GOOD AFTERNOON: Its a cloudy, rainy Christmas Eve across Alabama. A large area of rain and embedded thunderstorms was edging eastward across the state at early afternoon. This rain will continue its eastward journey through the afternoon hours and into the evening. Rain will begin to diminish and colder air will begin spilling into the area tonight, giving us a chilly Christmas Day. Snow fans keep holding out hope that a little snow could fall on the backside of the system, but unfortunately, that doesnt look likely. We will talk more about that.
ON THE WEATHER M APS: We find a very deep trough of low pressure in the upper atmosphere to our northwest. The trough is threatening to kink up into an upper level low that could deal us some forecasting headaches tonight and Sunday morning.
At the surface, low pressure is centered over northeastern Missouri early this afternoon. A cold front trails back to near Lake Charles, Louisiana. A warm front has traversed nearly all of the state of Mississippi and is edging northeastward across Southwest Alabama. Elevated thunderstorms (which means that they are created from instability well above the surface of the Earth) are present in the rain area. Many areas, if not most, will see some thunder this afternoon. Down in Southwest Alabama, around Marengo County and points south, there will be a couple of severe thunderstorms today before the front arrives. There could even be a couple of isolated tornadoes over far Southwest Alabama.
CHRISTMAS: WHITE OR WET: The correct answer is wet. Rain will begin to diminish fairly quickly this evening from the west. Local rain gauges should read 1/3 to 2/3 of an inch by morning, with some isolated one inch amounts.
Christmas Day will be cloudy and chilly with a little lingering light rain. Temperatures will remain in the 40s all day, holding steady or rising a couple of degrees at best. The upper low will be rotating across North Alabama Sunday morning. This feature will be associated with some really cold air aloft, which could allow those snowflakes to make it a little closer to the ground. Unfortunately for snow lovers, the lowest layers of the atmosphere are warm and precipitation should remain all liquid. There could be a few snowflakes over some of the higher elevations of North and Northeast Alabama and I wouldnt be surprised to see some location get a little bit of accumulation. The chances are just slim.
WEEK AHEAD: Monday should be sunny, with seasonably cool temperatures. Tuesday looks like a nice day, with temperatures threatening 60 degrees. Wednesday will be wet as a storm system moves across. Thursday will feature clouds and a little lingering light rain. A weak system passes to the north of us on early on Saturday.
ON THIS DATE IN 1983: 1983 saw the coldest Christmas Eve on record for much of the United States. Over 125 cities recorded record lows for the date, including 17 cities that established all-time record lows for the month of December. Chicago recorded its coldest ever with a reading of 25 degrees below zero and Havre MT recorded their all-time low with 50 degrees below zero. The all-time U.S. record high barometric pressure is recorded with 31.42 inches of mercury at Miles City MT. The morning low in Birmingham was a cold 15F. But the official low for the date was 4F, set just before midnight as temperatures plummeted. The low on Christmas morning was a bone chilling 1F in the Magic City.
ON THIS DATE IN 2002: Christmas Eve tornado touched down near Headland in Henry County, Alabama. Several mobile homes were destroyed. Eight people were injured.
