ABC 33/40 E-FORECAST
Morning Edition For Friday January 8, 2010
===================================================================
BELIEVE

When you hear the name "Jesus," what comes to your mind?

Do you think of Him as a good man, a teacher of morals...or
as the Savior, Lord and Treasure of your life? What you believe
about Jesus determines how you live your life...from the way
you treat people...to what you treasure most.

Join us this Sunday at Hunter Street Baptist Church in Hoover.
We'll look at what it means to truly believe...and why it matters.

Hunter Street is located at 2600 John Hawkins Parkway (Hwy 150)
in Hoover. Sunday service times are 8:05, 9:30 and 10:45 a.m.

...An Arctic Chill...

BIG TIME COLD: We begin this January day in Alabama with a new surge of Arctic air blowing into the state. Temperatures will be in the 14 to 19 degree range early this morning, and lingering moisture left on the roads will be all ice, so be extra careful this morning as you drive into work or school. As of fax deadline time late last night, all roads in Etowah County were closed due to ice, along with roads in the city of Oneonta. Major icing problems were also reported over parts of Calhoun, St. Clair, Cleburne, Randolph, and Talladega Counties. Road conditions should slowly improve today thanks to evaporation/sublimation.

Most Alabama communities will fail to reach the 30 degree mark today, and throw in a brisk northwest wind of 10 to 20 mph, we will experience wind chill index values in the 0 to 10 degree range much of the day. And, few scattered snow flurries are not out of the question.

FRIGID WEEKEND: The weather won't change much tomorrow. We will begin the day in the 10 to 15 degree range, followed by a high only in the mid to upper 20s with wind chill index values in the single digits at times. And, once again, a few snow flurries or snow showers are possible as a disturbance rides down the back side of the upper trough over the eastern U.S. Then, temperatures will drop down to near 10 degrees early Sunday, with single digits likely for the colder valleys across the northern half of the state. We should finally ease above the freezing mark again Sunday afternoon with a high in the mid 30s.

NEXT WEEK: The warming trend will be more noticeable Monday, with afternoon temperatures reach the 40s. At this time it looks like the next chance of precipitation will come toward the end of next week, and in the form of rain.

YESTERDAY'S SNOW: Some of the heaviest snow in Alabama yesterday came during the evening hours, with totals of 1 inch reported over parts of Clay, Cleburne, and Talladega Counties in East Alabama. A dusting to 1/2 inch was common over the northern third of the state, but Tuscaloosa and Birmingham were short changed with only a trace amount of snow. A nose of warm air about 2,000 to 4,000 feet off the ground turned much of the precipitation into rain along and south of I-20, where the moisture was the best.

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.
