Brian Peters: A frigid end to 2017 and start to 2018 from Alabama NewsCenter on Vimeo.

Much of the Southeast US is cloudy this morning as we prepare for an extended period of really cold weather. Birmingham hit 53 degrees for the high yesterday, and that is likely to be the warmest day we see for the next 8 to 10 days. Additional clouds today along with yet another shot of cold air arriving will hold the afternoon high to the upper 40s.Precipitation is forecast to break out to the southwest of the Birmingham area during the early morning hours tomorrow morning. The precipitation is likely to be confined generally along and south of a line from Jackson, MS, to Tuscaloosa, AL. A narrow band of a light wintry mix – sleet, freezing rain, light rain – on the northern boundary of the rain area has prompted the issuance of a winter weather advisory for portions of Central Mississippi and West Central Alabama. Primary time frame for this wintry mix will be between 3 am and 6 pm Sunday. Some travel issues are likely in the area of the advisory mostly in the form of icing on bridges and other elevated roadways. It’s nice to see the GFS and the ECMWF in pretty close agreement on the pattern, closer than they have been over the last week. Drier and colder air should push into the area during the afternoon Sunday bringing an end to the precipitation as it moves southeastward.
