**No afternoon Weather Xtreme video today**
CLOUDS AND RAIN RETURN: Looks like the main window for rain in Alabama will come from midnight tonight to around 12:00 noon tomorrow; rain amounts of 1/4 to 1/2 inch are likely. The 12Z NAM prints 0.45″ for Birmingham, while the GFS is very similar with 0.41″. Tomorrow will also be a cloudy and cooler with with temperatures hovering in the 48 to 52 degree range much of the day.
Sunday looks cool and dry with a high around 50 degrees; clouds could linger much of the day with occasional peeks of sunshine.
NEXT WEEK: We will remain in a fairly moist airmass for much of next week, and a few showers are possible, especially Tuesday and Wednesday. But, the most organized rain event should take place late in the week. The GFS continues to flip and flop on the intensity of the system; we will have a much better idea on Monday.
WEATHER BRAINS: Don’t forget you can listen to our weekly 30 minute netcast anytime on the web, or on iTunes. This is the show all about weather featuring many familiar voices, including our meteorologists here at ABC 33/40. You can even listen here on the blog; look for the player on the top left.
TWITTER: Don’t forget, you can follow our news and weather updates from ABC 33/40 on Twitter here. And, my personal Twitter feed is here if you want to keep up with my adventures in life. Twitter is a short messaging service you can receive via the web, cell phone, or IM.
I had a great time seeing the kids today at Trinity Methodist Church in Homewood, and Brookwood Forest Elementary in Mountain Brook. Be looking for them on the KIDCAM today at 5:00 and 6:00 on ABC 33/40 News.
DIFFICULT DAY: As some of you have heard, like most broadcast stations around the nation, we had some local layoffs today at ABC 33/40 due to the challenging economy we are in these days. The good news is that Brian Peters will still be with us here on the blog and on WeatherBrains. He is an invaluable part of our team, and he will have the Weather Xtreme video updates tomorrow and Sunday.
I hope you and your family have a wonderful weekend; my next Weather Xtreme video will be posted here by 7:00 a.m. Monday…
