...Brrrr!...

This morning will be the coldest morning since March 3rd of this year, when the mercury reached 20F at the Birmingham Airport. By the time all the observations are logged, lows should average 24F or so across Central Alabama. Colder spots will likely bottom out in the lower 20s.

RAIN TO RETURN: An active weather pattern will continue for the next ten days across Alabama and the Deep South. For today, high clouds will be spreading across the area from a developing storm system to our west. Temperatures this afternoon will climb into the lower to middle 50s. Clouds will lower and thicken this evening, becoming cloudy before midnight. Showers will be possible by Monday morning as an upper level disturbance ejects from the western system and passes to our north, weakening as it goes. Expect about a third of an inch of rain from the first system.

STRONGER STORM SYSTEM: By Tuesday, moisture will be concentrating to our west as low pressure forms over the Plains states. This low will become quite intense as it moves toward the Midwest. By Tuesday night, it will be over Missouri and showers and storms will be in progress across Alabama. In fact, showers could arrive as early as Tuesday morning. We could see a couple of inches from this system onTuesday. And with the low tracking further to the north, there is a chance we could see some strong storms, especially Tuesday night. It will become quite windy as well.

WEDNESDAY AND BEYOND: Blustery on Wednesday and turning colder. May not get out of the 40s on Thursday with widespread freezes both Thursday and Friday morning. Rain returns Friday night and Saturday. At least one more inch of rain.

WEATHERBRAINS: He was the first television meteorologist to bring Doppler radar based tornado warnings to the public He appeared in the movie Twister. He is considered the top rated meteorologist in the state of Oklahoma. He has won numerous awards, including two Emmys. Monday night, it will be an honor to have the Director of Meteorology for KWTV in Oklahoma City, Gary England, on WeatherBrains. Keep up with the show all week on Twitter @weatherbrains.

ON THIS DATE IN 2003: New York city and much of the Northeast was engulfed in a major winter storm that was dumping heavy snows over a wide area. In the Big Apple, it was the biggest early season snow on record. Central Park picked up fourteen inches of snow, while up to twenty four inches fell in Bronx County at Riverdale. Temperatures in the twenties and winds of up to thirty five mph prompted blizzard warnings. The Boston area even harder hit with up to thirty inches of snow reported at Peabody, just north of the city during the two day storm. The big winner in the snow Olympics was Pinkham Notch, NH, where a whopping fifty two inches was measured. The huge nor'easter responsible for the adverse weather deepened as it moved slowly along the coast, reached a minimum central pressure of 988 mb.
