Good Looking Saturday

The Saturday map discussion video is on the server at:

Running a tad late this morning. Been a busy week as I enjoyed speaking to the group at Math Night at Elvin Hill Elementary School in Columbiana on Tuesday night and then participating along with Jeff Speegle in the career day event at Riverchase Middle School.

Looks like most of Alabama will have a great daytime Saturday as clouds mass to our west. A fairly strong storm system will be rolling through the state tonight. The Storm Prediction Center has a large area outlooked for slight risk severe to our west but it does not apppear that we'll see severe weather tonight. Perhaps a squall line will affect the state after midnight with some rumbles of thunder and rainfall on the order of one to one and a half inches. Rain should be exiting the eastern side of the state by early Sunday afternoon.

A second short wave comes by on Monday but it looks like it will be starved for moisture through there is an outside chance for a shower. Slight cool down in store for Monday but then temperatures moderate once again as we stay in a Pacific air mass. Can't help but wonder with all those cold temperatures that JB writes about when the dam will break and we'll see some really cold weather. But for the moment, the models are not suggesting that through the next week or so.

Another system rolls through on Thursday with a wet day but once again not much temperature change.

Hope you are able to get out and enjoy this beautiful late January day. God bless.

Looks like the cold air will be a bit delayed. Instead of the first of Feb looking more like the middle ( may be). James said yesterday the NAO was trending back to neutral, so if that happens we might not see any really cod air at all this winter. Hope that's not the case, but if I were a betting man ( I'm not) I would say that is probably what will happen. One day though central Alabama will get the snowstorm we all have waited for soooo long it just may not be in 2006.

How will this Mild Winter affect Hurricane Season? Will it make it more active? Does it affect the Ocean Temps this time of year?
