You can clearly see the spin of the cold core upper low pressure area over Missouri where rain and snow showers are happening this afternoon. pic.twitter.com/m1mFRPvGJw

BELOW FREEZING TEMPS UPCOMING… Quite a bit of sunshine in the forecast after today but also QUITE a bit of cold weather. Overnight lows will be near or below freezing on Thursday night, Friday night, and Saturday night!
BELOW FREEZING TEMPS UPCOMING INTO THE WEEKEND; FLURRIES TO OUR NORTH… High temperatures will be in the 60s today ahead of sharply colder temperatures for Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Highs tomorrow into the weekend will be in the low-50s. Some communities may even have highs in the upper-40s on Friday! Overnight lows will be below freezing each night from Thursday night through Saturday night. A cold core upper-low pressure area is pushing southeast into the Tennessee Valley region of north Alabama and Tennessee tomorrow into Friday. This feature may cause a few snow flurries in the far northern part of Alabama. Impacts will remain limited, most likely.
COLD CORE UPPER LOW TO THE NORTH… A few snow flurries may happen Thursday night into Friday as a cold core upper low pushes east across Tennessee and north Alabama. Moisture content remains quite limited, meaning any snow or flurries that happen probably won’t accumulate, at least in Alabama. This feature will not cause any rain or snow in south Alabama or northwest Florida.
BELOW FREEZING TEMPERATURES THURSDAY, FRIDAY, SATURDAY NIGHTS… Low temperatures tonight will be in the low-40s closer to the coast and upper-30s farther inland. Today is the day, however, that outdoor plants should be moved inside as temperatures tomorrow will be quite cold with highs only in the 50s. This “cold snap” will last into the weekend. No rain or precipitation is expected Thursday, Friday, or Saturday.
NEW YEAR’S EVE LIKELY TO BE COLD… Dry conditions will prevail on Sunday night into Monday, most likely, with temperatures likely to be near 40 degrees as we kick off 2024 at midnight on Sunday night. No rain, no snow, no mixed precipitation is expected during the New Year’s celebrations across our local area. We are expecting rain during the daytime hours of Monday, however.
NEXT RAIN CHANCE: NEW YEAR’S DAY… Our next chance of rain happens on the first day of 2024 on Monday. Scattered showers will move in likely in the morning hours with rain being possible throughout the midday and afternoon hours. High temperatures for New Year’s Day will likely be in the upper-50s and near 60 degrees in most spots.
