RADAR CHECK: A large mass of rain covers the northern half of Alabama early this morning, expect occasional rain and a few thunderstorms through tonight. The most widespread rain will continue over the northern and central counties of the state, but showers are possible across South Alabama as well.
RADAR CHECK: Rain and thunderstorms continue over roughly the western half of Alabama this afternoon; the sky has been brighter over the eastern half of the state where there was some decent viewing opportunities for today’s solar eclipse.
RADAR CHECK: A few showers and thunderstorms are over the Tennessee Valley of far North Alabama early this morning, otherwise the sky is mostly cloudy with temperatures in the 50s and 60s. Expect more clouds than sun today with a chance of showers, mainly for the northern and western part of Alabama.
Central Alabama will experience a pleasant Saturday with clear skies and warming temperatures, followed by a significant warm-up on Sunday with increasing humidity and a chance of showers overnight. However, the arrival of a stalled front on Monday may bring cloudy skies, showers, and potentially impact viewing of the solar eclipse.
DRY THROUGH SUNDAY: Sunny weather continues across Alabama today with a high in the 60s for most communities this afternoon. Tonight will be clear and cold, and with no wind we expect frost to form over the northern half of the state early tomorrow morning with lows mostly in the 34-40 degree range.
DRY APRIL AFTERNOON: It is a breezy, cool April afternoon across Alabama. The sky is sunny, with the exception of some clouds over the northeast corner of the state, and temperatures are mostly in the 60s.
RED FLAG WARNING: Alabama’s weather will be windy and cool today with a partly sunny sky. A “red flag warning” is in effect for most of the state due to low humidity levels and a west wind averaging 15 to 20 mph with gusts up to 30 mph. Outdoor burning is not recommended.
RADAR CHECK: We have a few spotty showers over the northern third of Alabama, even some reports of small hail near the Tennessee border due to very cold air aloft. The sky is mostly sunny over the southern 2/3 of the state with temperatures generally in the 60s.
COOL CHANGE: Heavier thunderstorms have moved out of the southeast corner of Alabama early this morning… most of the state will be dry today but much cooler with highs in the 60s.
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.
