GOOD AFTERNOON: It's here. The sound of a ball hitting leather.
The crack of the bat. Beautifully manicured baseball diamonds. The
optimism of a new year. Everyone starts out in first place. Who will be
this year's sleepers? Which team will improve the most? Spring training
started this week in Arizona and Florida. I am very excited to be getting
the chance to attend the Yankees and Pirates game in Bradenton, Florida on
Friday.

OUR WEATHER: Well, it won't feel like Spring here in Alabama
anytime soon. In fact, it is going to feel rather un-Springlike over the
next several days. Today, most of the area has experienced a cold rain,
thanks to low pressure over the Gulf of Mexico. The heaviest rain has been
over Southeast Alabama. This rain will continue tonight, gradually
diminishing during the overnight hours. Our winds will shift around to the
west overnight as the low slides to our southeast.

A little light rain will remain over the area tomorrow morning.
Colder air will begin to flow into Alabama during the day, with temperatures
struggling to reach 50 in most areas. Skies should clear Monday night, with
readings dropping to near or just below freezing. Tuesday will be another
cool day, with an occasionally biting north wind. Skies will be partly
cloudy with a mix of some sun and wraparound stratocumulus clouds from a
complex low pressure system that will be strengthening over New England and
the Ohio Valley. Daytime highs on Tuesday will only make the upper 40s..

MIDWEEK AND BEYOND: Strong cold air advection will continue on
Wednesday, and daytime temperatures will only be in the 40s. A disturbance
sliding to our west may bring back some clouds, but current indications are
that we will remain dry. High pressure will be very close to Alabama
Wednesday night, and we should see the coldest temperatures of this week
with excellent radiational cooling conditions in place. Low pressure will
develop over the Gulf by Thursday, but should remain far enough to our south
to preclude us feeling much in the way of effects. At the same time, a
trough of low pressure at the surface will be developing between the
sprawling high to our east and high pressure over the West. The GFS model
hints at showers moving back into the area late on Friday, lasting into
Saturday morning, but precipitation from this system is expected to be
light.

ON THIS DATE IN 1969: A record snowstorm in Maine was coming to an
end. Two to four feet of snow fell across southern and central Maine. The
fifty seven inches of snow at West Forks set a state record. Pinkham
Notch, NH was buried under seventy seven inches of snow. Many single story
houses were completely covered with drifts. Roofs on many buildings
collapsed under the extreme weight of the snowfall. Over two feet of snow
fell across northeastern Vermont and Northeastern Massachusetts. 97.8
inches of snow fell at Mount Washington during the period from the 24th
through the 28th, a record for New England. Portland, ME and Portsmouth, NH
both set their single storm snowfall records with 26.9 inches and 33.8
inches respectively.
