...Wet Morning...

GOOD MORNING: Well, it turned out positively spring like on Sunday afternoon across Central Alabama. Interesting to watch the tug of war between the warm front and the wedge over East Alabama. At s a.m. it was 58F. It jumped to 68F at 11 a.m. and 74 at 2 p.m. It was 72F at 4 p.m. with a south southeast wind. One hour later, winds had shifted to the east and the temperature dropped to 60F. At the same time, it was 48F in Atlanta. This is the dreaded easterly wedge.

RAIN TO END: A cold front will sweep across Alabama today, pushing all of the rain and the thunderstorms to the east. All but eastern sections should be free from the rain by lunchtime. A little light rain might linger until early afternoon, especially over eastern sections. Brisk northwesterly winds will begin to transport in much cooler air, with temperatures holding steady during the morning before falling back in the afternoon in most locations. Skies will begin to clear tonight, but clouds should keep temperatures in the upper 30s. Readings will fall into the middle 30s over the next couple of nights.

REST OF THE WEEK: It looks like Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday will be nice days with high pressure in control of our weather. That high pressure will slide east of Alabama on Friday, allowing southerly winds to return. Clouds will also be on the increase by that time. Showers may appear by Saturday, and will become likely by the early morning hours on Sunday. The front will push into Central Alabama and stall. Another low may form on the front on Monday.

CORRECTION: Yesterday, I mentioned the world’s most dramatic temperature rise, 49 degrees F in two minutes from –45F to 4F. It actually occurred in was Spearfish, South Dakota, not North Dakota.

ON THIS DATE IN 1971: Prospect Creek Camp in the Endicott Mountains of northern Alaska recorded the coldest temperature ever recorded in the U.S. with -79.8 degrees F (rounded off to -80 degrees F.) There have been colder unofficial readings, but this is the official reading.
