Damp and cold today but Thursday will be a soaker

HERE IS A LOOK AT SOME OF THOSE NUMBERS. 34 IN COLEMAN. WE’VE GOT 34 IN HALEYVILLE, WHERE 38 AND FAY AT 40 IN BIRMINGHAM, 41 IN GADSDEN. SO IT’S A LITTLE BIT CHILLY TO START THE DAY. ANNISTON YOU’RE IN THE FORTIES AS WELL, 46 DEGREES WITH 44 IN CENTREVILLE NOT MUCH SHOWING UP ON WVTM 13 LIVE DOPPLER AT THIS HOUR WE STILL HAVE OUR ICE STORM WARNINGS AND WINTER WEATHER ADVISORIES ON GOING TO OUR NORTH. COLBERT, LAUDERDALE COUNTIES UP INTO NORTH ALABAMA. BUT FOR US, TEMPERATURES WILL STAY ABOVE FREEZING. AND SO REALLY IT’S JUST GOING TO BE A CHILLY AND A CLOUDY DAY TODAY. OUR FUTURE CASH SHOWS AT LEAST A SOME PATCHY LIGHT RAIN POSSIBLE THROUGH THE DAY OR A FEW PASSING SHOWERS. THEN MOST OF THE HEAVIER AND WIDE SPREAD RAIN WILL START TO ROLL IN HERE OVERNIGHT TONIGHT IN THROUGH THURSDAY MORNING. SO THIS IS 7 A.M. ON THURSDAY AND YOU CAN SEE SOME RAIN KIND OF MOVING INTO THE AREA. THE RAIN WILL BE HEAVY AT TIMES ON THURSDAY. AND SO WE COULD PICK UP 1 TO 2 INCHES BEFORE THIS KIND OF GETS OUT OF HERE ON FRIDAY MORNING. BUT YOU CAN SEE SOME HEAVIER RAIN THURSDAY AFTERNOON INTO THURSDAY NIGHT JUST A REALLY GOOD, THOROUGH SOAKING. EXPECTED WITH THIS STICKS AROUND OF RAIN. SO MOST SPOTS DRY AT NOON. AGAIN, OTHER THAN A FEW PASSING SHOWERS, WE’RE JUST NOT LOOKING FOR A LOT OF RAIN TODAY. ON THE COOLER SIDE, THOUGH, WITH TEMPERATURES IN THE UPPER 40 SOME SPOTS MAY GET TO 50 DEGREES AND THEN A COUPLE OF SHOWERS POSSIBLE AROUND 6:00 LATER ON THIS EVENING AS THE SUN STARTS TO GO DOWN. ALL RIGHT. HERE’S A LOOK AT THE SEVEN DAY FORECAST. SO CHILLY AND DAMP TODAY. UPPER FORTIES CLOSE TO 50 DEGREES TOMORROW NEAR 50. IMPACT WEATHER WITH THAT THOROUGH SOAKING. AND THEN ON FRIDAY WILL CLEAR OUT BREEZY STILL KIND OF CHILLY HIGHS IN THE FOUR DAYS SATURDAY MORNING LOOKS TO BE ONE OF OUR COLDEST MORNINGS WITH WIDESPREAD FREEZING TEMPERATURES. BUT EVEN WITH A LITTLE BIT OF WIND AND WIND OUT OF THE EAST AT ABOUT TEN MILES AN HOUR, THAT’S GOING TO GIVE US WIND CHILLS DOWN INTO THE TEENS AND EVEN LOW TWENTIES AT DAYBREAK ON SATURDAY. AND THEN WE’LL START OUR WARMING TREND SUNDAY, CLOSE TO 60, AND THEN MAYBE EVEN FLIRTING WITH 70 BY TUESDAY OF NEXT WEEK, THAT WILL FEEL MUCH BETTER. BACK TO YOU. LONG RANGE.

WINTER STORM NORTH, RAINY HERE

Icy weather freezes northern Mississippi and much of Middle and West Tennessee, but the majority of Alabama just gets more chilly, rainy weather. An arctic cold front slowly sliding south of Birmingham leads the way for a colder Wednesday: just not quite cold enough for freezing or frozen precipitation as another band of rain sets up over the state.

A north wind keeps it chilly all day Wednesday: light drizzle, low clouds and the warmest temperatures of the day only reaching the upper 40s and lower 50s.
