...Severe Storms Possible Tonight...
ACTIVE WEATHER: A vigorous storm system will lift out of the Southwest U.S. today, bringing a wide variety of inclement weather to the continental U.S. during the next 48 hours. To the north, a major early season snow storm will blanket the nation in the general region from Denver to Chicago; winter storm warnings are up for these states. Here across the Southern U.S., we will deal with the warm sector issues, including the possibility of severe thunderstorms.
THE ALABAMA STORY: Winds will increase out of the south today, gusting to 25 mph at times, and potential for gusts to 35 mph on the ridges. Periods of rain are likely, and maybe even a few thunderstorms by late afternoon. As the main system approaches tonight, there will be a window for strong to severe thunderstorms, especially for the southern two-thirds of the state. The greatest risk of severe thunderstorms will come from about 7:00 tonight through 3:00 a.m. tomorrow, with the highest probabilities along and south of U.S. 278, or south of a line from Hamilton to Cullman to Gadsden. Forecast wind profiles suggest that few isolated tornadoes are possible, in addition to storms with damaging straight line winds. Like most cold season severe weather threats, the biggest limiting factor is the degree of instability, or the ability of air parcels to rise freely through the atmosphere. We recommend that you be near a good source of weather information tonight in the event that watches and warnings are needed.
In addition to the threat of severe weather, the rain could be heavy at times. We are projecting rain totals of 1 to 2 inches statewide, with isolated amounts over two and a half inches. For now we don't expect any serious flooding issues.
REST OF THE WEEK: The rain will end early tomorrow, and the sky will become partly sunny with a high in the low to mid 60s. Then, sharply colder air will invade Alabama tomorrow night, and Thursday will be cold and dry with a high only in the mid 40s. Clouds return Friday, and for now it looks like a cold rain will fall on Alabama Friday night into Saturday. Temperatures could be cold enough to support some sleet or freezing rain Friday night, but for now we will just mention nothing frozen in our forecast. We will get tonight's system out of here and be able to deal with that end of the week system with more clarity tomorrow.
OUR WEEKEND: Saturday looks like a raw day, with cold and wet weather along with daytime temperatures in the 40s, but Sunday should be drier with returning sunshine and a high in the low 50s.
ACROSS THE FRUITED PLAIN: Flagstaff, Arizona was under a blizzard warning last night; their snow total by this morning was expected to be in the 18 to 24 inch range. The big snow storm will impact cities like Denver, Omaha, Des Moines, Chicago, Milwaukee, and Detroit during the next 24 hours; all of these cities are under winter storm warnings.
