...A Raw Day...

GOOD MORNING: What a difference a day makes. Friday was rather pleasant
after a fogy start, with highs topping out in the 60s in most locations.
North Alabama highs were in the 50s, while Auburn and Montgomery reached
70F. Elevated thunderstorms moved across the state during the evening
hours, producing a few reports of fairly large hail. A carport was damaged
in western Jefferson County. A man was struck by lightning in eastern
Tuscaloosa County near Vance. Fortunately, he survived.

TURN TO COLDER: The thunderstorm activity was occurring ahead of a low
pressure system that traversed the state overnight. Northwesterly winds on
the back side of the low ushered in much colder air. Temperatures today
will not rise very much, if at all. This means that readings will stay in
the 30s over North Alabama all day to the lower 40s over Central Alabama.
It will also be on the windy side, with northwest winds averaging 10-18 mph.

Our surface low is located over West Virginia this morning. The wraparound
moisture on the back side of the low is mixing with the cold air to produce
a few snow flakes over North Alabama. Will not be surprised to see some
lightaccumulations from last night over the Tennessee Valley. Snow flurries
could linger over Northeast Alabama through the day.

Skies will remain cloudy most of the day, with perhaps some clearing by late
afternoon. But the clearing may wait until tonight. As winds die down and
skies clear overnight, temperatures will drop into the middle 20s in most
locations. A few colder locations might flirt with 20 degrees.

LOOKING AHEAD: Sunday looks to be a sunny but cold day, with highs in the
40s. Then things get interesting for Sunday night into Monday morning as a
low pressure system approaches from the west. There could be a snow threat
by then, as the low passes across South Alabama. The critical snow
thickness line will be right around Birmingham. Precipitation could mix
with or fall as snow late Sunday night into Monday morning. It will make
for an interesting weekend in the office.
