WELCOME TO DECEMBER: Today marks the beginning of meteorological winter, which runs through February 28. The firm dates of meteorological seasons allow us to better observe data and make year-to-year comparisons, since they’re based on the annual temperature cycle, rather than the exact timing of the Earth’s orbit. In terms of astronomy, winter begins at the solstice on December 21 at 9:59a CT, the day with the shortest amount of daylight.
BIG WARM-UP: Many Alabama communities that were below freezing this morning have warmed into the mid 60s this afternoon with sunshine in full supply. The 40 degree climb means the air is very dry, and dry weather will continue across Alabama through the beginning of the weekend.
