Good Morning!    Our nice warm pattern continues for now.  Yesterday’s high was 79.  High today and tomorrow will be in the upper 70’s to near 80.  The normal hi/lo is 73/45. The chilly nights continue to moderate. An approaching frontal system will bring showers and storms to the state Friday and especially Friday evening and night.  Some storms could reach Severe Limits.  Marginal Risk for both Friday and Saturday from SPC. Highs in the upper 70’s Saturday.  Maybe upper 60’s Sunday.   But stand by. Get ready for a early season arctic shocker. MUCH Colder air is on the horizon.   As urge of Arctic Air will arrive Sunday night.  There will be a significant temperature crash. Monday’s high may fall short of 50!  Looks like the coldest morning will probably be Tuesday with the first widespread freeze and lows in the middle 20’s. Here’s my brief video forecast discussion.

TODAY: Sunshine, with a high near 77. Light wind.  Tonight:  Clear and chilly.   Low 46

NEXT FEW DAYS:    An approaching frontal system will bring showers and storms to the state Friday and especially Friday evening and night.  Some storms could reach Severe Limits.  Marginal Risk for both Friday and Saturday from SPC. Highs in the upper 70’s Saturday.  Maybe upper 60’s Sunday.   But stand by. Get ready for a early season arctic shocker. MUCH Colder air is on the horizon.   As urge of Arctic Air will arrive Sunday night.  There will be a significant temperature crash. Monday’s high may fall short of 50!  Looks like the coldest morning will probably be Tuesday with the first widespread freeze and lows in the middle 20’s.

A series of Frontal Systems are approaching.  The first one brings the rain.  We will start a major cool down Sunday.  Sunday night will be cold.  

The first front will bring showers and storms perhaps as early as Friday afternoon.  Maybe early.

SPC has Alabama in a Marginal Severe Risk Friday and Saturday.  Damaging winds will be the main risk.

  Here’s the expected rainfall.

Here’s the 10 Day model blend temperature trend. The extreme early season cold will dominate the early part of next week.  Temperatures will start to recover late week.

The COLDEST day will be Monday. The COLDEST morning could be Tuesday morning. “Stupid Cold”  for this early in the season.
