The Friday morning map discussion video is on the server at:

Temperatures once again dipped into the lower and mid 20s with a few readings in the upper teens. Full details are in JB Elliott's post below.

Warm air advection should kick in today as the high pressure center shifts eastward from Alabama. Look for lots of sunshine today with highs reaching the mid and upper 50s. But clouds begin their return tonight ahead of the next weather system that is expected to bring rain and showers to the area Saturday and Saturday night. Looks like the best chances for rain will come from Saturday afternoon through Saturday evening.

Clouds will linger into Christmas morning with it turning colder as temperatures struggle to reach the upper 40s. With the cold air arriving the mositure will be decreasing but you can't eliminate the possibility of a flurry or two especially north and east from Birmingham. But dreams for a white Christmas will have to be postponed to next year I'm afraid.

After a chilly Christmas day, temperatures will recover with dry conditions on Monday and Tuesday. The next cold front is forecast to enter the picture on Wednesday bringing another shot of rain with it. The string of fronts is forecast to continue with another one expected in the Saturday/Sunday time frame just as the new year begins. GFS which was forecasting some wet weather around the fourth of January is now dry.

James will be back with the afternoon video - his last one before a week of vacation. And I'll be back over the weekend. Have a great weekend, and Merry Christmas.

Hey I want to know if anyone else has thought of this?) Now since we have had a cold December what does anyone else think the rest of winter will be like?) It seems like that evertime we have a cold December than January will start off being a little warmer and wetter. And the cold air seems to not come back!) So I just wanted to know has anyone else noticed this?) I do like the temperature to warm a little but I would love to see it stay cold a little longer. We have not had a cold January in a long time so I wanted to know what does January hold as far as temps?) and if we might get any white stuff?)?) I know the price of gas is high so to heat your house with gas has to very high so we all fill the pinch. as for heatpumps the power company are going up on there rates so we all fill the pinch. But it just needs to stay a little colder longer. And yes this is partly not weather related but this was the only way I could reach the other weather people on here, like Rusty, Josh, and Dave, Stephanie and the other people I just don't know by name.
