Rain/Snow Mix For Some Tonight
The severe storm threat is over for our area. Now we transition into a cold and windy weather setup. Temps will be falling from west to east as much colder air spills into the area behind an area of low pressure. Strong northwest winds 15-25 mph will make it feel quite blustery overnight. The area of low moves over the state tonight into early Monday. Wrap around moisture will lead to additional showers and a wintry mix for some. A rain/snow shower mix is possible across our western and northern counties. That’s going to be roughly from Marengo to Tallapoosa county. No accumulation is expected but there will be accumulation of snow the farther northward you go towards Birmingham and the Tennessee Valley. No travel issues around here but slick spots are likely to develop over parts of north Alabama overnight.
We’re trending dry but colder heading into the first week of the new year. Upper 20s to lower 30s are likely for the next few mornings. Afternoon highs in the 50s to lower 60s. High pressure will move back over the region. This will provide a clear sky through at least midweek. Another frontal system makes a run at us Thursday. We expect some showers to move through the area. A second round of colder air will surge into the area behind the front. Looks like we’re done with any record warmth for now. Old man winter is re-establishing his claim to our weather going forward!
