...Colder with a few Showers...

The leading edge of the brutally cold airmass that has covered much of the
nation this week will ease into Alabama today. Thankfully the upper air
winds won't allow the really cold air to move this far south, but
temperatures will be noticeably colder. Highs for the day will come during
the pre-dawn hours, and the mercury will fall slowly during the day. The
northwest corner of the state should reach the upper 30s, with upper 40s
possible as far south as Birmingham by midday. A few showers are likely as
well, but amounts should be relatively light.

Rain should become widespread tomorrow afternoon as a wave of low pressure
forms on the front. That rain will continue tomorrow night, but should end
early in the day Saturday. The sky should clear Saturday afternoon, and
sunshine will be out in full force on Sunday. Temperatures will warm back up
over the weekend, with 60s likely during the afternoon hours. And, early
next week, we could see low 70s again.

THE LONG RANGE: Longer range model data suggests a change in the upper air
wind flow across North America could allow much colder air to reach Alabama
in about 9 to 12 days, toward the middle of the month.

SNOW AND ICE: Calumet City, a suburb of Chicago, reported 7 inches of snow
on the ground late last night with the snow still coming down heavily. In
Wichita, KS, 60,000 people had no power last night due to a major ice storm
that downed trees and power lines. In Iowa, the community of Gilbertville
reported 8 inches of snow on the ground last night. Yesterday's high
temperature in Fargo, ND was 13 degrees below zero. Embarrass, MN was the
nation's ice box early yesterday with 43 degrees below zero!
