...Turning Much Colder Tomorrow...

RAIN, THEN COLDER: A moist and mild airmass will cover Alabama today,
and with a disturbed southwest flow aloft, we expect a few periods of
rain today as temperatures head up into the low 70s. A few
thunderstorms could be involved this afternoon, but the best chance of
strong to severe storms will come over the southeast part of the state
around Dothan, where the Storm Prediction Center has defined a slight
risk of severe weather later today. We will keep the chance of showers
going tonight, when a cold front will approach the state from the
northwest. Looks like the front will push through the Birmingham area
sometime between midnight tonight and 6:00 tomorrow morning. The
showers should move out of the state early tomorrow.

BLUSTERY SATURDAY: In the wake of the showers, tomorrow will be windy
and sharply colder. Temperatures will struggle to reach the 50 degree
mark with a brisk northwest wind, gusting to 30 mph at times. There is
a chance the clouds could hang tough over the northern third of the
state tomorrow, especially along and north of U.S. 278. Elsewhere, we
will forecast gradual clearing. Even where the sun shines,
temperatures won't recover much due to the steady push of cold air on
those northwest winds.

Temperatures will be near freezing at daybreak Sunday, and another
freeze is possible early Monday. Expect lots of sunshine on Sunday and
Monday as very dry air settles into Alabama. A fresh surge of cool,
dry air arrives on Tuesday of next week.

FOOTBALL WEATHER: For high school play off games tonight, a good
chance of a shower during the game at most stadiums. The temperature
should fall into the 50s before the game is over. Tomorrow, the
University of Georgia will be at Auburn for an early kick off at 11:30
a.m. and televised by Raycon. It should be partly sunny with about 50
at kick off and peaking near 53 during the game. Brisk, northwest
winds will add a distinct chill. Over on the opposite side of the
state, Mississippi State will be in Tuscaloosa to play Alabama
tomorrow night with a 6:45 p.m. kick off on ESPN. You will need extra
warm clothing. Temperatures will be in the mid 40s at kick off
lowering to near 40 by the end of the game.

STORM ALERT XTREME: Want to be trained as a storm spotter? Want to
join the ABC 33/40 Skywatcher team? Our annual training event, Storm
Alert Xtreme, is tomorrow at the BJCC during the annual Birmingham
International Auto Show. You will be trained by the best SKYWARN
trainer in the nation, our own Brian Peters (he has trained over 6,000
Alabama storm spotters over the years), and learn from one of the most
brilliant weather researchers in the country, our own Dr. Tim Coleman.
We will begin at 9:30, and be out by 3:30. And, everyone that attends
Storm Alert Xtreme gets free admission to the Alabama International
Auto Show. There is no admission charge, and no need to register. Just
show up, but get there early for a good seat. We had a packed house
last year!
