...Colder Weather To Ring In New Year...

It's chilly out there on this last day of 2007. Temperatures fell
quickly into the lower 30s in most areas under crystal clear skies
last night. But the chilly morning readings will be deceiving today
as we are expecting a mild day with highs in the lower 60s under
mostly sunny skies. But still more changes are in store as we head
through the next 24 hours.

BEEN THERE, MIGHT AS WELL GET THE T-SHIRT: As Brian Peters has been
reporting, 2007 is set to go down in the record books as the driest
year in Birmingham weather history. As of this morning, the Magic
City has picked up 28.86 inches of rain. This is 0.14 inches less
than the bone dry 29.00 inches measured in the current record setting
year of 1895. There could be a light shower overnight, but it looks
like the record is ready to be broken. So, since we have had to
suffer through this dry and dusty year, we might as well get the t-
shirt too.

SHARPLY COLDER: Clouds will be on the increase late this afternoon as
another strong disturbance and cold front heads our way. This front
will signify a surge of significantly cold Arctic air, the coldest we
have seen since last winter. The front should arrive late this
evening, accompanied by strong northwesterly winds. Those strong
winds will be with us through much of tomorrow. Temperatures in the
morning will start off in the upper 30s. The mercury will gamely try
to struggle through the 40s, but it will be a lost cause by afternoon,
and readings will start to slip back through the 30s heading for
overnight lows that will range from the teens over northern sections
to lower 20s Central. Some of the normally colder locations will
likely slip to the lower teens. Then Wednesday will feature a still
brisk north wind with readings struggling to make it out of the 30s.
Some locations over North Alabama will likely stay below freezing
Wednesday. Lows by Thursday morning will be just as cold as those
from Wednesday morning. Throw in the winds, and we will see wind
chill values below freezing through Thursday morning.

END OF WEEK MODERATION: After a cold start on Thursday, our winds
will become easterly and our temperatures will begin to moderate.
Highs on Thursday will be in the upper 40s. Back below freezing
Thursday night, but by Friday morning, our winds will be turning to
the southeast and readings will make it back into the 50s. We should
see low 60s by Saturday and Sunday as moisture levels increase. We
will see a chance of showers by late in the weekend.

ON THIS DATE IN 1983: University of Alabama Head Football Coach
"Bear" Bryant said later that the only thing that could have spoiled
his team's chances in the Sugar Bowl against Ole Miss in New Orleans
would have been if it were to snow. Well, much to his chagrin, it did
snow the night before the big game in the Crescent City, an amazing 4
½ inches. Alabama would win the game by a 12-7 margin. The "New
Year's Eve Snow" in the Deep South also dumped an incredible 15 inches
of snow at Meridian MS, and over 10 inches at Bay. St. Louis MS. Very
cold temperatures followed the snowstorm and kept the region
immobilized for days.
