...Watch out for the Wedge...

GOOD MORNING: From time to time you hear us talking about the dreaded
wedge. We will be talking about it this week, and it will have an impact on
our midweek forecast.

TODAY/TUESDAY: An upper level disturbance will bring a few clouds to parts
of the area today. Temperatures will run a degree or two warmer than
yesterday, topping out in the lower 50s. Tonight, under clear skies,
readings will fall into the lower 30s, dropping below freezing in a few
locations. High pressure will be in control of Alabama's weather tomorrow,
with mostly sunny skies. Clouds should increase during the overnight hours
ahead of our next storm system.

WEDNESDAY: By Wednesday morning, low pressure will be approaching Alabama
from the west or southwest. Clouds will quickly overspread the area during
the early morning hours. Rain will follow later in the day. At the same
time, high pressure to the northeast of Alabama will send cold air in from
the east, the dreaded wedge. If the wedge is strong, temperatures will not
get out of the 30s in East Alabama all day on Wednesday. This cold air
could set up an interesting situation over eastern sections of the state.
Right now, it looks like the precipitation will be all liquid, but be aware
that if the wedge is stronger than anticipated and a shallow layer of cold
air sets up over East Alabama, that could change. Stay tuned.

BEYOND MIDWEEK: More cold air will follow this midweek system, with
precipitation ending Thursday from west to east. A similar situation sets
up for the weekend with a cold wedge and another low bringing precipitation
to the South. Look for a cold rain all day Saturday. We will watch for the
chance of wintry precipitation from this system also.

ON THIS DATE IN 1962: Citrus growers in Florida experienced their worst
freeze of the century as temperatures dropped to as low as 12F. When
temperatures reach 28F, ice crystals begin to form inside the fruit. Citrus
production was cut nearly half in the following year. Over two million
trees were killed by the freeze.
