...Temperatures Remain Cold...

COULD IT BE? I hesitate to mention this, but the computer guidance for the
weekend now shows a colder and deeper storm impacting Alabama. The system
should bring periods of rain Saturday and Saturday night, and there is
actually some chance of a change to snow on the back side of the storm on
Christmas morning.

We sure don't want to go overboard on this, but this setup has shown up on
consecutive model runs. Low level temperatures might be too warm, and any
snow flakes could melt on the way down. And, the deepest moisture could be
east of here before the cold air arrives. You know the usual problems with
snow here in Alabama.

But I guess we have to at least raise the possibility for those long time
dreamers. Most of Alabama has never seen a "White Christmas" in the classic
sense.

SHORT TERM: A strong upper air system will roll through Alabama late today
and tonight. This system did produce light snow over much of Oklahoma
yesterday, but it looks like the very dry air over Alabama will prevent most
snow flakes from reaching the ground. A few isolated flurries could be seen
tonight, but most places will be simply cold and dry.

The mercury will struggle to reach the mid 40s today, by daybreak tomorrow
morning mid 20s are likely. Some of the colder spots will be closer to 20
degrees.

A warming trend begins on Thursday, and we might even see 60 degrees in
spots by Friday afternoon as winds turn to the south.

ROAMING: Quite a warm-up for Denver in the days ahead; the mercury dropped
to 5 degrees yesterday morning, but by tomorrow afternoon they should reach
the mid 50s.
