WARM MARCH DAY: Temperatures are in the 78-83 degree range across Alabama this afternoon with a mix of sun and clouds. It is the warmest day so far this year; this is the first 80 degree day in Birmingham since November 8. Clouds will increase tonight, and a few spotty showers are possible.
WARMEST SO FAR: We are projecting a high in the 78-83 degree range across Alabama today, for many places it will be warmest day so far this year. The last time Birmingham had high of 80 or higher was on November 8, when the high was 81. Look for a mix of sun and clouds, and most places will be dry.
MILD MARCH DAY: Temperatures are mostly in the low to mid 70s across Alabama this afternoon with a mix of sun and clouds. Tonight will be mostly fair with a low in the 50-55 degree range.
WARMING TREND CONTINUES: Dry, mild weather continues across Alabama today with a high in the 70s. It looks like tomorrow will be the warmest day so far this year as temperatures reach the 78-83 degree range by afternoon.
MARVELOUS MARCH AFTERNOON: After a chilly start, temperatures are close to 70 degrees across most of Alabama this afternoon with a good supply of sunshine. Tonight will be generally clear with a low in the 40s.
ANOTHER COLD START: A few spots are below freezing across North Alabama again early this morning, but we warm nicely today with temperatures reaching the low 70s this afternoon with a sunny sky.
COOL MARCH DAY: Temperatures are generally in the 58-63 degree range across Alabama this afternoon… we note the average high for Birmingham on March 11 is 66. A few clouds are over the southern half of the state, but the low levels remain very dry.
Today will be mostly sunny with a high generally in the 60s. Tonight will be clear and cold, and once again some of the colder spots could drop to the freezing mark early tomorrow morning.
RADAR CHECK: Rain is widespread across Alabama this afternoon with the exception of the southeast part of the state. A flash flood watch will remain in effect tonight for the central and southern counties.
WET: We have some patchy light rain across Alabama early this morning, but rain becomes widespread later today and tonight ahead of an approaching storm system. The main concern with this event is heavy rain and some potential flooding; a flash flood watch is in effect for much of the state. Parts of Central Alabama could receive over 4 inches of rain over the next 24 hours.
