February Made Me Shiver...

* I hope you'll join me in welcoming Chris Whited to the Weather BLOG. Chris, as I'm sure you've seen, is our new morning meteorologist and a fine addition to the team. He is a native of Oneonta, Alabama, and has a real passion for severe weather. If you'd like to drop him a note, feel free:

* Tonight will be the coldest night of the young year 2007...Temperatures in most places will fall into the upper teens to lower 20's tonight. Exactly how cold it gets will depend on the wind.

When the wind goes completely calm, that allows the coldest air to settle to the Earth's surface, with no friction (a warming process). So, if the wind goes calm, expect middle teens. Should the wind continue all night, we'll see lower 20's. Either way, expect cold.

* It's worth noting that we may see a few snow flurries across northern parts of Mississippi and Alabama tonight. We don't anticipate any type of accumulation with these flurries, and almost all of them will stay to our north.

* Tomorrow will again be chilly, with highs in the middle 40's...Brrrrr. Be sure to bundle up.

* A warm-up is ahead by Monday and Tuesday, when we are seeing signs of a changing pattern. The trough (and cold air) we've seen over the eastern U.S. will begin to finally lift out, which will allow for warmer weather. The trade-off there is that we will likely deal with some thunderstorms along the way. Weather this time of year is never dull!
