April 13 FREEZE WATCH / April SnowBy the way it was around 80 degrees yesterday!
***FREEZE WATCH FOR SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY MORNING AND AGAIN FOR MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY MORNING***
Record setting cold and the chance for a late freeze headline our weather forecast on this mid-April Sunday morning. Agricultural interests will want to prepare to protect tender vegetation tonight and tomorrow. UNSEASONABLE COLD: An extremely deep upper level trough is transporting cold air from the Arctic regions south all the way to the Gulf Coast. This airmass is going to set quite a few records for this time of year. We will be flirting with record lows across Alabama tonight and Monday night. Today will be not be a good day for a picnic. A disturbance in the upper flow will bring increasing clouds with a chance of a little light rain, or even a few snow flurries this afternoon through Monday morning. Don�t plan any picnics for Monday either. Highs today and Monday will struggle to make it very far into the 50s. In fact, some locations may not get out of the 40s. FREEZE WATCH: Tonight, temperatures will fall well into the 30s. Some of the normally colder locations could drop into the upper 20s, but a persistent northwest wind and some cloudiness will keep a serious freeze from occurring. Still, it is close enough of a call that our grower friends need to go ahead and be prepared to take precautions overnight. Monday night will colder for sure. High pressure will be settling in Monday night and our winds should go calm. With clear skies, we will have perfect conditions for radiational cooling to occur. We are not a one number area, and lows could drop as low as 26 in the normally colder locations and range as high as 33 in other spots. TrackbacksWeblogs that reference this entry
