...Showers Return Tonight...

Skies were cloudy and foggy at dawn across much of Central Alabama on
this final Saturday of 2007. But they cleared quickly in most areas
after sunrise. By mid-morning, clear to partly cloudy skies were in
place for the most part, with the exception of a few areas where low
clouds were hanging tougher, like the northwest corner of the state.
With a good bit of sunshine today, temperatures will warm to near 60
degrees on average. Rain was still falling over South and
Southeast Alabama, in the vicinity of the front that moved through
yesterday. Since it is parallel to the upper flow, it has lost its
forward momentum. It will be a player in our weather starting tonight.

SHOWERS AHEAD: Changes will begin to occur as early as tonight.
Showers will begin to increase this evening over Louisiana and
southern Mississippi in response to an upper level disturbance that
will be swinging across the region. The showers will spread northward
through the overnight hours and spill over into Sunday morning. Most
areas will pick up between one quarter and one half inch of rain from
this system. There will be an axis of heavier rain concentrated
somewhere across the area, and it has consistently looked like that
will occur in a southwest to northeast stripe bordered by Butler/
Linden, Camden/Marion, Montgomery/Clanton, and Opelika/Wedowee. Some
places in this area will receive over an inch of rain. The Atlanta
area may pick up an inch. Temperatures overnight will drop into the
lower 40s by morning.

FOR YOUR SUNDAY: The rain will end from southwest to
northeast on Sunday morning, followed by clearing skies by lunchtime.
Temperatures will top out in the middle to upper 50s. Readings Sunday
night will fall into the middle 30s.

THE WEEK AHEAD: By Monday morning, another disturbance
will be intensifying as it moves out on the Plains. Our winds will
become southerly as a surface high slides to the east and the
disturbance heads our way. A strong cold front will barrel towards
Alabama Monday night, and our winds will turn to the northwest and
become brisk in its wake. There could be a little light rain or
showers with its passage. Tuesday looks like it will be a raw day
with lingering clouds, falling temperatures and a biting northwest
wind. Could there be a snow flurry or two? Temperatures Tuesday
night will plummet into the lower 20s in most spots, with teens in the
normally colder locations. The models have backed off a bit on the
idea of Wednesday staying below freezing all day, but the mercury will
struggle to get out of the 30s, and there still will be a brisk north
wind. Thursday will be a bit warmer, and the real moderation of
temperatures will begin on Friday as our winds become southerly once
again. Showers will not be far behind.

ON THIS DATE IN 1894: The town of Frostproof, Florida
was incorporated in 1886. Local real estate developers, intent on
attracting citrus farmers to the area, lobbied to have the town named
Frostproof. While popular opinion favored another name, the real
estate agent who volunteered to deliver the town's official
application to the U.S. Postal Service changed the application to read
Frostproof. Frostproof was anything but, and a devastating freeze
affected the area on this date, causing severe damage to agricultural
interests across much of the state. Another bad freeze occurred the
following February and was followed by another a couple of years
later. The town petitioned to have its name changed, but it would be
changed back in 1906 and is still called Frostproof today.
