...Cold Weather Continues...

Temperatures will remain well below normal across Alabama all week, and our
main focus will be on Thursday as a storm system forms in the Gulf of
Mexico. If this was the middle of January, we could be greatly concerned
over the possibility of an ice storm. But, this is early December, when
major winter storms are relatively rare, and for now it looks like most of
central Alabama will escape with a cold, rainy day.

Clouds will return quickly tomorrow night, and precipitation should begin to
fall early Thursday morning. There is a chance that a little sleet, or a few
spots of freezing rain could be seen as it begins, but the precipitation
should change to rain with only a small risk of any icing as far south as
I-20.

We still think there will is a chance of a wintry mix along and north of a
line from Hamilton to Cullman to Collinsville, where some bridge icing will
indeed be possible Thursday morning.

Thursday night, as a surface low moves northeast of here, the cold air will
become deeper and some light snow is possible on the back side of the
system, mostly over the northeast part of the state. Any accumulation should
be limited to elevations above 1,000 feet in the area from Gadsden to
Chattanooga (mainly atop Lookout Mountain). A few flurries could be see as
far south as Birmingham late Thursday night or early Friday, but they should
be insignificant.

WEEKEND PEEK: The weekend looks dry and cool at this point, although clouds
should begin to return on Sunday. Another storm system should affect Alabama
early next week with a chance of rain on Monday.

FRIGID AIR: The mercury dropped to -51 yesterday morning at Chandalar, AK.
Aberdeen, South Dakota reported -25.
