    You can't do that to us without a story. FWD works for getting home not ideal but you'll at least get home.

    It snowed a good bit here, but mostly stuck to the trees and melted very quickly around noon.

    From AlabamaWX

    COLD MONDAY: In the wake of the system that brought lots of rain and snow to Alabama over the weekend, a cold airmass lingers this morning. Temperatures are mostly in the 30s, and a few spots over North Alabama are below freezing. We expect clouds this morning to give way to a partly sunny sky this afternoon… the high will be in the mid 40s. The average high for Birmingham on January 17 is 54.

    Tomorrow will be a sunny day; after a morning low in the 20s, temperatures reach the mid 50s by afternoon.

    REST OF THE WEEK: Clouds will increase Wednesday ahead of a cold front. Rain will push into the northwest part of the state by mid to late afternoon, and rain is likely statewide Wednesday night. There could be a rumble of thunder in spots; SPC has defined a “marginal risk” (level 1/5) of severe thunderstorms west of the state for parts of Southeast Texas, Louisiana, and Mississippi, but severe storms are not expected in Alabama.

    Rain ends early Thursday, and another shot of cold air rolls into the state. Parts of North Alabama could hold in the 30s all day, and while a few snow flurries are possible over some northern counties early Thursday no impact is expected. Friday will be cold and dry with a mix of sun and clouds… the high will be in the 40s.

    THE ALABAMA WEEKEND: Global models from time to time have given signals of a potential surface low in the northern Gulf of Mexico Saturday, with a chance of rain or snow for Alabama. There is a great amount of inconsistency in model output, but the idea is plausible in this pattern, and there is some support from the ensembles. For now I will just keep it very broad, and forecast a mostly cloudy day Saturday with a chance of some rain or snow; there won’t be much clarity for a few more days. If you have something planned outdoors Saturday it could very well turn out to be a dry day… just too early to call.

    If a Gulf low forms, it will be gone by Sunday, and the day should be dry. Highs over the weekend should be mostly in the 40s.

    NEXT WEEK: For now a decent part of the week looks dry with below average temperatures… highs most days will be in the 40s and low 40s with lows in the 20s and low 30s. See the Weather Xtreme video for maps, graphics, and more details.

    ON THIS DATE IN 1994: On January 17, 1994, at 4:31 a.m. PST, a magnitude 6?.7 earthquake centered in Northridge struck the southern California area. Known as the Northridge Earthquake, it caused at least 57 fatalities (a subsequent study put the death toll at 72, including heart attacks) and injured thousands.

    ON THIS DATE IN 1999: A total of 22 tornado tornadoes touched down across parts of Arkansas, Mississippi, and Tennessee. The most violent was an F4 tornado that tracked across southern Jackson, Tennessee, damaging more than 200 homes and 55 buses. The storm killed six people and injured 106

    From AlabamaWX

    COLD START: Temperatures are mostly in the 22-28 degree range across Alabama early this morning… but we expect a nice warm-up today with a good supply of sunshine. Most communities will reach the mid 50s this afternoon, right at seasonal averages for mid-January. Tonight will be mostly fair and not as cold as last night with a low between 35 and 42.

    The sky becomes cloudy tomorrow, and rain will enter Northwest Alabama late in the day ahead of a cold front. Rain should be widespread tomorrow night over the northern half of the state. Some thunder is possible, but severe storms are not expected here (SPC does maintain a “marginal risk” to the west over parts of Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, and Texas).

    The forecast gets complex Thursday and Friday; let’s take it chronological order.

    THURSDAY: Much colder air will roll into North Alabama early Thursday, with temperatures going below freezing. There is a chance there could be some overlap between the sub-freezing air and the back edge of the precipitation associated with the cold front. Meaning, there could be a window for a little freezing rain, freezing drizzle, or sleet over parts of North Alabama Thursday morning. This in turn could bring some potential for bridge icing north of Birmingham. Generally speaking this is a marginal threat, and there is a chance the precipitation will end by the time temperatures go below freezing. Just be aware of the potential if you are in North Alabama Thursday morning.

    Rain will continue over South Alabama during the day Thursday as the front pushes southward. Temperatures will hold in the 30s all day Thursday over the northern half of the state, and a few spots over the Tennessee Valley will struggle to get above freezing.

    FRIDAY: A wave of low pressure is expected to form on the front in the northern Gulf of Mexico, and more precipitation will spread northward across Alabama. There is a chance this could begin in the form of freezing rain for parts of North Alabama Friday morning, where temperatures will be below freezing.

    Then, later in the day, precipitation is possible in the form of light snow over the northeast counties of the state Friday afternoon and Friday night, in the colder air. Model output remains inconsistent, and forecast confidence remains low. Using the ensemble approach, the European global model shows the chance of 1 inch of snow or greater across Northeast Alabama Friday/Friday night in the 30-50 percent range, while the American global model is at 20 percent or less.

    [​IMG]

    Bottom line is that it is still too early for a specific forecast, but just be aware some winter weather impact is possible Friday and Friday night over parts of North or Northeast Alabama. We will have much better clarity over the next 24 hours.

    THE ALABAMA WEEKEND: Saturday will be cold and dry with a clearing sky; the high will be in the mid 40s. Sunday will be a mostly sunny day with a high between 48 and 52.

    NEXT WEEK: Temperatures will likely remain below average through the week; new model data suggests some rain will be possible Tuesday… especially over the southern half of the state. See the Weather Xtreme video for maps, graphics, and more details.

    [​IMG]

    ON THIS DATE IN 1971: A warm Santa Ana condition brought a 95 degree reading to Los Angeles, the highest January temperature on record. It was 95 degrees in Palm Springs, the highest temperature on record for January as well.

    ON THIS DATE IN 1973: The first tornado death of the year has been registered north of Corey, Louisiana, during the afternoon hours. Although a girl was killed when a tenant farm was destroyed, a baby received only minor injuries when it was carried 300 to 400 yards by the tornado.

    Bolt on just as good as weld on the only difference is you can remove bolt ons. Some ppl say bolt ons are not as strong but honestly i think ppl just like to talk. They are plenty strong.
