...Showers, Storms Overnight..

Clouds are more entrenched this morning than expected across Central
Alabama. They are the result of a strong easterly flow between high
pressure over New England and a vigorous little low east of Florida.
Those clouds will hang tough through much of the day as we get ready
for the next weather system. A strong upper trough is moving on the
Plains of middle America today. Ahead of it, a complex frontal
structure extends from Minnesota to Texas. A surface low is over the
Red River Valley of Texas and Oklahoma. That low will move rapidly
northeast into the Great Lakes states by morning.

OUR FORECAST: This afternoon will be mostly cloudy with a wide range
of temperatures across Central Alabama, from middle 50s in the east to
middle 60s in the west. Our winds will shift to a more southeasterly
direction and increase in velocity. This will allow for a short
period of moisture return, but it will be too limited for significant
rain or storms. The powerful front will produce a line of showers and
storms this afternoon to our west that will move our way. Showers
will reach western sections of the state by 6 p.m. or so this
evening. The activity will sweep across the state during the
overnight hours. There is a chance for some damaging winds with the
line as it passes, so be alert to rapidly changing weather conditions
tonight.

FOR YOUR SUNDAY: Showers should be moving out to the
east tomorrow morning. Behind the system, much colder and drier air
will spread into the state on strong westerly and northwesterly
winds. Skies should clear fairly quickly during the morning and early
afternoon. Temperatures will struggle to reach 50 degrees, especially
over western sections. Look for a light freeze by Monday morning.

THE HOLIDAY WEEK: Monday looks to be dry and cool. By
Monday night, another disturbance will be approaching from the west.
It will deliver a few showers during the overnight hours that could
give Santa a damp ride. Look for showers on Christmas Day, with cool
and wet conditions through the morning hours. The afternoon hours
should be improved. The forecast becomes increasingly uncertain as we
head through time. Another system will be in the cards for Wednesday
with a good chance of rain. Thursday looks like a dry and seasonably
cool day with another system riding our way by Friday.

VOODOOLAND: The fast, progressive upper level pattern
continues into the New Year, with systems due in here about every
three days. Indications are that there could be a big wet weather
system for New Years Eve. But our track record with "big" wet weather
systems is not good recently.

ON THIS DATE IN 1989: Incredible cold across the United
States. 135 cities broke their record lows for the date, including 35
that set record lows for the entire month of December. It was -23F at
Kansas City MO, -26F at Concordia KS and -27F at Goodland KS to
establish all time record lows for those locations. Chinook winds
later that same day at Cutbank MT helped to warm the temperature 74
degrees from a morning low of -34F to an afternoon high of 4F.
