...Merry Christmas...

Christmas 2006 will be remembered as a wet one across much of Alabama.
Low pressure has been lifting northward across Alabama during the
overnight hours, accompanied by a soaking rain. Now our attention
turns to an upper level low that will rotate across the state
overnight tonight. The cold air associated with the upper low has the
potential to produce some wintry precipitation.

NO WHITE CHRISTMAS, BUT A WHITE BOXING DAY? December 26th is Boxing
Day. But there is little chance little chance of enough snow to make
it white. There will be a bit of a break in the rain today before
some residual moisture wraps around the back side of the low. This
means a chance of light rain continuing through tonight into early
Tuesday. It will be a bit breezy. By midnight tonight, the
atmosphere still may become cold enough for any light rain to mix with
or changeover to light snow across North and perhaps Central Alabama.
Wouldn't that be cool? But the questions are, how much moisture will
there be and will the cold air aloft materialize. If all that comes
together and we get some snow, it will probably melt anyway, since
surface temperatures will be above freezing. So, there could be some
accumulation on grassy areas and automobiles in areas that do get
snow, but no road problems are expected. A few snow flurries could
persist into Tuesday morning, but they should be short-lived.

REST OF THE WEEK: Skies should clear late in the day on Tuesday
with clear and cold conditions Tuesday night. High pressure will
build directly overhead on Wednesday, giving us fine weather. By
Thursday, this high will be over the Carolinas, allowing for return
flow of moisture from the south and clouds will be on the increase by
late in the day. Developing low pressure will be over Southeast Texas
by early Friday morning, heading northeast as it intensifies. Rain
will enter the area Friday afternoon. Rain and thunderstorms will be
widespread Friday night. It looks like the rainfall could be very
heavy. And…it looks like there could be a severe weather event for
the Deep South and Gulf Coast.

NEW YEARS: Rain should end Saturday night, with wraparound moisture
making for lots of clouds and light rain for Sunday, New Years Eve
day. The first of January should feature clearing skies and
seasonably cool temperatures.

ON THIS DATE TWO YEARS AGO: It actually snowed in New Orleans and
Southeast Louisiana. It was the only time since records began in 1852
that the Crescent City enjoyed a White Christmas. Now, I am told by
residents of Southeast Louisiana that it always snowed the winter
before major hurricanes. We all know what happened in August 2005.
It would be interesting to check out their theory, although it is most
certainly a coincidence.
