...Happy Valentine's Day...

Happy Valentine's Day to everyone out there today. I hope that you
have a chance to tell your Valentine what he or she means to you on
this special day. The weather is not perfect for Valentine's Day
across Central Alabama, but it's not bad either. Let's look into the
forecast.

ON THE WEATHER MAPS: A surface low is over eastern Kentucky with a
trailing cold front that is moving through Central Alabama. Another
surface low was near New Orleans. In the upper levels of the
atmosphere, we find basically zonal, or flat west to east flow across
the southern tier of states. A disturbance in the flow is near
Denver. These are the players in our weather for the short run.

TONIGHT/SUNDAY: Some drier air is working our way from northern
Mississippi and western Tennessee this afternoon. This will allow for
the sun to break
through at times before sunset. But clouds will remain fairly thick
through the overnight as the Colorado disturbance heads our way. It
will trigger another round of showers and storms over South Alabama
tonight and Sunday morning. Further north in Central Alabama, there
could be a few scattered showers, but rainfall coverage will be small
and rainfall amounts will be negligible. The upper disturbance will
slide by tomorrow and as it does, our upper flow will become
northwesterly, giving us drier air for the start to the week. Lows
tonight will drop to near 40 degrees across Central Alabama. Look for
highs in the lower and middle 50s tomorrow.

THE WEEK AHEAD: By Monday morning, readings will be near freezing
across Central Alabama. The day should dawn sunny and chilly.
Temperatures will warm into the middle and upper 50s during the
afternoon. A large surface high to our north will shift southeastward
on Monday, turning our flow around to the south and allowing moisture
to return. Looking out over the eastern Pacific, we see a big upper
trough getting ready to swing onshore over the western United States.
This system will progress eastward in the week ahead. Look for a
disturbance to eject into Colorado Monday, spinning up a low over the
Plains states.

This low will move northeast and rain and storms will move into
Alabama late Tuesday night. They will continue into Wednesday as a
second disturbance serves
to deepen the upper trough further. This spells colder air for the
end of the week. There could even be a few snow flurries Thursday
morning over the Tennessee Valley. Look for a solid freeze Thursday
night. As a reinforcing shot of cold air arrives on Saturday
morning, there could be enough moisture to wring out a few sprinkles
or even snow flurries over Northeast Alabama. Winter is not through
with us just yet.

ON THIS DATE IN 1895: An amazing coastal low brought record snow from
the Texas coast northeastward to Louisiana and eastward into southern
Georgia and northern Florida. The 24 inches of snow that fell in
Rayne, Louisiana (only 50 miles inland from the Gulf,) is the state's
all time single storm record. 15.4 inches fell in Galveston, with up
to 20-22 inches in the area around Houston. Twenty two inches fell in
Lake Charles, Louisiana with 15 inches in Cameron. Deep in Cajun
country, Houma, Louisiana recorded 16 inches. Two inches fell at the
mouth of the Mississippi River at Port Eads. Other all time records
included: 12.5 inches in Baton Rouge and 8.5 inches in New Orleans.
The snow extended into southern Mississippi, when 8.6 inches fell at
Hattiesburg and 6.2 inches at Biloxi. Mobile recorded its all time
record snow with 6 inches.
