...Snow Late In The Week?

Seems the term blizzard is out of vogue. We can't just have a good old fashioned blizzard anymore. It has to be a snowmageddon. Or a snowpocalypse. But the winter storm that blasted parts of the Mid-Atlantic states Friday night and Saturday lived up to the hype. It will go down in the record books as one of the biggest snowstorms in the history of Philadelphia, Washington and Baltimore. 28.5 inches of snow at Philly was their second greatest ever. The 24.4 inches that fell at the BWI Airport is the second greatest single storm on record there. The 17.8 inch total at Reagan National Airport is the second highest total observed there and the fourth highest storm total in Washington history.

FOR YOUR SUNDAY: Sunshine returns today, which will be a welcome change. Cold air will continue to flow into Alabama from the north, which will keep temperatures on the cool side. Highs will be in the middle and upper 40s. Expect another light freeze tonight under partly cloudy skies.

EARLY WEEK SYSTEM: Monday will feature partly cloudy skies with highs back in the middle 50s, even an another disturbance forms to the west of Alabama. We could see a shower during the afternoon or evening, but rain will be more likely after midnight into Tuesday morning. Rainfall amounts will average three quarters to one inch. As colder air spills in on Tuesday, there could be a few snow flurries Tuesday afternoon and evening. Wednesday will feature clearing skies and chilly conditions. The weekdn will be dry with a fairly solid freeze both Saturday and Sunday mornings.

LATE WEEK SYSTEM: There has been no consistent agreement between the models on the late week system. Our main U.S. weather model has waffled back and forth on a more southerly track across the Gulf of Mexico, dragging the precipitation to the south of us in Central Alabama. The European model as been bullish on the idea of a snowfall for North and parts of Central Alabama on Friday. It will be interesting to see. For now, we will call for a chance of rain or snow late Thursday night into Friday for our area.

WEATHERBRAINS: This week, Dave Freeman, from KSN in Wichita will be the Guest WeatherBrain. He will be joined by Andrea Butera, from WESH in Orlando. Dave will tell some amazing stories from the Greensburg, Kansas tornado, which devastated that town in Keep up with the latest news about the show on Twitter @weatherbrains.

RECORD WARMTH ACROSS THE SOUTH IN 1999: We tied our record in Birmingham with 76 degrees on this date in 1999. Huntsville shattered their old record high when the mercury reached 73 degrees, breaking the old record of 68. The morning low at Huntsville was 57, also establishing a record warm minimum for the date. Follow my weather history tweets @wxhistorian on Twitter.com.
