Cold Front on the Way!

Here's a quick update before we go on the air at 9am.  Hope you are doing well this morning as we welcome 2012!  We are starting off mild with some clouds around.  These clouds are in advance of the cold front moving our way.  There will be just a few light rain drops possible until around noon.

The front passes this afternoon.  That front is the leading edge of the colder air that will continue moving in later this afternoon and tonight.

Overnight lows dip to 32 by morning.  Then it gets even colder for Tuesday and Wednesday.  Check out the video forecast for the details!

Happy New Year-Changing More than the Calendar

Here's the updated video forecast for New Year's Day!  Colder air is on the way.

New Year's Eve Forecast-Changes for 2012

Our high temperature today made it up to 66 degrees!  That's 14 degrees above average!  We will have mostly clear skies this evening leading up to nice weather to ring in 2012.  At midnight, temperatures will be right at 50 degrees.  Not too cold and not too warm either. 

A few clouds will build overnight ahead of a front that is moving in.  We will start off the day Sunday with mostly cloudy skies and a few scattered sprinkles.  A brisk front will sweep through around noon.  That will push the clouds and sprinkles south and east.  That front will also be the leading edge of the much cooler air that is moving our way.

Sunday afternoon, more sunshine will break through.  The wind will kick up and the cooler air will begin to filter in.  High temps for Sunday are tricky.  We'll have a high of 59 around noon time, then we will begin to cool off after the front passes for the rest of the afternoon.

It's also going to be pretty comfortable tonight for the New Year's Eve celebrations.  It will be partly cloudy later tonight with temperatures around midnight at 49 degrees.

2012 will start off Sunday morning with more clouds and a slight chance for a few sprinkles.  The clouds will move out during the day becoming partly cloudy in the afternoon hours.  A cold front will sweep through early Sunday.  That will kick up the wind and begin to usher in the much colder air that is on the way for the week ahead.

Monday will be much colder as we start off at freezing then top off at only 45 Monday afternoon.  The really cold air will be here Tuesday and Wednesday.  Both mornings, we will start with temps in the low 20s in the city and upper teens in t

The Rome News-Tribune reports Floyd County Emergency Management Agency Director Scotty Hancock says two-thirds of the losses were incurred by six businesses, with none listed as destroyed.

Keith Clark, owner of the West Rome IGA grocery, says he's still assessing damage to his store but says the roof over the shopping center will have to be replaced. He says thousands of dollars worth of food had to be dumped.

Thirty-one other businesses or commercial establishments also sustained losses that are being listed as minor, meaning losses of at least $20,000 were estimated.

Mother Nature is Going to Be Upset the Next Few Days, Plus the New Years Forecast!

Today was one of those days that makes a meteorologist like me scratch my head and say "What in the heck!?!?". We started with low clouds and drizzle with temps in the 50's, then by noon the sun started peeking through as the drizzle stopped. By 2 the clouds broke and we quickly went up to 64 degrees and just gorgeous, then boom clouds rolled back in and it got nasty just as fast as it got beautiful..... Again, I am speechless by how the weather works sometimes!
