===================================================================
Black ice is an insidious weather hazard. It forms when leftover moisture freezes on road surfaces. It is called black ice because it is virtually invisible. It is deadly because it can cause vehicles to spin out of control with no warning. Isolated black ice will be a problem through the late morning across Central and North Alabama. Be careful when driving through mid-morning. Give yourself extra time to make it to your destination this morning and be alert for slippery patches on roads and especially bridges.
FREEZING FOG: Clearing and cold conditions over northern Mississippi and Western Tennessee late last night and early this morning led to the development of fog that is freezing on contact with exposed surfaces. This can confront drivers with the double whammy of greatly reduced visibility and patchy ice, especially on bridges. Fortunately, cloud cover t hrough most of the night prevented Alabama drivers from dealing with this threat.
SUNSHINE RETURNS: Sunny skies will return across the area for your Sunday, but it will still be chilly, as cold air continues to be transported into the area. Highs will be in the 40s for the most part.
NEW WORK WEEK: Monday will feature partly cloudy skies, but there could be a shower or two Monday night and early Tuesday. Wednesday returns to partly cloudy conditions, but skies will be on the increase Thursday, with rain returning Thursday night. Showers will remain in the forecast through Friday as a surface low moves into Georgia. Dry conditions will return for the weekend.
STORM ALERT TOUR: Our severe weather tour across Alabama rolls along; we will be in Gadsden at the Convention Hall next Tuesday (NOT Thursday). You can meet the ABC 33/40 Weather team, see some amazing Alabama weather stories, learn how to keep your family safe this tornado season, and win some cool stuff. The show begins at 7:00; be sure and get there early to get a good seat.
WEATHERBRAINS: Make sure you listen to this past week's episode of WeatherBrains, the weekly netcast that's all about weather. Legendary radar expert Les Lemon was the Guest WeatherBrain, talking about his career of research into severe weather and radar. He also told a story about the Kansas City tornado in 1957 that nearly hit his family's home. This week, we will be talking about amateur radio and its importance in severe weather reporting and disaster response with Allen Pitts (W1AGP) from the American Radio Relay League and Rob Macedo (KD1CY), a SKYWARN leader from Massachusetts. Keep up with the latest news about the show on Twitter @weatherbrains. Subscribe on iTunes or listen at www.WeatherBrains.com.
TORNADOLESS MONTH IN JANUARY 2003: No tornadoes were reported in the United States during January 2003, the first time that any month had no reported tornadoes since November 1976. The first tornado would occur on February 15th in Louisiana. Follow my weather history tweets @wxhistorian on Twitter.com.
