...Valentine's Forecast...

Quick change weather will be the highlight as we head into this
Valentine's Day weekend in Central Alabama. However, weather will not
be an excuse tomorrow night to not celebrate your sweetie with a nice
dinner. Things should dry out nicely after some overnight rains
tonight across the area.

THIS AFTERNOON: Clouds were increasing across Central Alabama this
afternoon ahead of our next weather maker. Temperatures are well into
the 60s. Looking back to the southwest, radars have been active all
morning across Louisiana and are now spreading across Mississippi as
showers and storms continue along a northward moving warm front. This
system will mean rain for us tonight.

RAIN OVERNIGHT, FEW RUMBLES OF THUNDER: Showers will reach western
sections of Alabama late this afternoon. Rain will spread across the
area tonight. There could be a few embedded thunderstorms from time
to time. The best chances for rain will come from about 8 p.m. until
8 a.m. There could be some severe weather along the Gulf Coast late
this afternoon and overnight, but nothing for us to worry about here.
Rainfall amounts will average one quarter to one half inch.
Temperatures will be in the 50s.

FOR YOUR SATURDAY: Rain will be moving out Saturday morning, leaving
mostly cloudy skies. We will see some peeks of sunshine during the
afternoon with highs topping out in the middle 60s. Look for 40s here
Saturday night as you celebrate Valentine's night. Rain will be more
persistent across South Alabama on Saturday and even into Sunday as
another disturbance slides through. Parts of South Alabama could
receive as much two inches of rain could fall this weekend. A few
showers could work their way into Central Alabama Saturday night and
early Sunday.

SUNDAY/MONDAY: Sunday and Monday look dry and cool with a mix of
clouds and sun. Temperatures will be seasonably cool for February,
maybe a couple of degrees below average, especially on Monday. Highs
will be in the 50s. Lows will be in the 30s.

NEXT WEATHER MAKER: Many spots will be near freezing or below on
Tuesday morning, but southerly winds will start to return moisture
during the day as an upper disturbance and surface low pass to our
north and northwest. It looks like we will see a band of showers and
storms Tuesday night into Wednesday morning. Earlier, it had looked
like there was some small potential for severe weather with this
system, but recent model runs have downplayed that. Wednesday should
see the rain departing and Thursday looks sunny and cool. Uncertainty
abounds for the weekend. It had looked cool and dry, but the models
have recently hinted at another wet weather system from Friday. We
will have to wait and see.

LONG RANGE LOOK: The crystal ball indicates that we will see a trend
to colder over the last half of the month with the NAO staying
negative. The models bear this out, with troffiness in the East. But
no really cold air intrusions are in sight, at least for now.

BIRMINGHAM'S COLDEST DAY: Birmingham recorded its coldest temperature
ever on this date in 1899 with a reading of –10 degrees. At the time,
the observations were taken at the old Fountain Heights weather
office. Records were kept in an old beat up journal. Handwritten
notes on this date indicated that the temperature in outlying areas
around Birmingham was –14. If the reading had been taken at the
current observation post at the airport, it would have surely been –
14. If readings had been kept in Pinson then, (normally coldest in
Birmingham area) it is safe to bet that the reading there would have
been –17! Other Alabama lows that cold morning: -1 in Mobile; 7
below in Tuscaloosa, Elba and Opelika; -5 in Greensboro; -11 in
Florence; -12 in Decatur; -15 in Oneonta; -16 in Hamilton and
Scottsboro and –18 in Valley Head. Greensboro had 5 inches of snow
on the ground. More on the blog today.
