It's always nice when the actual weather behaves nicely and goes along well with the forecast. That was the situation overnight as rain entered Alabama from the west shortly before midnight and moved steadily across the state. The rain should be out of the state by noon today. JB reports that Montgomery had 1.30" of rain and I recorded 0.88 in my gauge, so the forecast amounts of one to one and a half were fairly close.
Except for the breezy conditions, it should be a warm day today as sunshine allows afternoon temperatures to threaten the 70-degree mark. Wow, and this is January.
A second and much colder front will move through the state Monday bringing much cooler air - actually values that are close to normal but will feel colder because of the above normal readings we've had the last couple of days. Lows Tuesday and Wednesday morning will be down in the lower 30s.
Tuesday will be sunny and dry before moisture returns a chance of showers on Wednesday. A series of weak upper level disturbances through the end of the week will keep some clouds and low chances for showers in the forecast. A much stronger disturbance is forecast to develop in the Friday-Saturday time frame bringing the possibility of severe weather to the Southeast US. This will be a system to watch because of the possibility of finally being able to tap good Gulf moisture and warmth which we just have not been able to do with the last several systems.
And Storm Alert 2006 begins this coming Thursday in Hamilton. Check the ABC 3340 web site for locations of each of the shows. Hope to see you there.
Have a great Sunday and a wonderful upcoming week. Stay weather-wise!
