GOOD AFTERNOON! Our front pushed northward over much of Central and South Alabama this morning. It was north of Tuscaloosa and Birmingham by late morning. South of the front, partial clearing was underway and temperatures had jumped into the 60s. An area of light to moderate showers was located over West Alabama along the warm front. These showers were pushing northward.
Temperatures will warm into the upper 60s to around 70 in many locations across the area this afternoon. A weak surface low is over southeastern Texas.
This low will become better defined as it moves southeastward tonight, spreading an area of rain and thunderstorms towards Alabama during the overnight hours, crossing the state during the morning hours. A few of these showers and storms could be on the heavy side with decent downpours and maybe some small hail, but no organized severe weather is expected. Showers should end from west to east on Monday, but clearing should be delayed until Monday night.
THE WEEK AHEAD: Temperatures will cool of dramatically Monday night under clearing skies, falling to the middle 30s in most locations with a few readings near or just below freezing in the colder locales. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday all look to be nice days, with abundant sunshine and temperatures warming into the lower 60s both days. A weak front will deliver a paltry band of showers to North and Central Alabama Friday night
SNEAK PEEK NEXT WEEKEND: That weak front will settle down into North Alabama and stall. Alabama will then find itself located in the warm sector of a developing low pressure system over the Mid-Mississippi Valley. Showers will be possible across the area on Saturday and showers and thunderstorms will dominate Sundays weather.
NATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS: Wind advisories are in effect for parts of California this afternoon and high wind watches are already posted through Tuesday afternoon. Strong high pressure over southern Nevada is producing the perfect setup for strong Santa Ana winds over the next couple of days. Cold air trapped in the valleys of southeastern West Virginia and along the Blue Ridge Mountains of western Virginia will setup a freezing rain situation tonight and advisories are in effect. A variety of winter weather advisories and winter storm watches are in effect for the Northeast, including parts of Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York.
THE 49th AND 50TH STATES: Wind chill advisories cover much of southwestern Alaska where north winds of 15-30 mph are expected to drive wind chills into the 50F range. I had the pleasure of flying into Dillingham a few years back for a fishing trip. That small town on the Bering Sea is expecting an overnight low of 16F after a daytime high of 9F. Four to eight inches of snow is expected in Anchorage today, where a snow advisory is in effect. In Hawaii, heavy showers this morning prompted an urban and small stream flood advisory for the island of Oahu.
ON THIS DATE IN 1943: The most dramatic temperature rise in world weather records was recorded at Spearfish, N.D. where the mercury rose 49 degrees from -4 degrees F to 45 degrees above zero in just 2 minutes! That occurred at 7:30 am. At 9 am the temperature was a spring like 54 degrees, but by 9:27 am it had dropped again to -4 degrees F. Plate glass cracked as a result of the wild temperature swings. The amazing swing was the result of cold air pouring into the shallow bowl of a mountain valley where the town is located. The result is that the cold and warm air sloshed back and forth before settling in.
