slow drop allowed readings to fall back into the middle 30s. As light
precipitation associated with an upper level disturbance began to move into
Alabama, evaporative cooling allowed readings to fall to near freezing in
some areas. This resulted in some instances of light freezing rain. It
doesn't take very much freezing rain to cause havoc on roads, stating with
bridges and overpasses. If you are driving this morning, check road
conditions and use caution, especially in areas along and north of I-20.

YOUR FORECAST: Alabama remains under the influence of an active southern
branch of the jetstream. Little ripples in the flow will produce additional
rounds of mostly light precipitation through Tuesday. Indications are that
a surface low will develop along a frontal zone that will be lying across
North Alabama by Wednesday, leading to some heavier rainfall amounts. Rain
should be out of here by Thursday morning, but another disturbance may
develop to the south of us on Friday, bringing more us more rain chances. A
strong cold front will bring colder air along with clouds and a chance for a
little precipitation on Saturday.

SEVERE WEATHER AWARENESS WEEK: We are very familiar with thunderstorms
here in Alabama. They occur in all months of the year, even though they
are most common in the Spring and a nearly daily occurrence in the Summer.
Many people are petrified of storms, and while they deserve a healthy amount
of respect, they are not something that you have to fear. Learning about
them is an important step in the process. More about thunderstorms in
today's Weather Talk.
