...Another Cold Air Blast Tomorrow...

Expect a nice warm-up today across Alabama. After another cold start,
the temperature will rise into the low 60s today, about five degrees
above normal for early December. While a few high clouds might float
by from time to time, there will be a good supply of sunshine across
the entire state. Enjoy the warmer afternoon, because...

ANOTHER COLD SHOT ARRIVES TOMORROW: An icy north wind will pick up
tomorrow, gusting at times to 25 mph, bringing in more Arctic air into
Alabama and the Deep South. The new blast of cold air will arrive in
dry fashion, with only a few scattered clouds. The high tomorrow will
drop into the mid to upper 40s, and yet another hard freeze is ahead
for tomorrow night. By daybreak Friday, we expect lows in the 15 to 25
degree range again, with mid teens for the coldest valleys and mid 20s
for the ridgetops. Saturday morning should be just as cold; maybe even
a degree or two colder in a few places with a clear sky and light
wind.

REST OF THE WEEKEND: After the hard freeze early Saturday, a warming
trend begins
again Saturday as the afternoon high will reach well into the 50s.
There is a good chance we reach the low 60s Sunday as the air
continues to modify. At this point we see no significant chance of
rain for the weekend; look for a good supply of sunshine both days
with only a few scattered clouds.

Some moisture will begin to return early next week, but at this point
the chance of rain looks so small it isn't worth the mention in our
formal forecast for Monday and Tuesday. Afternoon high temperatures on
both days should be close to 60.

NEXT RAIN: At the moment it looks like our next decent rain event is
about 8 to 9 days away; toward the end of next week (December 15-16)
as an upper trough approaches from the west. Way too early to be
specific about that system, but it does looks like some decent rain
amounts might be expected across a large part of Alabama.

RECORD COLD: The low yesterday in Anniston was 19 degrees; that easily
beat the old record low of 23 set in 1949 and tied in 2000. There was
also a new record low in Pinson, where the low was 18. The old record
there was 19 set in 1987. The coldest spot we could find around
Alabama was Hamilton, where the National Weather Service cooperative
observer reported 13 degrees.

ROAMING FAR AND WIDE: Snow continues to melt across Oklahoma and
Missouri; Kansas City reported a high of 48 degrees yesterday; the
high in Oklahoma City was a toasty 58. Up in Alaska, the weather was
also warmer. In Fairbanks the high was 13 degrees above zero, just 7
to 10 days ago their high was in the 20 degree below zero range. In
East Tennessee around Gatlinburg and Cades Cove, it will become
increasingly windy tomorrow with a few snow showers and high
temperatures only 25 to 35. The wind chill will be much lower.
Tomorrow night will be even colder with lows 5 to 15 but the wind
chill will drop as low as 10 below zero!
