Rain Returns Tomorrow

| April 27, 2015 @ 3:42 pm

RADAR CHECK: Rain continues to fall this afternoon over much of the Florida Panhandle… the MCS (mesoscale convective system) that brought winds to 100 mph to parts of Baton Rouge and New Orleans this morning is well south of the coast, over the Gulf of Mexico waters.

On our end of the state, the sky is mostly cloudy, with temperatures generally in the 60s.

WET WEATHER AHEAD: Rain should become across North/Central Alabama tomorrow morning in the 5:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. time frame, and we will deal with periods of rain tomorrow, tomorrow night, and into Wednesday morning. A surface low will pass south of us, on the Gulf Coast, so there is no risk of severe weather for the northern two-thirds of the state, and there probably won’t be much thunder in the stable air.

TO THE SOUTH: There is a risk of severe thunderstorms on the Gulf Coast tomorrow… from near Gulfport over to Mobile, Panama City, and Apalachicola.

The rain will taper off Wednesday morning; rain amounts of around one inch are likely for North and Central Alabama. Could drizzle could linger into Wednesday afternoon as the surface low reorganizes near the North Carolina coast. Temperatures will stay below average with highs in the 60s tomorrow and Wednesday. Some communities north of Birmingham could hold in the cool 50s all day Wednesday.

Drier air returns Thursday with a partly to mostly sunny sky and a high in the 67-70 degree range.

FRIDAY AND THE WEEKEND: Doesn’t get any better. Mostly sunny days, fair nights, and a slow warming trend. We reach the low 70s Friday, upper 70s Saturday, and low 80s Sunday. Perfect for the races at Talladega (this is race weekend), spring sports, or doing anything outdoors.

Dry weather will likely continue into early next week; see the Weather Xtreme video for maps, graphics, and more details.
