Cold air on the way

A cold air mass is moving across the northern Plains early this morning, with temperatures in the 30s way down into Iowa and Nebraska. It’s that time of year! The cold air will be slow to move south, but the models agree that a cold front will move through Alabama on Friday. And, we could have our coldest air of the season so far this weekend.

After temperatures reach the lower 70s on Friday, north winds will kick in late in the day, with temperatures possibly in the 50s for High School football Friday night. Winds will make it feel even cooler. By Saturday, with north winds all day, highs will only be in the 60s, and we could very well drop into the lower 40s by Sunday morning, with 30s in the colder valleys.

JB Elliott and I are still maintaining our guess that this could be a cold, snowy winter. JB thinks we may see a 6″ snow in BHM, and I think this could be the year we make it to zero for the first time in a long time. We’ll see.
