...Cool and Damp Weather Continues...

ALMOST LIKE WINTER: Yesterday's official high in Birmingham was only
55 degrees; that is 17 degrees below the average high for October 24,
and is our average high for the period from December 18-22. At 5:00
yesterday afternoon, the Birmingham Airport was reporting 49 degrees;
27 degrees colder than Great Falls, Montana, where the temperature
was 76. I didn't hear anyone complaining about the chill; I guess
that is logical since we still have fresh memories of the triple
digit heat back in August.

The weather yesterday was also wet with periods of rain and drizzle
statewide, thanks to an upper air low just across the state line in
East Mississippi. That ULL (upper level low) is going nowhere today,
so our weather probably won't be much different. Lots of clouds,
occasional light rain or drizzle, and temperatures having a hard time
getting out of the low to mid 50s. Additional rain today should be a
quarter-inch or less for most Alabama communities.

BRIGHTER DAYS: The upper level low will begin to lift out to the
northeast tomorrow, and we expect gradual clearing to begin during
the afternoon hours. While a few stray showers are possible during
the morning hours, we will be rain-free by tomorrow night when high
school football games are played around the state. Then, the weekend
still looks delightful with sunny days and clear chilly nights. Look
for a high close to 70 both Saturday and Sunday, with early morning
lows in the 40s.

NEXT WEEK: The first part of next week looks dry and pleasant. Some
runs of the GFS (the Global Forecast System, the primary American
medium range global model), try to develop some kind of low pressure
area in the Gulf of Mexico by mid-week, with a move toward Alabama.
If that is correct, we might have another beneficial rain event
toward the latter half of next week.

HODGEPODGE: Rain totals yesterday around the nation included 2.67" at
Norfolk, VA, and 2.38" at Charleston, SC. Bitter cold air is
beginning to build across Alaska and Canada; the low yesterday
morning at Anaktuvuk Pass, AK was six degrees below zero. The high at
Bettles, Alaska yesterday was only 8 degrees.

PRIME TIME WEATHER SPECIAL: Join us this Sunday evening at 6:00 for a
one hour prime time special on ABC 33/40, called "Safe In The Storm".
We will have a number of very interesting stories, including a look
at new pending legislation that will require a new NOAA Weather Radio
in every mobile home sold in the nation (CJ's Law), a five year look-
back on the November 10, 2002 tornado outbreak that killed 11 people,
the new National Weather Service polygon warning system, and much
more. Ashley Brand is the executive producer of the show, and Brian
Wallace is putting it together. Don't miss it!
