Enjoy The Warmth While We Have It!

The afternoon video is on the server:

Just looked up at our thermometer at ABC 33/40's studio in Riverchase, and we are showing 69 degrees at 3:15. Not bad for a January day in Alabama. Enjoy the warmth while it is here...

The long awaited change to colder weather begins late Thursday. A fast moving squall line should zip across the state on Thursday, and will bring the risk of some damaging wind. The GFS suggests the line arrives Thursday morning; the ETA and Euro is a little slower.

The first phase of the cold air arrives on Friday, with even colder air ahead for Sunday and Monday of next week. I sure get the idea parts of the state will go into the 10 to 15 degree range by early next week.... about a week from now. Some places could stay below freezing Sunday and Monday, especially north of Birmingham. A whopper 1052 mb high shows up on the GFS up north as the real cold air slips into the U.S... amazing.

The "Alberta clipper" feature sure looks interesting in the January 21-23 time frame. Those rare produce any significant snow here, but maybe some flurries. And, it can set up a fresh shot of cold air.

Busy week ahead... with trips ahead to Samantha tomorrow, Clanton Wednesday, and Northport on Thursday.

I could get used to this warm weather, but I know better. I've enjoyed being able to wash my car without a coar or gloves. Oh well, April isn't too far away!

Does large hail look like a feasable event with this storm?
