Too Many Clouds

The Tuesday afternoon video is on the server:

The clouds over north Alabama today have kept us closer to 70, so this will not be the warmest day of the year for us. Still, nobody is griping. Feels really nice today.

Not much change to the forecast package for the next five days, expect maybe to decrease the chance of rain on Saturday.

A cold front comes through tomorrow with only a few scattered light showers during the morning. Temperatures return to normal levels on Thursday and Friday with a light freeze likely Friday morning.

A prolonged wet period will begin over the weekend. The GFS has backed off on the rain a bit for Saturday, but Sunday through Tuesday of next week looks very wet with periods of rain and a few thunderstorms. I still have concern flash flooding issues might come into play before the rain moves out at mid-week.

Don't forget the statewide tornado drill tomorrow... I will write more about this and post it here late tonight. This is severe weather awareness week in Alabama.

And, our Storm Alert 2005 show will be in Hanceville Thursday night at 7:00. Hope to see you there.

AND... thanks to Pastor Allen Atkins for the hospitality today down in Demopolis. I spoke to a large group of home schoolers and the parents at Fairhaven Baptist Church. After the show I managed to have time for a roast beef sandwich at MR. G's. Good stuff!

Hey James,

Any way possible to get a forecast for the Great Smoky's for this weekend. I'm thinking about some skiing (NOT WATER!). Thanks,

Jeremy

Here's the forecast for Gatlinburg. Enter the city of your choice at the top. It doesn't look good. :( http://www.srh.noaa.gov/data/forecasts/TNZ074.php?warncounty=TNC1

Thanks for the link. I think I will be staying at home and saving up for a trip out west where it does snow! I wonder what has happened to our winter weather. I remember being a kid and it seemed like it would snow at least a couple times a year. We haven't had a good snow in a long time.
