...Clouds Hanging Tough...

Low clouds hung tough over Alabama early on this Super Bowl Sunday morning, but those clouds should break up some as we head toward afternoon, bringing back something that has been in short supply lately: sunshine. Despite the sunshine, with colder air still flowing into Alabama on northerly winds, highs today will still be very chilly, with afternoon highs only reaching the middle and upper 40s. Lows tonight will be in the upper 20s on average.

SUPER BOWL FORECAST: Tomorrow night's WeatherBrains guest panelist has a final look at the Super Bowl forecast… she says partly cloudy with high in Miami of 69F. Low tonight down in the 50s. She says fans will want to bring a jacket.

RAIN AGAIN BY MONDAY NIGHT: We continue to be in an active weather pattern with a busy southern branch of the jetstream. This will bring us another storm system by Monday night and Tuesday. After a partly cloudy day with highs in the middle 50s, clouds will increase again Monday night. Temperatures will not drop very much Monday night, remaining in the 40s. Rain will arrive during the night, possibly starting as sleet. The rain will continue into Tuesday morning. It looks like the main window for rain will be between 3 a.m. and noon. Rainfall amounts will average one half to three quarters of an inch. Some places may see a little sunshine by late afternoon. Highs will be in the middle and upper 40s.

ANOTHER SNOWPOCALYPSE? Even as a debate rages about whether to call this weekend's storm "snowpocalypse" or "snowmageddon," worries arise that this next storm may be as bad. Snow will begin again Tuesday afternoon in the D.C./Philadelphia Corridor. Even heavier snow will arrive Wednesday morning. We could be measuring the snow in feet again by then in many of the same spots.

SNOW FOR US LATER IN THE WEEK? Still not enough model consistency to produce a forecast with any real confidence for the late week system for us. Until we resolve the track of the low, it will be difficult to pin down the chance of rain or snow. So for now, we will split the difference and call for just that, a chance of rain or snow starting late Thursday night into Friday. The weekend will be cold and dry.

WEATHER SCRUBS ENDEAVOUR LAUNCH: Weather forced the postponement of the launch of the Space Shuttle Endeavour from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida overnight. A band of low clouds moved over the Cape during the night and reduced visibility to below acceptable limits. Engineers will try again early Monday morning, with launch scheduled for 4:14 a.m. EST.

WEATHERBRAINS: I see some stimulating discussions ahead for Monday night as we talk to Dave Freeman from KSN in Wichita. Dave is a leader in studying how we can leverage the social sciences to make for better forecasts. Good weather is not enough. Forecasts must be understood, meet the users' needs, be accurate and reliable and have sufficient lead time. Subscribe to the show on iTunes, or try it out at www.WeatherBrains.com. Always free and always fun!

BLACK SATURDAY: One year ago today was the Black Saturday disaster in Australia. Wildfires ripped across more than 1,500 square miles of the country, destroying more than 1,800 farms and homes. Over 200 people were killed. It is the worst natural disaster in the nation's history. Follow my daily weather history tweets on Twitter: www.twitter.com/wxhistorian.
