The afternoon video update is on the server and ready for viewing:
http://beta.abc3340.com/weather/video.hrb
Lets take the events in order:
*A weak ripple in the upper flow passes through late tonight with some clouds, but nothing more than a few sprinkles. The air near the surface is very, very dry. We should go back into the low 60s tomorrow afternoon.
*Colder air slips in here Thursday and Friday. The "wedge" might set up Friday and Saturday, but we do not expect temperatures in east or northeast Alabama to be cold enough for any chance of freezing rain. The latest 12Z run of the GFS puts a nice batch of rain back over the state on Saturday. I don't think it will rain too much, but if the GFS verifies it will rain for least a couple of hours on Saturday.
*The 12Z run of the GFS also moves rain back into the state quickly on Sunday. We are not buying this just yet, but a pretty decent rain event looks likely by Sunday night and Monday. A few thunderstorms could be involved; we don't expect any severe weather, but rainfall amounts of 1/2 to one inch look likely, which is a good thing. We need the rain.
*Colder air returns by the middle of next week, followed by a series of clipper systems that will give us fits. Still no sign of a major, wet Gulf of Mexico winter storm threat, however.
*Arctic Oscillation still spikes negative around February 10, and we look pretty cold generally speaking in the February 5 through February 15 time frame.

My aunt keeps telling me that I should see wether or not you would possibly consider letting me do one of the weather segments, but I told her that the possibility is highly unlikely. Well I here some time in mid-february that we could see another arctic airmass make it`s way to the south. I do have one question, though this is a little far down the road, do you think we might possibly see a fairly active tornado season? Do to alabama climatology, and some of this winters climate and weather trends I keep thinking that we might see an active season. Well I`ve got to go, please e-mail me back. Talk to you later, and see you at wallace on the 17th.
