...Sunshine Returns To Alabama...

MORE QUICK CHANGES AHEAD: Today will be a delightful February day in
Alabama, with a sunny sky and a mild afternoon. Most communities will
enjoy a high somewhere between 64 and 69 this afternoon with low
humidity and excellent visibility. But, a fast upper air flow across
the southern U.S. will more rapid weather changes in the days ahead.
Clouds will return late tonight, and we will bring in a good chance of
rain at times tomorrow and tomorrow night. At this time it looks
like rain amounts around 1/2 inch can be expected, and while a
thunderstorm is not out of the question, we don't expect any severe
weather problems this time.

THE ALABAMA WEEKEND: The rain should end during the pre-dawn hours on
Saturday, and we expect the sky to become partly sunny Saturday
afternoon as dry air returns to the state. Still no Arctic air; the
high Saturday should be in the low 60s. Sunday, slightly cooler air
slips into the state on northerly winds at the surface, with highs
back in the mid 50s. Sunday should feature a good supply of sunshine
as dry air continues to cover the state.

NEXT WEEK: At this point, it looks like the next chance of rain will
come either Tuesday or Tuesday night of next week; too early to
determine if there will be any severe weather problems. And, at this
point we still don't see any seriously change to cold weather through
the end of next week. But remember, winter still has a long way to go,
and we will have several more good cold snaps before the warmer days
of spring arrive in Alabama.

OKLAHOMA TORNADO RATED EF4: The tornado that roared through the
community of Lone Grove, Oklahoma Tuesday night was rated EF4 by a NWS
survey team yesterday. The death toll from that tornado is nine; at
least 50 people were injured. Many more could have been killed without
the excellent warning
provided by the NWS in Oklahoma City for the storm.

WINDY DAY IN ALABAMA: No major structural damage was reported in
Alabama as a band of showers and storms swept across the state. The
highest winds were actually not directly involved with the storms; it
was all about the pressure gradient. We measured a wind gust of 58 mph
at our SKYCAM site atop the Daniel Building in downtown Birmingham;
winds atop Mount Cheaha gusted to 55 mph. There were scattered reports
of tree and power line damage.

STORM ALERT 2009 TONIGHT: We will be in Walker County tonight as our
annual severe weather awareness tour rolls along. The show is at 7:00
at the CHS building in downtown Jasper, and the doors open at 5:00.
Come meet the ABC 33/40 weather team, and learn more about Alabama's
crazy weather!
