MONDAY Update:  Sharply Colder Air  – Record Lows Likely –  Freeze Possible

Good Morning!  A cold front is  sweeping  through the state today.  There could be a few isolated showers ahead of the front.  Today’s high in the 70’s.  But, get ready for a huge temperature plunge this week.  Very Chilly air follows the front.  In fact, we’ll be near record lows by Wednesday & Thursday. A freeze Watch is in effect.   First freeze of the season is possible by Wednesday and Thursday mornings, weeks early.   Here’s my brief forecast discussion. 

TODAY:     A  cloudy day. Slight chance of a shower, as the cold front moves through the state.  Comfortable.  High 75.  Winds NW at 6 to 16 and gusty.  Partly cloudy, much cooler tonight.  Low 42.

NEXT FEW DAYS:    Get ready for an early season shocker of a Cold Blast.      Tuesday’s high temperature will probably be in the upper 50’s . (If we fail to reach 60 Tuesday, that will be a new record for coolest High)  In fact, we’ll be near record lows by Wednesday & Thursday morning.  A freeze Watch is in effect.   We may  be close to the freeze-mark by Wednesday and/or Thursday morning.  We’ll start to warm back into the 70’s by Friday and Saturday. 

Unusually chilly air is on the way.   Kind of an early season shocker.

Here’s a sample of the potential lows on Wednesday & Thursday morning.  First freeze of the season is likely for many towns.   .   Average first frost is November 8th.  Average first Freeze is November 18th.    This is pretty amazing air.  Ready or not, here it comes.  

RECORD LOWS IN JEOPARDY:  Wednesday’s Montgomery record low of 35 and Thursday’s record low of 34 are very much in jeopardy.

TROPICAL OUTLOOK:   I’m happy to say the Tropics are completely quiet for now.

Thanks for reading this Blog this morning!  I’ll have another update for you in the morning.  Have a nice day!
