RAINY SUNDAY
Sunday morning begins with widespread rain and eventually spreads southeastward into Sunday afternoon. Rainfall amounts of about an inch are possible in northwest Alabama, but lighter amounts (up to 1/2 inch) are likely farther south. This includes the Birmingham Underground. No severe weather is expected. Things will gradually dry out throughout the afternoon and evening.
SEVEN-DAY FORECAST
The best way to describe the current weather pattern is a “zonal flow”. In a zonal flow, the jet stream runs west to east across the country, and small waves develop that bring rain at least once every 2 or 3 days.
That’s exactly what we’ll have next week: mild temperatures for the season in January (50s/60s) and a chance of showers on Tuesday (although they tend to be drier), Thursday and Friday before a quick blast of colder air next weekend. The strongest system arrives on Thursday and there will be a risk of severe storms if enough unstable air is in place.
This kind of pattern doesn’t usually involve a lot of arctic air, so the idea of another big blast in mid-January has narrowed down to being frigid instead of freezing cold.
Sometimes it’s just cold enough for one of those waves to produce light winter precipitation, so that’s something we’ll be watching from next weekend. No guarantees on that: it’s a remote chance at this point.
