New Years Eve Forecast


2008 will start off with a blast...of cold air that is. Hello, I'm Meteorologist, Lauren Whisenhunt.

It will be a beautiful last day of 2007 with High Pressure in control. Look for plenty of sunshine early with a few clouds building in later this afternoon. Daytime highs will be mild in the lower 60's with winds out of the South 5-10 mph. A Cold Front will begin to approach tonight and depending on if there is enough moisture to work with ahead of the front, we could see a few showers. Otherwise, expect partly cloudy skies and overnight lows around 34.

As the Front moves out on Tuesday, colder air will filter into Central Alabama along with breezy NW winds 10-20 mph. The coldest of the air will arrive on Wednesday. Morning temperatures will be in the Teens
and Twenties! The afternoon wont be any warmer.. we will struggle to get into the Upper 30's!
BRRRRR!

With the Extreme Cold expected, now is the time to make preparations to protect pipes,
plants, and pets. Bring your pets inside, don't leave them in the cold!

I want to remind you all of the importance of being safe this weekend and New Year's Eve.
Please exercise common sense. Let's all ring in 2008 on a happy note!
