Good Morning! We’re enjoying a quiet pattern after the tornado drama earlier in the week. Sunshine will dominate today and Saturday. Temperatures will be near normal today, and a little warmer Saturday. Scattered showers hold off until late Saturday night and Sunday. No Severe weather is expected. No “big ticket” weather for at least the next 5-6 days. And, still, looking out 10 days, the Arctic Flood Gates remain closed for now. Here’s my brief forecast discussion.
TODAY: Cool sunshine, but near normal Nice day for early January. High 59. Northwest Wind 5 to 10 mph. Clear, Chilly tonight, but near normal. Low 36. Normal 59/37.
(Yesterday High 64, low 43. FULL MOON is today. It’s the Full Wolf Moon)
MORE TORNADO SURVEYS: NWS Birmingham conducted more tornado surveys yesterday. So far, 11 tornadoes have been surveyed, including at least 4 EF-1s and one EF-2 (Lake Jordan Tornado). That was the big tornado of the day, with a 9 mile track and 800 yards wide. The east Montgomery tornado (Halcyon Tornado) was an EF-1, nearly 2 miles long, 130 yards wide. Here’s a link where you cab read DETAILED info on each tornado.
