==================================================================

GOOD AFTERNOON: Subzero morning lows covered a large part of the
North Central United States this morning. Subzero readings covered an area
from Idaho across Montana and Wyoming, then over The Dakotas and Nebraska,
into Minnesota, Iowa and Wisconsin. Records were set across Montana at Cut
Bank, where it was -35F this morning. Kalispell also set a record with
-25F. South Central Canada is in the deep freeze, with morning lows colder
than -25F common.

A huge Polar vortex is located over the Hudson Bay region of Canada.
This is keeping much of the Central and Eastern United States under the
influence of a large upper level trough. The cold low will remain locked in
place for the next several days. The eastern half of the country will stay
generally cool under this pattern. .

COLD REINFORCEMENT COMING: One of those long wave troughs will be
rotating through the South over the next couple of days. This will deliver
a reinforcing shot of cold air to our area tomorrow. Lows Monday morning
and Tuesday morning are going to be even chillier that earlier thought.
Many areas of North Alabama will see teens Sunday night. Readings will
still range from 18-23 degrees across the area Monday night. All interests
across North and Central Alabama should make necessary preparations for a
hard freeze. Daytime highs on Sunday will be in the upper 40s to near 50
degrees. Monday highs may struggle to make it very far into the 40s. After
this little cold spell, readings will return to near or just above normal
levels through the end of the week.

NEXT RAIN CHANCE: Dry conditions should prevail through at least
Wednesday. Skies will be mostly sunny to partly sunny at worst during the
next five days. A vigorous low pressure system will bring snows to the
Great Lake and New England by on Wednesday and Thursday. This system could
spread a few showers out way on Thursday, but this looks iffy at best. By
Friday, another trough will be rotating our way around the big Polar vortex.
This trough will sweep through on Friday, giving momentum to a front that
will push into Alabama late on Friday and Saturday. We may see a chance of
showers overnight Friday night and into Saturday.

UTAH AVALANCHE TRAGEDY: Searchers continue to look for five people
feared dead after an avalanche in backcountry near Park City, Utah. They
were skiing in an area marked out-of-bounds because of the threat of
avalanches. Already, eleven people have died in avalanches in Utah this
year. The most ever recorded in any winter was six. That is since records
started in 1951.

ON THIS DATE IN 2002: Heavy rains finally brought Australia's
worst bushfire crisis in 8 years to an end, dousing the remaining fires that
have been burning near Sydney since Christmas Day. Over 1.25 million acres
burned during the fires, many of which were started by arsonists. 121 homes
were destroyed by the fires. Damage totaled over $36 million with
firefighting costs pegged at over $70 million. Fires are a natural part of
the life cycle in the Australian bush, as fires crack the seedpods of
Eucalyptus and other trees, allowing them to regenerate.
