Good morning everyone

 

Good morning

 

Good morning Bret.

 

Mornin fellas.
So, I applied for that job. I just sent my buddy a text letting him know. Apparently if you have a city employee give you a referral, it "pushes" your app to the top.

 

Good morning Phil.

From AlabamaWX

DRY DAY AHEAD: Look for a high in the mid 50s across most of Alabama today with intervals of sunshine as dry air returns to the state. Clouds thicken tonight and tomorrow ahead of an Arctic front; some light rain is possible ahead of the front during the afternoon and evening hours, but amounts should be light (generally under one tenth of an inch).

Here are important notes on the bitterly colder air that will roll into Alabama tomorrow night:

*The bitterly cold Arctic air will move into the northwest corner of the state around 10:00 tomorrow night; temperatures fall rapidly after midnight, reaching the 5-15 degree range by daybreak Friday (for the northern half of the state).

*Light snow showers and snow flurries are likely in the cold air tomorrow night and Friday morning. Deeper moisture will be exiting the state rapidly as the cold air arrives; no meaningful accumulation is expected. But, might be a few spots where the grass gets white, especially across higher terrain.

*Strong northwest winds of 15-30 mph will bring the wind chill index down into the -10 to -15 degree range early Friday over North Alabama. The wind chill index will remain below zero through much of the day.



*Those strong winds will dry the roads quickly, and widespread travel problems are not expected. However, if there are any spots with standing water, it will turn to ice quickly, so watch for icy spots if you are driving Friday!

*Air temperatures will dip into the 5-12 degree range over the northern half of the state early Saturday morning; lows will be in the teens down to the Gulf Coast.

*It will likely be Monday of next week (December 26) before temperatures rise above freezing over the northern half of Alabama… meaning many communities will experience over 72 consecutive hours of sub-freezing temperatures. This will be the coldest Christmas for most of Alabama since 1989.

* PEOPLE: It will be dangerously cold, especially for those without adequate shelter and safe sources of warmth!

-Wear layers and have extra blankets on hand.
-Check on neighbors.
-Ensure loved ones/neighbors have a safe and reliable heat source.
-Arrange for emergency heat in case of power failure.
-Practice home heating safety. Keep heating equipment at least 3 feet from anything that can burn; do not plug space heaters into an extension cord or power strip.
-If traveling, make sure you are ready to handle any surprises that may leave you stranded. Have supplies such as water and food, warm clothes and blankets, and a charged cell phone. Don’t let your gas tank get too low so that you can periodically run the engine for heat.

*PETS: Not all furry family members are equipped to handle the bitter cold! They can die if left exposed to extreme temperatures!

-Bring pets indoors with a source of food and water.
-Ensure pets will not be able to gain access to hazardous materials or items.

*PIPES: They can burst, leaving you without water and result in damage to your home!

-Cover/insulate or drain exposed pipes before Thursday.
-Drip faucets.

NEXT WEEK: The week looks dry with a warming trend; temperatures reach the low 60s by Friday (December 30)… See the daily Weather Briefing video for maps, graphics, and more details.



ON THIS DATE IN 1967: An F4 tornado traveled 33 miles across Iron and Washington Counties in Missouri during an unusual time of day, 12:45 to 1:20 am. The tornado killed 3 and injured 52 others. Most of the intense damage occurred in the town of Potosi, about 55 miles southwest of St. Louis.
