...Occasional Rain Through Thursday...

AIN'T NO SUNSHINE: Just like the Bill Withers song, there "ain't
no sunshine" in our future for the rest of the week. And, rain will
continue at times, with more potential for some flooding by tonight
and tomorrow morning. During the day today, we expect occasional,
mostly light rain showers, but the rain will be heavier and more
widespread tonight and tomorrow morning as a wave of low pressure
forms on a stalled front nearby. We are projecting rain totals of 1 to
3 inches from midnight tonight through 12:00 noon tomorrow, and
additional flash flooding is very possible during the night with the
soil totally saturated.

MID-WEEK: Showers will diminish tomorrow afternoon, but one round of
rain and storms is likely Thursday as low pressure forms again right
on top of us. Another 1 to 2 inches of rain is very possible Thursday,
once again posing a threat of flash flooding for our state. The good
news is that the chance of strong to severe storms on Thursday has
diminished over the northern half of Alabama as it looks like the air
will be relatively stable.

FRIDAY AND THE WEEKEND: Rain will taper off greatly Thursday night,
but we believe the clouds will linger all day Friday, and maybe even
into part of the day Saturday before we finally see some sunshine by
Saturday afternoon. And, temperatures will be much cooler at the end
of the week. Looks like we hold in the 50s all day Friday with clouds
and a chilly north wind averaging 10 to 20 mph. Our weekend will be
dry, but very cool. Despite a clearing sky on Saturday, we are
projecting highs only in the mid 50s. The coolest morning will come
early Sunday; most places will see a low close to 40 degrees, but it
sure looks like the coldest valleys across North Alabama will hit the
mid to upper 30s with some potential for scattered light frost for the
first time this season. Dry weather should last into the first two
days of next week with a gradual warming trend.

MONDAY'S SOAKERS: Birmingham's official rain total yesterday was
2.74", which established a new daily rain record for October 12.
Other rain totals included 2.51" at Bessemer, 2.40" at Morris,
2.28" at Jasper, 2.06" at Inverness, 2.01" at Gadsden, and1.85"
at Chelsea. Radar data suggested rain totals of nearly 5 inches over
parts of Tallapoosa and Chambers Counties in East Alabama.

BIG TIME COLD FOR OCTOBER: Coldest spot in the nation yesterday was 16
below zero at Chandalar Lake, Alaska; Polebridge, Montana dropped to
13 below. Denver finally dug out of the deep freeze yesterday with a
high of 51.

WEATHER CALL: Weather call is our new system that provides you and
your family a great way of receiving severe weather watches and
warnings. When a severe weather warning includes your location, you
will receive a phone call from Chief Meteorologist James Spann, 24
hours a day. You can also receive the warning by email with a detailed
map of the threat area. You may also use any of the email addresses to
set up the warning to be delivered by SMS text messaging to your cell
phone. Sign up on the web at abc3340.com.
