7:00 AM | *A chilly day across northern Alabama*

Paul Dorian

Chilly conditions will continue today in the Tennessee Valley with highs confined to the 40’s – below normal for the early part of December. It’ll stay on the cool side for the next couple of days as northwest flow aloft will continue to push colder-than-normal air into the northern part of Alabama.

12:15 PM (Wed) | ***Western US storm to run into an “atmospheric roadblock” and be “forced” to slide southeast towards the Mid-Atlantic/NE US coastline…result will be snow and ice on Sunday/Monday***

Paul Dorian

One strong storm is producing heavy snowfall across the Upper Midwest today and it’ll generate some very strong winds later today into Thursday in a large section of the country extending from the Great Lakes/Ohio Valley to the Mid-Atlantic/NE US.  Another powerful storm continues to wreak havoc across much of the western third of the nation with heavy coastal rain and significant inland snows.  This second system will push to the northeast over the next couple of days, but once it reaches the Dakotas, it’ll run into an “atmospheric roadblock” and be “forced” to slide southeast towards the Mid-Atlantic/NE US coastline by later this weekend into early next week.  The result of this storm track will allow for cold air to be in place in the Mid-Atlantic/NE US when the storm arrives later this weekend and this raises the chance for snow and ice.  The threat for snow and ice will continue into Monday for this part of the nation as the surface low spins around just off the coastline of the Mid-Atlantic/NE US.

7:00 AM | *Temperatures to fall today following passage of cold front*

Paul Dorian

Two powerful weather systems continue to impact the nation with heavy snow today across the central Plains and Upper Midwest from the first storm and heavy rain, strong winds and inland snows out west from the second storm. Around here, a frontal system will bring some shower activity and temperatures are likely to fall into 40’s this afternoon as colder air moves into the region. There will be a warming trend later in the week as high pressure ridging builds across the south-central US, but another frontal system will impact the region this weekend.

1:10 PM (Tuesday) | ***Significant snow from the Rockies to Upper Midwest...heavy rain, damaging winds and inland snows in CA/OR...ice/snow likely this weekend in Mid-Atlantic/NE US***

Paul Dorian

One major storm is bringing heavy snowfall to parts of the Rocky Mountains and central Plains and another is about to slam into the west coast of the US.  Heavy snow from the first storm continues across the Rockies and has stretched into the central Plains and it’ll make a push into the Upper Midwest on Wednesday.  This same system will then head eastward and drag a strong cold front across the Mid-Atlantic/NE US tomorrow evening and the winds will become quite strong with gusts past 40 mph. The second major storm will rapidly intensify before making landfall later tonight near the California/Oregon border and it will bring heavy rain and damaging winds to coastal sections and tremendous snows to inland higher elevation locations of the Sierra Nevada mountain range where the snow will be measured in feet over the next few days. This second storm will cross the nation and arrive in the Mid-Atlantic/NE US this weekend where there will be a lot of cold air and accumulating ice and snow could be the result in interior sections.

7:00 AM | *Two big storms to impact the nation this week*

Paul Dorian

Two powerful weather systems will impact the nation over the next few days which includes the big travel day tomorrow and Turkey Day on Thursday. The first system is already bringing heavy snow to the Rocky Mountain States and this storm will intensify rapidly as it heads towards the Upper Midwest on Wednesday. The result will be a wide swath of significant accumulating snow from Denver to Minneapolis - just in time for Thanksgiving Day. Another storm will become a powerhouse for the west coast and it will bring damaging (hurricane-force) winds and heavy mountain snows of more than a foot (e.g. Sierra Nevada). This storm will arrive tonight near the California/Oregon border and then will begin to gradually weaken as it moves inland.

7:00 AM | *Cooler for Thanksgiving Day*

Paul Dorian

High pressure will take control today and we’ll start off the holiday week with a dry and moderately chilly day in the Tennessee Valley. A strong cold front will cross the northern US over the next few days and it’ll arrive here by early Wednesday. Strong, cold high pressure will build into the north-central and northeast US later this week following the passage of the cold front and this will result in a windy, cool Thanksgiving Day in the northern Alabama region.

7:00 AM | *Chance of showers as we end the work week and begin the weekend*

Paul Dorian

A weak cold front will approach the region later today and temperatures will again climb well into the 60’s in the southerly flow ahead of the front. Low pressure will form early this weekend over the Tennessee Valley and give us a continuing chance of showers, maybe a thunderstorm, as we head into the upcoming weekend. Another frontal passage will clear the way for improvement on Sunday albeit on the cooler side.

7:00 AM | *Some spots could touch the 70 degree mark for highs this afternoon*

Paul Dorian

High pressure will continue to provide us with quiet and mild conditions today as temperatures climb through the 60’s by days end. A weak cold front will approach the region later Friday and temperatures will again climb well into the 60’s in the southerly flow ahead of the front. Low pressure will form early this weekend over the Tennessee Valley and give us a chance of showers, but then another frontal passage will clear the way for improvement on Sunday albeit on the cooler side.

1:50 PM (Wednesday) | *Low pressure to trek from the Tennessee Valley on Saturday to the Mid-Atlantic coastline by early Sunday*

Paul Dorian

A potent wave of energy in the upper part of the atmosphere will help to form low pressure over the Tennessee Valley on Saturday morning and then it will travel to the Mid-Atlantic coastline by early Sunday.  Rain is likely to break out later Saturday in the I-95 corridor and continue until early Sunday at which time drier air will begin to arrive and lead to improving conditions as the weekend winds down.  There will be some cold air around for the weekend system, but the best chance for snow is likely to be confined to areas far west and north of the I-95 corridor (e.g., West Virginia to western/northern PA).

7:00 AM | *Mild next few days, but it turns colder again by the weekend*

Paul Dorian

High pressure will continue to provide us with quiet and relatively mild conditions for the next couple of days. By week’s end, another cold front will cross the region and temperatures will take a step downward in the Tennessee Valley as we begin the upcoming weekend. In fact, highs on Friday afternoon should make it to the middle 60’s, but then likely be confined to the low-to-mid 50’s on Saturday.
