SUMMER PREVIEW: We project afternoon highs in the 82-86 degree range for Alabama today through Sunday with partly sunny days and fair nights. Showers will be very hard to find; the chance of any one spot getting wet each day is less than 10 percent.
WARM APRIL DAY: Temperatures are generally in the 78-85 degree range across Alabama this afternoon with a mix of sun and clouds. A few showers are over the far northwest part of the state from near Vernon to Florence, but the rest of the state is dry.
CALM SPRING WEATHER: We project a high in the 80-84 degree range across Alabama today with a party sunny sky. An isolated shower can’t be ruled out this afternoon, but the chance of any one spot seeing rain is only 5-10 percent, and not really worth mentioning in the forecast.
PLEASANT SPRING AFTERNOON: We have a mix of sun and clouds across Alabama this afternoon; we note one small lone shower over Sumter County at mid-afternoon, otherwise nothing on radar despite a surface front over the central counties. Tonight will be mostly fair with a low in the 50s.
ON THE MAP: We have a surface front over Tennessee early this morning; we note a few showers south and east of Nashville. Alabama is dry with a clear sky along with temperatures in the 50s. The front will drift down into our state later today, but with hardly any available moisture, we just don’t expect anything but small, isolated showers
ALL IS CALM: Another sunny day for Alabama; temperatures are in the 70s this afternoon. Tonight will be clear with a low in the 45-55 degree range.
WARMING TREND AHEAD: We have another very cool morning across Alabama with temperatures mostly in the 40s… a few colder spots have reached the upper 30s. Look for a high in the 70s this afternoon with sunshine in full supply.
SEVERE CLEAR: Not a cloud in the Alabama sky this afternoon; temperatures are in the 65-70 degree range for most places. Tonight will clear and cool with a low in the 40s.
THURSDAY THROUGH THE WEEKEND: We will mention the chance of a few widely scattered showers Thursday, otherwise the weather will likely stay dry through the weekend with a warming trend continuing. The high Thursday will be between 77 and 81, followed by low to mid 80s statewide Friday through Sunday.
We’ll have to deal with showers at times through the weekend, but the work week ahead will be bright and dry.
RADAR CHECK: A few isolated showers have formed over North Alabama this afternoon with a mostly cloudy sky, but much of the state is dry. Temperatures are in the 80s over South Alabama, where the sky is partly sunny.
RADAR CHECK: A band of thunderstorms is moving through the northwest corner of Alabama early this morning; one storm was producing small hail over Colbert County just before sunrise. The rest of the state is mostly cloudy with temperatures generally in the 60s.
RADAR CHECK: While much of Alabama is rain-free, we note a few scattered thunderstorms over the northern counties at mid-afternoon. Showers and a few storms will remain possible through the evening, but they will be random and scattered, much like a summer day.
WARM APRIL DAY: Temperatures return to the 80s across all of Alabama this afternoon with a mix of sun and clouds. We will mention the chance of a few spotty showers or thunderstorms this afternoon or tonight, but nothing too widespread.
