WET BEGINNING TO THE WEEKEND: We will forecast periods of rain tonight, but it sure looks like the heaviest rain will stay down over the southern third of the state where moisture will be deeper. Rain totals along and north of I-20 will be in the 1/4 to 1/2 inch range, and even that might be too aggressive.
The rain will end early tomorrow for the northern counties, and we might see a few peeks of sunshine tomorrow afternoon. The high tomorrow will be in the low 60s for most communities. To the south, rain remains possible south of Montgomery through the entire day.
Sunday looks cool and dry for the northern half of Alabama, with a few intervals of sunshine and a high in the upper 50s. Once again, rain is possible near the Gulf Coast.
NEXT WEEK: After cool and dry weather Monday and Tuesday, we will have a mid-week rain event; it still looks like most of that rain will fall late Tuesday night and Wednesday. The GFS continues the idea of relatively weak upper support, so at this time severe weather does not look likely. Sharply colder air returns by Thursday and Friday of next week.
VOODOO LAND: The 12Z GFS paints a nice Tennessee snow storm around 2/25, but we all know what that is. Something like is certainly possible, however, with colder air and a fast southern storm track.
STORM ALERT 2009: Our annual severe weather awareness show comes to Oxford next week… we will be at Oxford Civic Center Thursday at 7:00. We sure hope to see you there…
