...A Few Showers Tonight...

NICE WEEKEND AHEAD: An Alberta clipper will pass north of Alabama
tonight, and will drag a weak front down this way, which bring a
chance of showers to the state. The best chance of rain will come
between 4:00 this afternoon and 2:00 a.m. tomorrow. This won't be a
big rain event; in fact, most spots should see only a quarter of an
inch of rain. The weekend does indeed look very nice; expect a good
supply of sunshine tomorrow and Sunday with the warming trend
continuing. The high tomorrow will be in the mid 60s, and most Alabama
communities should reach the 70 degree mark on Sunday.

MAJOR STORM SYSTEM EARLY NEXT WEEK: A very dynamic weather system will
impact Alabama early next week. The initial problem will come from the
possibility of strong to severe thunderstorms Monday afternoon, and
especially Monday night. Based on the projected strength of the system
and the associated wind fields, this looks like a setup for storms
with damaging straight line winds and isolated tornadoes, with the
highest probability of severe weather for areas along and south of
I-20. At the moment, it looks like the best chance of severe weather
will come from about 4:00 p.m. Monday through 12:00 midnight Monday
night.

Following the storms Monday night, Tuesday promises to be a cold and
blustery day as a cold core upper low passes over Alabama. Dynamic
cooling from aloft, and the associated instability, will mean a chance
of snow showers across North Alabama. At this point it looks like the
best chance of any accumulating snow will come over the far northeast
corner of the state, but it all depends on the track of the surface
low pressure center. We will be watching all of this very closely over
the weekend.

LATE NEXT WEEK: Another storm system will impact Alabama at the end of
next week; it looks like a chance of rain Thursday, followed by some
risk of a changeover to light snow late Thursday night or early
Friday. We won't be able to provide specifics of this system until we
get the first storm out of the way early in the week. Bottom line is
that our weather will remain very active, changeable and interesting
for at least the next 10 days.

HANGING OUT THE WASH: Coldest spot in the nation yesterday morning was
Fort Yukon, Alaska with -29. Coldest in the lower 48 was Spincich
Lake, Michigan with -23. Hottest places were Wink, Texas and Death
Valley, CA with 90.

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. ABC 33/40 Meteorologist Jason Simpson will be at the Cullman
Handy TV location this morning from 11:00 to 12:00 noon to help you
program your receiver.
