...Colder Days Ahead...

A change to colder weather is ahead for Alabama over the next few days as a
deep upper air trough forms over the eastern part of the nation.
Temperatures will hover in the 50 to 55 degree range all day today, with
plenty of clouds, a brisk westerly wind, and some scattered light rain or
drizzle. Late tonight and early tomorrow, a few snow flurries are possible
across northeast Alabama as colder air continues to flow into the state. The
best chance of flurries will be across higher terrain in DeKalb, Cherokee,
Marshall, and Jackson counties.

Saturday promises to be a blustery day, with temperatures in the 40s, a cold
northwest wind, and only gradual clearing. Then, by Sunday morning, a light
freeze is likely for most places.

EVEN COLDER: The coldest air so far this season is scheduled to roll in here
beginning Monday night of next week. On Tuesday, temperatures will have a
hard time getting out of the 30s, with wind chill values below freezing much
of the day. Wednesday morning should feature our first hard freeze of the
season, with low temperatures in the 20 to 25 degree range for much of north
and central Alabama.

THE LONG RANGE: The computer models continue to suggest a rather cold and
unsettled weather pattern for much of the deep south over the latter half of
December. I will be surprised if we go through the rest of the month without
at least one snow or ice threat based on the pattern.

Keep in mind Birmingham has never had a white Christmas in the classic sense
(snow on the ground Christmas morning), and weather records here go back to
about 1880. So, needless to say, odds are against us. But, if the longer
range models are correct, Christmas looks pretty cold.
