...Ain't No Sunshine...

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone It's not warm when she's away. Ain't no sunshine when she's gone. and she's always gone too long, anytime she goes away. The 1971 Bill Withers song reached number three on the charts. If it had been released this week in Central Alabama, I think people would have been able to identify…

WEEKEND WEATHER: More miserable conditions today with cloudy, windy and cold weather, along with a little drizzle at times. Sunday will feature gradually improving weather, with sunshine returning during the day.

THE WEEK AHEAD: The beginning of the week will feature increasing clouds as our next system approaches, bringing us rain for late Monday night and Tuesday. Wednesday will feature colder weather. By Thursday, the next storm system will be swinging our way. That system will bear watching as it could combine with cold air to produce some snow for parts of the South. Not a forecast yet, with lots of uncertainty and disagreement among the models.

BLOCKBUSTER MID-ATLANTIC SNOWSTORM: A rapidly intensifying surface low over North Carolina is moving northeast and out to sea this morning. It brought heavy snow to the Mid Atlantic region, including the Baltimore/Washington, D.C. area overnight, with snowfall rates of up to 2-3 inches per hour. Blizzard warnings were in effect for areas around the nation's capital. By the time the precipitation tapers later today, snowfall records could be broken in places like Baltimore and Washington, D. C.

SUPER FORECAST: Good weather in the cards for Sunday night's Super Bowl in South Florida. Expect mostly clear skies with game time temperatures around 66F, falling into the upper 50s during the game. Winds will be out of the northwest at about 10 mph.

WEATHERBRAINS: WeatherBrains is the weekly netcast that's all about weather. Each week, the show features some of the best minds in the business. Recent guests have included legendary radar expert Les Lemon, BBC Weather Presenter Hannah Bayman, famed Oklahoma City television meteorologist Gary England, severe weather expert Chuck Doswell and the Long Ranger from Accu-Weather, the incomparable Joe Bastardi. This Monday night, one of the top television meteorologists in the country, Dave Freeman from KSN in Wichita, will be the Guest WeatherBrain. Dave is a leader in leveraging social science to improve the impact of weather forecasts. He will talk about killing sacred cows in our business.

ON THIS DATE IN 1998: A freak snowstorm dumped up to 25 inches of snow on arts of Kentucky between the evening of the 3rd and the morning of the 6th. At Louisville, KY, the snowfall total from the storm stood at 22.4 inches, enough to establish a new record for the greatest snowstorm ever in the city's history. It was the first time the city ever recorded 20 or more inches of snow from a single storm. The previous record was 15.9 inches, established in January 1994. Deep snow covered parts of Central and Eastern Kentucky as well as Southern Ohio. Get a daily dose of weather history by following me on Twitter @wxhistorian.
