Snippet from James Spann but what he said towards the end was definitely uncaused for lol
NEXT WEEK: Another wave has potential to bring some light rain to the state Monday night and Tuesday, mainly over the southern counties. Wednesday looks dry… highs will be in the upper 40s and low 50s during the first half of the week.
An Arctic front will bring potential for a little light rain to North Alabama Thursday afternoon, and as cold air rushes into the state, a few snow flurries are possible Thursday night. But, for now, this doesn’t look a setup for any accumulating snow. The big story is the coldest air so far this season that will rush into the state Friday.
ARCTIC BLAST: Here are few notes on the Christmas cold wave…
*Temperatures will likely remain below freezing across North Alabama all day Friday and Saturday (December 23-24). Temperatures should rise into the mid to upper 30s by Christmas (Sunday December 24).
*Early morning lows will be mostly in the teens Friday and Saturday morning (December 23-24), but colder spots over North Alabama could dip into the single digits.
*The wind chill index Friday (December 23) will be below zero at times over North Alabama thanks to a brisk north wind.
*The American global model (the GFS) occasionally has hinted at a chance of snow on Christmas Day across parts of Alabama, but they idea has little support for now from the reliable European model (the ECMWF), or ensembles. For now we are forecasting a a cold, dry Christmas, but understand that could change since December 25 is 9 days away. You will see the deterministic GFS snow maps plastered all over social media from those needing shares and followers, but don’t be suckered into it.
