Winter Weather Advisory for North/Central Alabama...

* NWS Birmingham has issued a Winter Weather Advisory for parts of north and central Alabama. This advisory does include Pickens County, Alabama, where some light bridge icing is not completely out of the question. Elsewhere in our area, we expect no ice or travel problems.

* Temperatures tonight will fall into the middle to upper 30's -- too warm for much wintry precipitation.

* Incoming computer model guidance suggests we may deal with some strong or severe thunderstorms on late Monday or Tuesday of next week. Still too far out to really delve into specifics, but we will continue to watch that possibility.

* LONG RANGE: The weather will stay very interesting through the latter part of next week. Some computer model guidance suggests we may see an area of low pressure in the Gulf of Mexico with cold air in place. That would suggest the possibility of some wintry weather SOMEWHERE across the South - could be MS/AL, could be TN/NC/SC. We'll also be watching that closely and will try to get more specific on that possibility this weekend and into early next week.
