Getting set for our last Storm Alert 2005 stop tonight at Mountaintop Community Church in Vestavia... we begin at 7:00, get there early to get a good seat!
The Wednesday afternoon video is on the server:

Here are the key points:
*TOMORROW'S GULF STORM: Sure looks like all of the precipitation will stay south of us. I guess you can't rule out the chance of a few ice pellets, snow flakes, or some drizzle late tonight, but no big deal. All of the significant rain will be over the southern third of the state.
*SATURDAY CLIPPER: Little moisture means little chance of rain. Maybe a few sprinkles late in the day, but most of the light snow or rain should stay north of Alabama.
*BIG STORM EARLY NEXT WEEK: This is the next major feature to watch. The latest GFS shows a phased storm, with the surface low moving from Dallas to Nasvhille and then to near Philadelphia. We should get a good rain and storm event Monday night. I am not convinced the air can recover enough for severe weather, but it is not out of the question. Then, strong north winds kick in on Tuesday with another shot of very cold air. Looks like another good freeze for Alabama toward the middle of next week, either Wednesday or Thursday morning.
Beyond that details are muddy; the GFS tries its best to bring a northern branch system through here around March 10-11 with some light snow over north Alabama, but I sure don't buy that yet.
Gotta run get ready for tonight's show... hope to see you there.
