...More Cold Air Invading Alabama..

WHO LEFT THE FRONT DOOR OPEN: Someone did, because here we go with
another invasion of cold arctic air from the Far North. It was moving
in quickly this afternoon. Upper air charts show that there is no
interference all the way into Northern Canada for the south-moving
arctic air.
The good news is that we do not expect exceptionally low temperatures
like we had over the weekend where at least one location in NE Alabama
had a low near 10.

As this cold air pours southward this afternoon, snow flurries were
developing over East Tennessee and even into North Alabama. A few
flurries have been reported over NW Alabama. The National Weather
Service in Huntsville cautions that as much as ½ inch could
accumulate, especially in the higher terrain of NE Madison County,
Jackson County and Northern DeKalb County where temperatures had
already dropped to freezing this afternoon.
Further south over North and Central Alabama, only flurries are
expected. You may see a few small flakes even as far south as
Tuscaloosa, Birmingham and Anniston. No accumulation.

By daybreak, we will be back where we do not want to be with
temperatures in the mid 20s. Brisk NW winds will continue Tuesday with
highs not getting out of the 30s and we expect a low of 22 for Tuesday
night and Wednesday morning. After that a warming trend getting up to
near 60 by Thursday and Friday. Next chance of showers will be later
in the day Friday but more so Friday night and Saturday morning. We do
not believe this will be a big rain event.

INAUGURATION WEATHER: In Washington, the temperature will drop to
around 25 tonight with a high tomorrow only near freezing. North wind
will gust to 25 mph at times and there could be a few flurries.

SPOKANE UPDATE: That Eastern Washington city has become our poster
city to check on this winter because of snow. Their total so far this
season—an
astounding 80 inches. The average by January 19 is only 29 inches.
Their good news is the snow has melted down to only 2 inches on the
ground this morning.

ROAMING OVER NORTH AMERICA: Up to 4 inches of snow tonight over NE
Tennessee around Johnson City, Kingsport and Bristol and as much as 8
inches at Roan Mountain and Mountain City. There will also be snow in
both of the Carolinas. The coldest in Alaska this morning was 24 below
at Atqasuk. An all-time January rain event at Yakutak in Western
Alaska Sunday with 7.44 inches.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Every morning during our recent severely
cold weather my little 9-pound pal, better known as Little Miss Molly,
had me out by the crack of dawn for a walk. It was very comfortable
outside this morning and, would you believe she slept until 10:00. I
did not mind. So busy over the weekend that I cannot remember but one
short ballgame with her. She is very patient about that, but if I do
not play with her, she will gather some balls and play by herself
racing through the house and bouncing off of the couch and recliner.
Life goes on.
