Irregular showers until Wednesday, even more abundant Thursday
DONE AGAIN WITH THIS, RIGHT? NO, IT’S A KIND OF BACK AND TRIP WHERE EVERY DAY THERE IS A CHANCE OF RAIN. THURSDAY IS A RAINY DAY AROUND HERE. MAINLY CLOUDY SKIES OVER THE CITY OF BIRMINGHAM, BUT IT IS WARMING UP THIS AFTERNOON. WE HAD 62 SOUTHEAST WIND AT FIVE AT THE AIRPORT, BUT THE WIND IS FROM THE NORTH. FURTHER NORTH IS 57. AND COLEMAN, 59 AND HALEYVILLE 53 IN TUPELO. AND IF YOU GO FAR NORTHWEST THERE IS BONA FIDE ARCTIC AIR THAT HAS WORKED IN WEST TENNESSEE EVEN NASHVILLE UP TO 45. ST LOUIS IS DOWN AT 19. AND WELL THAT AIR COLD IS TRYING REALLY HARD TO COME SOUTH, IT IS BLOCKED BY UPPER WINDS. ANYTIME THE WIND RUNS SEVERAL THOUSAND FEET ABOVE THE GROUND SHORTS PARALLEL TO THIS FRONT, WHICH IS JUST ACROSS MISSISSIPPI, TENNESSEE AND NORTHWEST ALABAMA. IT CANNOT MOVE SO FAR SOUTH. AND THIS IS ONE REASON WE ARE NOT EXPECTING BIG THINGS IN ALABAMA FROM THIS BIG WINTER STORM DEVELOPING NORTHWEST OVER ARKANSAS, MISSOURI, KENTUCKY AND WEST TENNESSEE. BUT, YEP, THERE’S MORE RAIN ON THE WAY AND THE SHOWERS ARE SPREADING THROUGH THE MISSISSIPPI TO WEST ALABAMA AS WE TALK. BUT SINCE IT IS NOT THAT COLD HERE, WE HAVE NO ICE. THERE IS A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR MID TENNESSEE. AN ICE STORM WARNING FOR PLACES LIKE JACKSON, TENNESSEE, AS WELL AS MEMPHIS, TOWARDS NORTHWEST OF THE MISSISSIPPI, THEN ALSO TOWARDS LITTLE ROCK AND MUCH OF THE ARKANSAS DELTA AS WELL. YOU CAN SEE ALL THE HIGHLIGHTED COUNTIES HERE IN ALABAMA, NONE OF THEM UNDER ANY KIND OF NOTICE. CLOSEST WOULD BE LAWRENCE AND WAYNE AND HARDIN COUNTIES IN SOUTHERN TENNESSEE. THIS IS NOT FROM THE SOUTH. I THINK IT’S ABOUT THE SCOPE OF IT. IF YOU ARE WORRIED ABOUT THE WINTER WEATHER IN ALABAMA, YOU CAN TAKE A DEEP AND EASY BREATH AS IT WON’T BE A PROBLEM FOR US, BUT IT WILL BE WET AND COOL FOR THE DAYS TO COME. WVTM 13 LIVE DOPPLER WE HAVE A LITTLE SHOWERS HERE AND THERE IN THE AREA FOR TONIGHT. CLOUDY, SLIGHTLY COOL IN THE MORNING. 50 DEGREES WITH A FEW SHOWERS NOW AND THEN AND THEN. TEMPERATURES COULD GO ON THE WRONG TRACK FOR SOME OF US TOMORROW AFTERNOON. BUT FOR OTHERS, WE WILL HANG IN THE 50S AT ALMOST 60 DEGREES, JUST KIND OF A BACK-AND-BACK PATTERN WITH THAT WEAK ARCTIC FRONTIER NEARBY. BIRMINGHAM HIGH ON TUESDAY, REACHING 54 WINDS BY DAY. WE ARE SEEING MORE CLOUDS, MORE SHOWERS AND IT DEFINITELY LOOKS COOL WEDNESDAY. HIGH ONLY 50 WITH A NORTH WIND. THURSDAY IS THE DAY WE EXPECT THE MOST RAIN THIS WEEK. AND WATCH THIS. IT DOESN’T STOP. IT IS 4:00 AM ON THURSDAY. OVERALL AVERAGE ABOUT 1 TO 2 INCHES OF RAIN. SOME WILL GET A LITTLE MORE THAN THAT. AND THAT’S WHY WE CALL IT AN IMPACT DAY, JUST BECAUSE IT SEEMS SO RAINY AND COOL. VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT HAPPENED YESTERDAY WITH ALL THE RAIN AND COOL WEATHER ARRIVING ON SUNDAY. SO THE RAIN CONTINUES UNTIL EARLY FRIDAY MORNING THEN FRIDAY IT MAKES A MUCH COOLER STAY POSITION. MIGHT GET RID OF THESE SHOWERS EARLY IN THE MORNING. TEMPERATURES WILL FEEL IN THE 20S AND 30S TO START THE DAY ON FRIDAY WITH NORTH WIND 10 TO 20 THEN AFTER THAT WEEKEND A LITTLE WARMER IN THE AFTERNOON BUT A LITTLE FREEZING EARLY MORNING FOR BO
