A PUSH OF DRIER AND COLDER AIR HAS KEPT SURFACE WINDS IN THE 5-15
MPH RANGE DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. TEMPERATURES WILL BE MUCH
COLDER TODAY WITH HIGHS AVERAGING ABOUT 5 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL
FOR EARLY FEBRUARY. SOME LINGERING HIGH CLOUDS ACROSS SOUTHEAST

AND A 1032MB SURFACE BUILDING INTO THE AREA FROM THE WEST WILL

WITH MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES.

A VERY ACTIVE AND PROGRESSIVE UPPER FLOW PATTERN FOR THE NEXT
SEVEN DAYS. ANOTHER SHORT WAVE TROF WILL ROTATE THROUGH THE
CENTRAL GULF COAST STATES OVER THE WEEKEND. THE AIR MASS WILL BE
TOO DRY FOR ANY PRECIPITATION...BUT THERE WILL BE SOME MID TO HIGH
LEVEL CLOUDS. A MORE SUBSTANTIAL SHORT WAVE TROF WILL DIG

DROPS INTO THE OHIO VALLEY REGION. THIS WILL LIKELY BE SOME OF THE

BRUNT OF THE COLD AIR MASS WILL LIKELY AFFECT CENTRAL ALABAMA
TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY. A BAND OF LIGHT RAIN WILL PRECEDE THE
ARRIVAL OF THE FIRST ARCTIC FRONT LATE SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY

GRADUALLY GET COLDER AS SEVERAL WAVES OF COLDER AIR ROTATE AROUND

FRINGES OF ANY ASSOCIATED BANDS OF PRECIPITATION...AND KEPT LOW
POPS THROUGH WEDNESDAY. AFTER MIDNIGHT MONDAY NIGHT...LOW LEVEL
THICKNESS PROFILES SUPPORT FROZEN PRECIPITATION...AND LIGHT SNOW
SNOW FORECAST FOR AREAS NORTH OF I-20. A GRADUAL WARM-UP AFTER
WEDNESDAY AS THE COLD CORE UPPER LOW SHIFTS OFF THE ATLANTIC COAST
