Colder as We Dry Out

What a night and what a storm! It looks like the weather happenings across the Southeast are beginning to wind down. Clouds will hang tough across the Southeast today as temperatures fall into the upper 30s and pretty much hold there. Any change in temperature today is likely to be downward since the northerly breeze will be bringing air across the new snow/ice field to the north of us. And with the moisture comes the possibility of drizzle or snow flurries, but I think any significant precipitation is well east of Central Alabama now. Warnings and advisories should be ending from the west today with most advisories and warnings ended over Oklahoma and most of Arkansas.

The upper trough will pass over us this evening, so we may see some clearing overnight. That should set the stage for a sunny but chilly day tomorrow as temperatures struggle into the lower and mid 40s for highs across Central Alabama.

We warm up on Monday as the southern stream remains active with a quick shot at clouds and rain Monday night and early Tuesday. But that system should zip by quickly allowing for another dry period from Tuesday afternoon through Wednesday.

Yet another system in the southern stream begins to make it’s influence felt on Thursday. This should generate a surface low in the Gulf and bring another round of rain to the state late Thursday and Friday. A stronger ridge to the west will bring some chilly air into Georgia and South Carolina Saturday keeping Alabama right on the edge of the colder air. But it appears that the weekend will be dry with a warming trend into Sunday.

With all of the uncertainty between the various models, it’s hardly worth looking into voodoo country. However, the pattern was so complex looking on the 12th of February it was worth showing. The main point to draw from the long range output is that our weather pattern should remain active.

Thanks for checking in with the Blog and the Weather Xtreme Video. I’m in Troy this weekend enjoying the Pike Piddlers Storytelling Festival. They’ve lined up some great storytellers for the event. Unfortunately one of the tellers got caught in the winter weather in Oklahoma and probably won’t make it. I do hope you have a great day and Godspeed.
