...Wet Today; A Cool Change By Friday...

MAJOR OVERNIGHT RAIN EVENT: We will maintain a good chance of rain and
storms this morning following a long night of heavy rain and flash
flooding across the northern half of Alabama. Flash flood watches and
warnings have been required, and the threat of flooding will continue
through the morning hours. The rain will taper off during the midday
hours as a wave of low pressure on a stalled front over Alabama moves
to the east. Only scattered light rain is expected late tonight and
tonight.

TOMORROW: A strong upper wave will spin up yet another surface wave on
the stalled front, meaning rain will increase across the state once
again. It looks like any strong storms will be confined to the
southern quarter of Alabama, and the rain tomorrow over North Alabama
won't be especially heavy, but amounts of 1/2 to 1 inch are still
possible before it all ends tomorrow night. Some communities will wind
up with storm totals of over 6 inches this week.

A CHILL BY FRIDAY: A deep upper trough will develop over the eastern
U.S. at the end of the week, and the coldest air so far this season
will rush into the state Friday. It will be raw day with lingering
clouds, a little morning drizzle in spots, a gusty north wind, and
temperatures holding in the 50s all day. The weekend will be cool and
dry; we will forecast gradual clearing on Saturday, with sunshine back
in full force by Sunday. Saturday will be chilly, and parts of North
Alabama could actually stay in the 40s most of the day where clouds
are slow in moving out. Most Alabama communities will be close to 40
degrees at daybreak Sunday.
Monday morning could work out to be the coldest morning, when the wind
will be light along with a clear sky. Again, most places will be close
to 40, but the colder valleys could see mid to upper 30s with some
risk of scattered light frost. A warming trend begins Monday afternoon
as we rise into the low 70s with a good supply of sunshine.

CALIFORNIA STORM: In a telephone chat with our own Bill Murray last
night, he was approaching Sacramento after driving down from Red Bluff
and he could hardly keep his car on the road due to howling winds. Red
Bluff had winds to 53 mph with 1.52 inches of rain. Sacramento 2.78
inches of rain so far and San Francisco 2.84 inches. There were gusts
to around 64 along the Central California Coast yesterday afternoon.
Officials in Southern California are frantically trying to prepare for
some possible mud slides of historic proportions because of extremely
heavy rain falling over burned off woodlands and hills. This includes
the Greater Los Angeles area. This type of storm is consistent with El
Nino conditions, which we are now experiencing.

ARKANSAS FLOODS: Numerous roads were closed last night in Dallas
County, Arkansas including highway 229 north of Fordyce. Almost 4
inches of rain so far at Arkadelphia and Texarkana had 3.64. At
several counties this afternoon, over half of the county roads were
under water.
