...A Miserable Saturday...

Too bad it was cloudy across Central Alabama last night. The moon was full and at perigee last night, meaning that it was at its closest distance to the Earth, and thusly appeared 14% larger and 30% brighter than the dimmer full moons of the year. This full moon is traditionally known as the Wolf moon.

FOR YOUR SATURDAY: If you thought Friday was a miserably cold, wet and breezy day, you're gonna really hate today. As low pressure departs to the east, brisk northerly winds will pull cold air into Alabama. Temperatures in the I-20 corridor will start out in the upper 30s, slowly falling through the day to near freezing by late afternoon. Those breezy north winds will make it feel even colder. To add insult to injury, there could be a little light rain or drizzle, mainly east of I-65. Over Northeast Alabama, the precipitation could fall as snow flurries. Get ready for a cold night. With clearing skies and a cold airmass, lows tonight will drop into the lower 20s on average, with teens in the colder locations in North Alabama.

NORTH ALABAMA SNOW/ICE: Winter weather advisories continue today for Northwest and North Alabama. Some icy conditions are likely from the Quad Cities of Northwest Alabama to Cullman up through Marshall, DeKalb and Jackson Counties and points north. Elsewhere, any problems will be isolated.

SUNDAY AND BEYOND: Sunday will be another chilly day, despite near total sunshine. Highs will be in the upper 40s. By Monday, highs will return to the 50s. They will remain in the 50s through the remainder of the week. Lows will be in the 30s to near 40 degrees each morning. There could be a few light showers Monday night into Tuesday morning, but they would not be significant. The next rain chances after that will come on Thursday and Friday, as another trough swings toward Alabama.

STORM ALERT TOUR: Our severe weather tour across Alabama rolls along; we will be in Gadsden at the Convention Hall next Tuesday (NOT Thursday). You can meet the ABC 33/40 Weather team, see some amazing Alabama weather stories, learn how to keep your family safe this tornado season, and win some cool stuff. The show begins at 7:00; be sure and get there early to get a good seat.

WEATHERBRAINS: Monday night's show will feature a discussion of amateur radio, weather and disaster response. The SKYWARN and CWOP programs will be covered, as well as the future of the communications medium. Listen at www.WeatherBrains.com or subscribe on iTunes. It's free!

ON THIS DATE IN 1936: Birmingham recorded 11"of snow which set the single storm and 24 hour record for the city to that time. The March 1993 Blizzard would eclipse this mark, when 13"of snow fell to set the 24 hour, single storm, single month and single year marks. The January 1936 snow still stands as the most snow ever recorded in any January in the Magic City. Read more about this storm today on www.AlabamaWX.com.
