The Plate Is Full

Morning video update is online now:

Three big issues ahead:

*The depth of the cold air in the Sunday/Monday time frame, and the snow flurries on Sunday. We will be below freezing much of the day Sunday and Monday, with looks like we will be in the 10 to 20 degree range Monday morning. Flurries on Sunday could be enough to make the ground white over the high terrain of northeast Alabama. Don't expect any travel problems down this way.

*Storm number ONE, in the December 22-24 time frame. Getting a little more confident about a mostly rain event on December 22-23, with a possible change to snow on the back side on December 24. Those often don't offer a real good chance of getting the ground white, however, but there is a chance for those of you "dreaming" of a you know what.

*Storm number TWO right after Christmas in the December 26-27 time frame. This could be a better setup for snow here in north-central Alabama, with a surface low forming in the northeast Gulf of Mexico. Might start out as rain, with a chance to snow during the event.

WATCH THE VIDEO for all the details. Headed to Haleyville today to see the kids up at Haleyville Elementary... the last school show of the year 2004! Will be back in the office early this afternoon for the next video update on the web and the news on ABC 33/40 tonight...
