...Cold Blast Ahead...

GOOD MORNING! Today will be a relatively nice day across the area
with a good bit of sunshine and temperatures warming to near normal levels
for this time of year. The first in a series of cold fronts will arrive
tonight, turning things sharply colder again. Three different weather
producing systems will affect Alabama during the next 10-11 days, and there
is lots of interest in the S word, especially around Christmas, so let's
work through everything....

TONIGHT/SUNDAY/MONDAY: Skies will become cloudy tonight and there
is a small chance of a little light rain as the front arrives and a few snow
flurries overnight. No accumulations are expected, although some of the
higher elevations could see a light, light dusting. Tomorrow will be a
miserable day, with biting northwesterly winds ushering in much colder
air. Temperature will remain in the 30s all day, with little sunshine until
late in the day. There could even be a few snow flurries. Sunday night
promises to be a cold one, with readings falling into the teens over a wide
areas of North Alabama. We are calling for a range of 13-23 by Monday
morning with single digit wind chills. This will produce a hard freeze over
almost the entire area. Monday will still be very cold with a good bit of
sunshine.

MIDWEEK: Moisture will quickly return on Tuesday, bringing back the
clouds and rain chances will return by late afternoon. Notice, I said rain.
This system should be warm enough to produce rain. It will turn windy and
colder behind another cold front that will arrive Wednesday night. The
precip could turn briefly to snow on the back side Wednesday night, but no
accumulations are expected then.

SNOW FOR CHRISTMAS? There does appear to be a chance that
precipitation will return as early as Christmas Eve, and with cold air in
place, the precipitation could fall as snow across parts of the Southern
U.S. It is just way too early to be specific at this time. If you took
the afternoon run of the GFS model as gospel, there could be a significant
blanket of white (over 6 inches) beginning during the day on Christmas Eve
over parts of Alabama and the South. Not a forecast at this time, just a
possibility.
