...Storms Move Out; Turning Much Colder...

STORM ALERT 2008 TONIGHT: Don't forget, your last chance to see our
annual severe weather awareness tour across Alabama, Storm Alert 2008,
is tonight at Bethel Baptist Church on U.S. Highway 411 in Moody in
St. Clair County. The doors open at 5:00, and the show begins at 7:00.
The building at Bethel Baptist was destroyed by a tornado April 8,
1998… that is one of the storms that we are featuring this year. Bring
the whole family… we hope to see you there.

STORMY MORNING: A band of showers and strong thunderstorms will be
moving through Alabama this morning; the storms will have the
potential to produce gusty winds and possibly some small hail, but
they should weaken as they move to the east into a more stable
airmass. Rainfall amounts of one-quarter to one-half inch are likely
before the rain exits the state by midday.

COLD AIR SHOT: As the storms move out of Alabama this morning, much
colder air moves in. We will begin the day with temperatures in the
low to mid 50s at daybreak, but look for readings to fall into the 40s
by mid-morning with a brisk northwest wind developing. That will make
for a rather raw afternoon, with clouds staying in place. As the cold
air gets deeper tonight, and an upper trough passes over the state, we
will mention the chance of a few snow flurries for areas along and
north of I-20. Then, by daybreak tomorrow, we should be in the upper
20s. Despite the return of sunshine tomorrow, we are forecasting a
high only in the mid 40s. Another freeze is likely tomorrow night, but
a warming trend begins on Thursday afternoon.

WEEKEND PEEK: A cold front is forecast to move through Alabama Friday
night, and that should bring another round of showers and
thunderstorms. At this time, it looks like the best chance of showers
and storms will come from about 6:00 p.m. Friday through 6:00 a.m.
Saturday. Then, during the day Saturday, the sky will clear with a
high in the low 60s. The weather on Sunday looks dry and pleasant,
with a partly to mostly sunny sky and a high in the upper 60s. A
significant rain event is expected again by Monday of next week.

HEATING UP: Parts of Texas flirted with triple digit heat yesterday…
hottest spots were Cotulla and Del Rio, TX with 99 degrees. The high
at San Antonio was 92, while Dallas/Fort Worth reported a high of 88.
Colder air will invade the Lone Star State today; the expected high in
Dallas today is only 57.

SPECIAL ABC 33/40 NOAA WEATHER RADIO OFFER: You can purchase a top of
the line Midland NOAA Weather Radio at any Handy TV location in this
part of Alabama for only $29.95. These receivers have the new digital
technology that allows you to choose the counties for which the alarm
sounds. Every Alabama home, business, and church needs one!
