RADAR CHECK: At mid-afternoon showers and a few thunderstorms continue across the northwest corner of Alabama… the rest of the state is mostly cloudy and warm with temperatures in the 77-81 degree range.
ACTIVE WEATHER AHEAD: A dynamic weather system will bring showers and thunderstorms into Alabama later today and tonight. SPC maintains an “enhanced risk” (level 3/5) of severe thunderstorms for about the northern third of the state (from Birmingham north), with a “slight risk” (level 2/5) down to the Gulf Coast.
CLOUDY, DRY AFTERNOON: Temperatures are in the 77-81 degree range across most of Alabama this afternoon with a mostly cloudy sky. Nothing on radar, and our weather should remain dry tonight. Then, a dynamic weather system will bring active weather to the Deep South tomorrow afternoon and tomorrow night.
WARM START TO APRIL: Today will be another warm, dry day for Alabama with a high in the low 80s in most places with a mix of sun and clouds. The weather becomes active late tomorrow and tomorrow night as an organized band of showers and thunderstorms moves into the Deep South.
SUNNY LATE MARCH AFTERNOON: The sky is sunny across Alabama this afternoon with temperatures in the 70s. Tonight will be clear with a low in the 45-55 degree range.
CHILLY START: Colder pockets are in the 30s across North Alabama early this morning with some patchy frost. We expect a nice warm-up today, however, with a high in the 70s this afternoon along with sunshine in full supply.
DRY WEATHER CONTINUES: Alabama’s weather will stay dry through the Easter weekend with mostly sunny days and fair nights. Colder spots will drop into the 30s tonight with some potential for scattered frost.
DRY DAYS: Alabama’s weather will stay dry through the Easter weekend with mostly sunny days and fair nights. Highs today will be in the 60s for much of the state, but we rise into the 70s tomorrow and Saturday. On Sunday, most places will see a high at or just over 80 degrees.
PLEASANT SPRING DAY: With a partly to mostly sunny sky, temperatures are in the 60s across North Alabama, with 70s over the southern half of the state. Tonight will be fair and cool with a low in the 40s.
CALM DAYS: The sky is mostly clear across Alabama early this morning with temperatures in the 40s and 50s, but clouds are hanging tough over the southeast corner of the state. Rain will remain east of our state today; expect a partly sunny sky with a high in the 60s for most communities this afternoon.
RADAR CHECK: We have a few lingering showers over parts of North and East Alabama; those will be out of the state soon. The sky is clearing over the western counties, and the clearing will work its way eastward tonight as dry air arrives.
RADAR CHECK: We have a large mass of rain over northern and western part of Alabama this morning gradually moving eastward. There are a few embedded thunderstorms, but as we expected there were no severe storms overnight. Gradient winds (non-thunderstorm) remain high east of the rain, but those winds will diminish later this morning.
TONIGHT: A band of showers and thunderstorms will push into Alabama late tonight, mostly after midnight. Thankfully there will be little to no surface based instability available over the northern 2/3 of the state, so the line of storms will be weakening, and the threat of severe storms remains low in our state.
DYNAMIC WEATHER SYSTEM AHEAD: Alabama’s weather will stay dry today; the sky will be generally cloudy with a high in the 67-73 degree range this afternoon. Gradient winds ahead of a storm system will ramp up today, averaging 15-25 mph with potential for higher gusts.
