ABC 33/40 E-FORECAST
Morning Edition For Sunday January 18, 2009
===================================================================
IRON MAN CONFERENCE IS JANUARY 30-31

What does it mean to be a man? Is it how much money you make? The kind
of car you drive? Success in business? Our culture says these things
are important.but have you considered what God's Word has to say?
At the Iron Man Conference, January 30-31 at Hunter Street Baptist
Church, men will discover what it means to be a man--from God's
perspective. Iron Man is for all men, single or married, high school
juniors to mature adults. It is for men, by men on Friday night
(includes dinner) and Saturday morning (includes breakfast) with
teacher Don Whitney and Hoover High School Football coach Josh
Niblett. Be equipped, challenged and sharpened to be the man God has
created you to be. Deadline to register is January 25.

...Mostly Cloudy Today...

A cold front is pushing southeastward across Alabama on this January
Sunday. This front will be into South Alabama by early afternoon.
Rain is ending fairly quickly behind the front, with just a few
lingering showers over eastern sections of the state. Most areas will
see a little sun this afternoon, but highs should top out in the 40s.

TONIGHT: A little spoke of vorticity will rotate through Alabama
tonight, perhaps squeezing some a few sprinkles or snow flurries
across the northern half of the state. There should be no problems.
Temperatures will drop to near 30 degrees.

START TO THE NEW WEEK: Monday should dawn gray. Skies will clear
during the day, but readings will only make it into the lower 40s. A
strong upper
level disturbance will develop in the northwesterly flow to our
northwest. It will sweep southeastward toward the state, bringing the
chance of a little light rain or light rain/snow mix Monday night. It
will be accompanied by a strong northerly flow that will reinforce the
cold temperatures and drop overnight readings well into the 20s
overnight. Tuesday will be very chilly, with highs only in the 30s,
despite clearing skies. Look for a cold night Tuesday night, with a
freeze all the way to the Gulf Coast. In Central Alabama, lows will
be in the lower and middle 20s. Normally colder spots may reach the
teens.

WEDNESDAY AND BEYOND: Wednesday will feature sunshine and milder
temperatures as high pressure along the Gulf Coast pushes eastward and
our winds gradually become southerly again. Look for highs around 50
degrees. At the same time, the strong western U.S. ridge will de-
amplify and move eastward. This will mean a decent warm up by
Thursday, when highs should be back in the upper 50s. But another
shortwave trough will be pressing eastward into the Texas Panhandle by
Thursday night. We will see a quick return of moisture on Thursday
ahead of this system. Clouds will increase late in the day with rain
returning by Friday morning. A strong cold front will push slowly
southeastward on Friday, pushing an area of rain ahead of it.

WEEKEND OUTLOOK: Saturday should feature clearing skies, but it will
be a bit blustery with highs in the 40s again. Look for a decent
freeze Saturday night and a nice warm up on Sunday.

ON THIS DATE IN 2006: A cold front that arrived during morning rush
hour in metro New York City produced winds as high as 68 mph in the
Bronx. The high winds wreaked havoc with the morning commute, felling
trees onto rail lines, bringing many trains to a halt. Traffic had to
be suspended on the upper level of the Verrazano Narrows bridge and
truck traffic had to be suspended on the George Washington Bridge.
The resulting traffic snarls delayed commuters all over the city.
Pedestrians were knocked down on city streets.
