Good Morning! Yesterday’s high of 67 was nicer.  Today will be a little cooler behind a weak cold front. High in the 50’s.  We start to warm back up on Sunday with the warming trend continuing well through the work week. Are you ready for a touch of Spring Fever next week? Several days will be 70 or above. Risk of showers returns Tuesday night and Wednesday, with a lingering chance Thursday. Could we be dealing with a “bigger deal” storm system sometime around Valentine’s Day, next Saturday 2/14?  Many global models are starting to agree.  Perhaps a severe weather producer?  Too early to say.

TODAY:  Cool Sunshine.  High 56.  North wind 6 to 12 mph.

TONIGHT:    Clear and cold.  Low 28.   

Sunday will be a few degrees warmer.

NEXT FEW DAYS:  We start to warm back up on Sunday.  Highs will reach the lower 60’s.  Get ready for a major warming trend next week.  Highs each day will be 70 or above. Risk of showers returns Tuesday night and Wednesday, with a lingering chance Thursday.

Could we be dealing with a “bigger deal” storm system sometime around Valentine’s Day, next Saturday 2/14?  Many global models are starting to agree. Stay tuned. Severe Weather? We don’t know yet.

The 10 Day model Blend Temperature Trend.  70+ will seem very nice next week.

Widespread warmth is on the way.  February thaw.  Spring fever. 

DROUGHT MONITOR:   The latest Drought Montor Map is ugly and very disturbing.  Most of the southeastern third of Alabama is now in a Severe Drought.  Not good.

.

DAYS TILL SPRING:  43 days!

Thanks for reading this Blog this morning. The next scheduled complete Blog update and Video Forecast Discussion is scheduled for the 4 o’clock hour on Monday morning.  Have a great weekend.
