Anyone remember the song by Wet Willie from 1979?

"One Friday evenin'
What a feelin', feel like singin'
Tired of workin', my mind is buzzin'
Feel like dancin' yes I do

But you gotta make the best of life while you're young
Good people, weekend
Do just what you wanna do, weekend
When those workin' days are through
Weekend, weekend, weekend"

Welcome to the weekend. I just found out I will be flying up to Winston County in a few minutes in our helicopter for a live weather broadcast from the annual supper held by the Meek High School band and the Winston County Chitlin' Eaters Association in Arley. I am not sure what to expect; somehow this thing sounds more like a John Oldshue event. But, tune in at 5:00 and 6:00 to see whats up.

GOOD SOAKING AHEAD: Rain amounts between 2 and 4 inches are possibly, and really likely, over much of North and Central Alabama from tomrrow night through Monday night. Some rain should slip in here tomorrow night, then becoming widespead on Sunday. Looks like we might hold in the 40s much of the day Sunday with a steady rain falling. Good day toi stay inside after church and watch March Madness, or take a long nap.

We should break into the warm sector of the storm Monday, with showers and storms likely. Some strong to severe storms will be possible, although the quality of the warm sector is very much in doubt.

The middle of next week looks dry and cool, but more rain is likely by the end of the week. Yeah, I know, the 12Z GFS lost the end of the week system, but I think it is wrong.

Keep eye on the blog for updates this weekend... I have to board the chopper for the flight to Arley.

Enjoyed seeing the 2nd graders at Deer Valley today... watch for them on the KIDCAM today at 5:00 on ABC 33/40 News.

Have a great weekend!
