Much of Alabama weather for the next two or three days will depend on the track of a low pressure area now forming over the NW Gulf of Mexico and its track.

Based on 10 am, CST actual surface observations, the low seems to be developing over the NW Gulf not too far from the mouth of the Rio Grande. I will try to post an updated position report about every 3 or 4 hours.

While I am at it, a few extra non-related to Alabama reports:

….a bitter 36 below zero this morning at Saranac Lake in upstate New York. This is unusually cold even for them.
….45 below zero at Deadhorse, Alaska, wind chill 58 below.
….our choice location where you would not want to be today: On Mount Washington, N.H., 22 below zero, wind NW 66 mph with gusts to 75 mph and a wind chill of 66 below.
….Central Park in the Big Apple this morning, 6 above zero, wind chill 8 below.
