An all new edition of the ABC 33/40 Weather Xtreme video is available in the player below, and on iTunes…
Be sure and scroll down for J.B.’s exhaustive list of rain totals across Alabama. We actually wound up with some very generous amounts.
As expected, temperatures are falling across Alabama this afternoon in the wake of a cold front passage. Our SKYCAM site atop the Tuscaloosa County Courthouse is showing 51 degrees as I write this; about 15 degrees colder than the mid 60s seen there this morning. The rain is quickly moving out of Alabama, and we will be dry for the rest of the week.
The clouds should hang tough tonight, but they will move out tomorrow morning, giving way to a sunny afternoon. The high tomorrow should be in the mid to upper 50s. The colder spots will be close to freezing by daybreak Wednesday.
A cold front will pass through here in dry fashion Wednesday night, and will simply bring a fresh shot of cooler and dry air into Alabama.
WEEKEND PREVIEW: At this time Saturday still looks like a nice day with a partly sunny sky and a high in the upper 50s or low 60s. Still looks like our next chance of rain will come at the end of the weekend; the 12Z GFS hints the best chance of showers and storms with the cold front will come late Sunday afternoon, Sunday night, and early Monday morning. Sharply colder air should follow that front for the first part of next week.
VOODOO LAND: Watch the video and you will see the big shot of cold air advertised by the 12Z GFS for December 10-12. Nothing but science fiction now.
WEATHER BRAINS: Don’t forget you can listen to our weekly 30 minute netcast anytime on the web, or on iTunes.
