Shooting involving officer reported in Hoover’s Southlake area; details limited
FORECAST TO PREPARE YOU FOR THE WEEK AHEAD. BRYLEE. ALL RIGHT, CHECK OUT THE SUNRISE GLOW FROM TALLADEGA THIS MORNING, LOOKING EAST OUT OVER THE SUPERSPEEDWAY THERE. AND THEN A SIMILAR VIEW OVER GADSDEN. IT’S A BRIGHT START TO YOUR SUNDAY. WE’VE GOT A CLEAR SKY. IT IS COLD OUT THERE THOUGH. WE ARE DOWN IN THE 20S AND 30S SITTING AT THE FREEZING MARK. IN COLEMAN, 24, IN GADSDEN ANDERSON AT 30 DEGREES AND THEN MID 30S DOWN I-65. CHILLY THIS MORNING, BUT A REALLY NICE WARM UP ON THE WAY, NOT ONLY FOR TODAY, BUT HEADING INTO THE NEW WEEK AS WELL. CLOUDS WILL INCREASE TODAY, ESPECIALLY HEADING INTO THE LATER EVENING HOURS, BUT I COULD SEE A FEW HIGH CLOUDS THROUGH MIDDAY. STILL PLENTY OF SUNSHINE. OUR WINDS ARE GOING TO BE OUT OF THE SOUTH AT THE SURFACE, AND SO THAT IS GOING TO AID IN WARMING US UP AS WE HEAD INTO THE NEW WEEK. ACTUALLY THINK WE GET INTO THE 60S TODAY, TOPPING OUT NEAR 60 IN A LOT OF LOCATIONS ACROSS CENTRAL ALABAMA. REALLY NICE SUPER BOWL SUNDAY, ESPECIALLY IF YOU’RE HOSTING FAMILY AND FRIENDS LATER ON TOMORROW. WE GET INTO THE 70S. I KNOW SOME KIDDOS THAT ARE GOING TO REALLY LOVE GETTING TO GO OUTSIDE FOR RECESS THIS WEEK. IT’S GOING TO BE REALLY NICE. TOMORROW WE GET INTO THE LOW 70S ACROSS I-65. I SHOULD SAY DOWN I-65, AND THEN EVEN PUSHING THE MID 70S IN SPOTS LIKE TUSCALOOSA AND FAYETTE ALICEVILLE UPPER 60S UP ACROSS NORTHEAST ALABAMA FROM GADSDEN DOWN TO ANNISTON, SNEAD, ONEONTA IN COLEMAN GORGEOUS WEATHER. I THINK THIS IS SHORT SLEEVES AND SHORTS KIND OF WEATHER ON TUESDAY. WE MAY HAVE MORE CLOUDS AND MAYBE PRETTY OVERCAST AND GRAY WITH SOME FOG IN THE MORNING, BUT THAT’S NOT GOING TO PREVENT US FROM WARMING BECAUSE WE’LL HAVE THE SOUTH BREEZE AT THE SURFACE. SO WE’LL GET INTO THE UPPER 60S ON TUESDAY, AND THEN OUR NEXT CHANCE FOR RAIN ROLLS AROUND THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK WITH A FRONT MOVING IN. SO ON WEDNESDAY I WOULD PLAN FOR SCATTERED SHOWERS AT TIMES, AND THOSE COULD BEGIN AS EARLY AS WEDNESDAY MORNING. THIS IS ACTUALLY AT MIDNIGHT AND THEN THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS, A LITTLE BIT OF LIGHT RAIN, OCCASIONAL SHOWERS THROUGH THE AFTERNOON, EVEN INTO THE EVENING HOURS ON WEDNESDAY. SO I WOULD PLAN FOR GRABBING SOME RAIN GEAR TOWARD THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK. NOT LIKE A DOES NOT LOOK LIKE A WASHOUT, BUT CERTAINLY JUST A LITTLE BIT WETTER. THURSDAY SHOWER POSSIBLE, BUT THE NEXT BEST CHANCE FOR RAIN WILL ARRIVE THROUGH THE END OF NEXT WEEK, WITH ANOTHER SYSTEM MOVING THIS WAY, I THINK WE COULD HAVE A CHANCE AT WIDESPREAD SHOWERS, MAYBE A FEW THUNDERSTORMS TOWARD NEXT WEEKEND, BUT OVERALL IT MAINLY JUST LOOKS LIKE A RAINY PATTERN. SO PLAN FOR SOME MORE RAIN FOR THE END OF THE WEEK, BUT CHECK OUT THAT WARM UP. IT’
