...Smashing Records...

The normal high temperature in Birmingham for January 4 is 53; we expect to
beat that by a whopping twenty degrees today as the mercury soars back into
the low to mid 70s. We have established new record high temperatures for the
last two days in a row, and will be close to another one today (today's
record high is 75 set in 1950). And, along with the winter warmth we should
see a decent amount of sunshine today and tomorrow with the thicker clouds
holding to the north of us, where some rain is possible over the northwest
corner of the state.

A BRIEF COOLDOWN: A Polar front will ease into north Alabama late tomorrow
night, and a shallow layer of cooler air will settle in for Thursday and
Friday. Temperature forecasts will be very tricky due to the shallow nature
of the cold air; Muscle Shoals could very well hold in the 40s all day
Thursday and Friday, while Clanton and Montgomery will be in the 60s. We
will split the difference in our forecast, and indicate highs in the 50s on
both days. Just keep in mind temperatures will vary greatly over the latter
half of the week. A few showers are likely as the front stalls out over
north-central Alabama.

Spring-like temperatures will return over the weekend as the upper air wind
pattern over North America simply won't let any real cold air get in here
for any long period of time.

GETTING DRY: Today will be the 11th consecutive day without measurable rain
for much of Alabama.

ROAMING: Los Angeles measured 1.57" of rain yesterday. I-5 in central
California was closed for much of the day due to heavy snow. Flagstaff,
Arizona will have over one foot of snow on the ground by midday today. That
same storm will bring lots of snow from Denver to Chicago today and
tomorrow, and winter storm watches cover a large part of the nation's
mid-section.
