A Quick Look At Central Alabama’s Weather Situation At 1:00AM

| March 28, 2017 @ 1:07 am

The line of storms is continuing to make its way to the southeast across the northern parts of Central Alabama. There are no current warnings across the state at the moment, and I expect it will stay that way for the remainder of the night. The strongest part of the line is making its way across Walker County, with plenty of dangerous lightning and very heavy rainfall. I would not be surprised if some small hail was falling from that storm as well.

After a day that featured a very unstable airmass over the area this afternoon and into this evening, an upper low will move to the east during the overnight hours and will push a trough axis into North Alabama. Convection development will continue throughout the night despite the daytime heating, thanks to forcing out ahead of that axis.

Rain chances will be the best north of the I-20 and I-20/59 corridors during the overnight hours, with no or hardly any rain south of the I-85 corridor. Good news is that the trough axis will become more alligned in an east-west fashion, and along with lesser shear and mid-level lapse rates on Tuesday, showers and storms that do develop will not be severe in nature. Lows tonight will be in the lower to mid 60s, with Tuesday’s highs in the upper 70s to the lower 80s.
