Midday Nowcast: Terrific Tuesday

| November 22, 2016 @ 12:16 pm

After the cold start, it is another day with an abundance of sunshine. There are a few clouds in the sky, but nothing more than those upper-level cirrus clouds that are trying to filter some of the sun, but overall it is sunshine and blue sky across Alabama this afternoon.

The sunny conditions, along with the very dry conditions, will allow for the air over Alabama to warm rapidly. After the 20s and 30s this morning, we should see many locations in the upper 60s, and a few lower 70s are possible as well.

The rest of today, we feature the continued mainly clear conditions; these will allow for temperatures to fall back down into the upper 30s and lower 40s overnight, so cold, but definitely not as cold as the past few nights.

For tomorrow, the winds of change begin to blow and clouds will be on the increase. A storm system, which will be responsible for the threat of severe weather today over Eastern Texas and the ARKLATEX, will lift well to the north of Alabama.

This system will produce our next chance of rain tomorrow. Still not an overly impressive rain producer for Alabama, and like the last few systems, showers will be moving in from the west, but will be diminishing as they move into the drier air that is over the state. Severe weather is not an issue for Alabama, but there may certainly be a few rumbles of thunder over West Alabama. For the rest of us, we will continue to mention a chance of mostly light rain across North and Central Alabama tomorrow afternoon into the evening hours. Latest model output is now suggesting rain amounts of about 0.10″ for most places, with a few spots seeing 0.20″.

Definitely not a drought buster, but should be enough to settle the dust in the locations that are fortunate enough to see the wet stuff. While the light rain tomorrow won’t make a dent in the drought, anything we get is certainly welcome. The sky will be generally cloudy tomorrow with a high again in the upper 60s.

THANKSGIVING: For Turkey Day, the system will be pushing away from Alabama so the day will be dry, but there could be a few lingering clouds to start the day, but overall a dry and mild day. Highs in the upper 60s and lower 70s are expected.

WEATHER ON THIS DATE IN 1641: An observer at Boston, MA, recorded a great tempest of wind and rain from the southeast all night, as fierce as a hurricane, and thereupon followed the highest tide which we have seen since our arrival here
