MORE WEATHER CHANGES AHEAD: We will begin the weekend with relatively
comfortable weather tomorrow. After low clouds and fog during the
morning, we expect a few intervals of sunshine during the day with a
high in the mid 60s, almost ten degrees above average values for late
December. While we can't rule out a shower somewhere tomorrow
afternoon, we figure most of the state will be dry during the daytime
hours. For the Papajohns.com Bowl tomorrow afternoon at Legion Field,
which will feature a battle between Southern Mississippi and
Cincinnati, the weather should be partly to mostly cloudy with
temperatures between 60 and 65 degrees. The chance of a shower is
rather minimal.

RAIN RETURNS TOMORROW NIGHT: Another weather system will bring rain
back to Alabama tomorrow night into Sunday morning. At this point it
looks like the best chance of rain will come from around midnight
tomorrow night through noon on Sunday. Average rain amounts of one-
quarter to one-half inch look likely at this point, and there is no
significant chance of severe weather due to the lack on instability.
As the rain moves out tomorrow, colder air moves into the state.
Temperatures could begin to fall over Northwest Alabama tomorrow
afternoon, with some communities dipping into the 40s with a brisk
northwest wind.

CHRISTMAS WEEK: We expect a dry and cool day on Monday. We will begin
the day near the freezing mark, with a high in the mid 50s, which is
very close to average values for this time of the year. On Christmas
Day, clouds will begin to return, and there is some risk of a little
light rain by afternoon as the next wave approaches Alabama from the
west. Temperatures on Tuesday will remain cool; we are forecasting a
morning low in the mid 30s, followed by a high close to 50 degrees.
Rain will be more likely by Wednesday, and perhaps Thursday of next
week.

LOOKING FOR A WHITE CHRISTMAS? The vast snow cover around the Upper
Midwest, the Great Lakes and the Northeast U.S. will stay in place
through Christmas Day; in fact many of these areas will be picking up
new snow over the weekend. On Christmas morning, the best chance of
snow actually falling will be around the Rocky Mountains. Denver
should have a nice, snowy Christmas morning. If you want snow for
Christmas here in Alabama, it will pretty much have to happen in a
dream, as usual.

BIG TIME COLD: Cold air continues to deepen across Alaska… Fort
Yukon...Huslia...and Noatak all reported 51 degrees below zero this
morning. Yesterday's high in Bettles, Alaska was 29 below zero.

J.B. TAKES THE DAY OFF: J.B. Elliott, the great Alabama weather
legend, is taking a well deserved day off today; he will return
Monday. I will be away next week, spending some time with my family.
On behalf of all of us at ABC 33/40 and The Weather Company, we have a
sincere hope that you and your family enjoy God's richest blessings
this Chistmas!
