...Showers This Morning...

The weather setup over Alabama this morning is one that has produced
some significant winter storms in our past. Fortunately (or
unfortunately) depending on your point of view, the airmass over
Alabama is much too warm for snow or other wintry precipitation. Not
to say that this wouldn't probably be the best time you could have for
a round of winter weather with most folks out of school and many
businesses closed Monday and Tuesday for the New Years holiday. But
snowfans will have to wait for another opportunity.

SHOWERS THIS MORNING: A frontal wave moving along the front to our
south is spreading showers up into Alabama this morning. Folks much
above I-20 will not see much in the way of rain today, while folks
further south will have a much better chance of rain. The
precipitation should begin pushing southeastward and out of the area
later this morning. Skies will remain cloudy through late morning, but
some clearing should occur this afternoon. Highs will top out in the
middle 50s. Tonight, readings will drop into the lower 30s under
clear skies. Monday will feature sunny and mild conditions, with
highs in the lower 60s. But skies will cloud up Monday night, and
there could be a light shower or two as a strong cold front moves
through.

TURN TO COLDER: Tuesday will feel quite a bit different that
Monday. Temperatures will start out in the middle 30s, make a brave
feint into the lower 40s before much colder air rushes in and sends
the mercury into a slow fall during the afternoon. Readings will fall
back into the 30s by afternoon and there will be a strong
northwesterly wind averaging 10-20 mph. Tuesday night will feature
some bone chilling cold with a low in the lower 20s in most locations,
with several reports in the teens by morning. Wednesday will be cold,
with readings struggling to make 40 degrees. Look for low 20s again
Thursday morning before a moderating trend begins. Showers may
reappear as soon as Saturday, with rain likely Sunday. But
temperatures will be in the 60s by then.

FOOTBALL FORECAST: Lots of Alabama fans are in Shreveport to watch
the Tide take on the Colorado Buffaloes in the Independence Bowl
tonight. The weather should be excellent with clear and cool
conditions. Temperatures will start off about 48F, falling to about
42F by the end of the game. Sunday should start off cloudy in
Shreveport, but sunshine will quickly emerge and the high should be
around 61 today. Monday will be partly cloudy and mild, with highs
rising into the upper 60s.
In Atlanta, Auburn will take on Clemson Monday night. Tiger fans
will encounter a wet day today, but conditions should improve rapidly
tonight. 55 today, 35 tonight. New Years Eve should be nice, with
sunny conditions and a high of 62. Temperatures Monday night will
fall into the lower 30s, but that won't affect the game, since It is
indoors at the Georgia Dome. Tuesday will be windy and colder.

ON THIS DATE IN 2005: The 27th tropical storm of the record setting
North Atlantic Hurricane Season formed in the eastern Atlantic. It
became the second latest tropical storm ever to form in the North
Atlantic. It formed six hours before Hurricane Alice, which also
became a tropical storm on the same date in 1954. Alice actually
lasted into 1955, striking the Leeward Islands on January 2nd. Zeta
never became a hurricane, but lasted longer than Alice, lasting well
into 2006. This also tied Zeta with Alice for being the earliest
North Atlantic tropical storm on record. Alice and Zeta are the only
two tropical storms ever to cross from one calendar year to the next.
