...More Rain Ahead...

In our progressive weather pattern, upper level
disturbances are a dime a dozen. One zipped by last night, delivering
a shot of weakening showers. Rainfall amounts were light, generally
less than a tenth of an inch. Even though last night's rain event was
a non-event, there are fortunately at least two more events upstream.

TODAY: A thick layer of clouds will hang tough through
part of the day today. The amount of time they hold in place will
have a big bearing on the temperatures. It they clear by lunch, we
should be able to reach 60 degrees. More clouds, a little cooler.
And vice versa. Clouds will increase rapidly tonight in advance of
our next disturbance.

MORE RAIN AND STORMS: AN area of rain and thunderstorms
will enter western sections of the state overnight tonight and
progress across the area Friday. There could be strong storms
involved, especially Friday afternoon. Rainfall amounts should be on
the solid side, around an inch. A cold front will push into the area
Friday night, clearing our skies.

SATURDAY/SUNDAY: Saturday looks like a nice transition
day, with a sunny start. But clouds will be on the increase late in
the day as a disturbance pulls moisture north up over the old frontal
boundary. This makes for an efficient rainmaking situation. Rain
should overspread the area late Saturday night. Sunday looks to be a
wet day. Many areas may pick up between three quarters of an inch and
one inch of rain. A strong cold front will push through the area
Sunday night, followed by strong westerly and northwesterly winds and
cooler air.

MUCH COLDER NEXT WEEK: A secondary cold front will push
through the area on Monday, marking the leading edge of a surge of
much colder air. Some of the coldest air we have seen in some time
will headline next week's weather. We should be below freezing over
the north half of the state by New Years morning and struggle to get
out of the 30s New Years Day. The northern third of the area will
struggle to get above freezing at all Wednesday. A warming trend will
take hold by Thursday and moderating conditions will be felt through
the weekend as a ridge of high pressure radiating down from New
England stays in control of Alabama's weather. That will be the other
weather headline next week: dry conditions. After Sunday, we may not
see any rain for ten days.

DENVER WHITE CHRISTMAS: 7.8 inches of snow fell on
Christmas Day in Denver, the most Christmas snow ever recorded in the
Mile High City. It was the first time it had snowed on Christmas
since 2000. A winter storm warning is in effect for Metro Denver for
today as another 7 inches of snow is expected to fall.

ON THIS DATE IN 1996: Dense fog in the Tampa Bay area
caused a series of chain reaction accidents on the soaring Sunshine
Skyway Bridge, involving 50 vehicles. One person
was killed and 24 injured. The 1280-foot span across the mouth of
Tampa Bay was closed in both directions.
