SNOW PICTURES: Thanks to everyone for the great images of the snow across Alabama yesterday… see them on our Flickr feed here. Over 2,000 of them!
STILL CHILLY TODAY: Both the GFS and the NAM are printing a high of only 43 today; 19 degrees below the average high of 62. And, a pretty decent freeze is likely tonight with temperatures well down in the 20s by daybreak tomorrow.
WARMER DAYS: The rest of the week will be dry with a nice warm-up. Low 50s tomorrow, mid 60s Wednesday, and low 70s by Thursday. The good news is that the warm-up continues into the weekend; We could very well be flirting with 80 degrees Saturday. No rain through Sunday as a warm ridge moves into the state from the south, deflecting the rain producing systems to the north of here.
Some hint a few showers could return Monday of next week, but for now it doesn’t look like a major rain producing system. Bottom line: no severe weather, no snow for the next 7 days!
VOODOO LAND: The 06Z run of the GFS (see the Weather Xtreme video) shows relatively quiet weather through mid-month with no major severe weather threats. But, that is voodoo and could change.
SPECIAL ABC 33/40 NOAA WEATHER RADIO OFFER: You can purchase the WR-100 Midland NOAA Weather Radio, the best selling model in the nation, at any Publix or Handy TV location in this part of Alabama for only $29.95.
