...Clearing Skies...

Showers moved across Central Alabama overnight as an upper disturbance
moved across the area. The passing disturbance will give the front
the impetus that it needs to finally clear the area and by tonight it
will be well down the Florida Peninsula. Skies will clear this
morning across the area, leaving a mostly sunny sky for much of the
day. Highs today should manage to rise into the lower 60s. With good
radiational cooling conditions tonight, we expect a light freeze
across much of the area.

BOWL WEATHER: The PapaJohns.com Bowl is at Legion Field this
afternoon. N.C. State will take on Rutgers in a 2 p.m. contest. The
weather will be excellent, with lots of sunshine and a kickoff
temperature around 62. Winds will be blowing from the north end zone
at about 6 mph. By the final whistle, the mercury will be falling
through the middle 50s.

THROUGH NEW YEARS EVE: Tomorrow looks like a nice day, with mostly
sunny skies and temperatures a few degrees warmer than today,
averaging around 67F. Clouds will become partly cloudy by the end of
the day as another disturbance swings by. On Wednesday, Canadian high
pressure will be pushing down into the nation's midsection. The wind
flow between t he high and strong low pressure over New England will
funnel colder air into Alabama. Some spots will not get out of the
40s on Wednesday. New Years Eve will be clear and cold.

STORMY END TO THE WEEK: Thursday should dawn sunny and cold, but
clouds will be increasing during the afternoon. It will become quite
windy and we undergo another quick warm up. Showers will enter
western sections Thursday evening and showers and thunderstorms will
overspread the state Thursday night and Friday morning. The rain
should end by Friday night and clear and seasonably cool conditions
will prevail for the weekend.

SKY SHOW TONIGHT: Skies will cooperate this evening as one of the
most beautiful celestial shows of the season draws the year to a
close. The brightest planet, Venus, will be in the southwestern sky
after sunset with a beautiful crescent moon. Just above the horizon,
the tiniest planet Mercury will appear to be getting closer and closer
to Jupiter, heading toward a fabulous conjunction on New Years Eve.

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.
