...Brrr! It is cold!...

GOOD MORNING! Today marks the anniversary of two significant earthquakes
that occurred one year apart in 1994 and 1995. We discuss those in today's
Weather Talk. It is also one of our most significant holidays, as we
celebrate the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King. Birmingham was at the
epicenter of another kind of earthquake in the early 1960s. If you haven't
already read it, pick up a copy of Diane McWhorter's excellent book on the
civil rights movement in Birmingham, "Carry Me Home."

CHILLY START: Yesterday was a classic example of cold air advection in
action. Someone left the back door open, and lots of Arctic air flowed into
Alabama on strong northwesterly winds. Temperatures were heading quickly
toward the teens over parts of North Alabama at forecast deadline time.
With a persistent, brisk northwest wind continuing, wind chills were in the
teens, with a few single digits even. Temperatures today will be hard
pressed to even make 40 in some North Alabama locations. Temperatures
tonight will be a few degrees colder, with teens commonplace across northern
Alabama. Precautions should be taken for a hard freeze tonight.

REST OF THE WEEK: High pressure will provide us with dry weather through
midweek. On Wednesday, the high should move east of Alabama, allowing a
southerly flow to return. Temperatures will moderate after that. A series
of disturbances will pass to the north of the state starting on Thursday.
We will see increased clouds on Thursday, and again on Saturday, when there
will be a better chance of rain.

ON THIS DATE IN 1999: A storm system, unusually strong for the time of
year, produced several tornadoes over Arkansas and western Tennessee,
killing eight and injuring 131. Damage totaled $40 million. Hardest hit
was Jackson, TN, where two separate tornadoes (one an F3, one an F4) struck
the northern and southern sections of the town. 200 homes were destroyed,
300 others damaged. Six people died in Jackson.
