RADAR CHECK: Most of Alabama is dry at mid-afternoon; the sky is sunny over much of South Alabama, but more clouds are moving into the northwest counties of the state ahead of a disturbance rotating around a deep upper trough to the north. That feature will have potential to squeeze out some light rain, or even snow flurries or snow showers over the northern third of Alabama late this afternoon and early tonight.
MERRY CHRISTMAS: Widespread rain across Alabama will end later this morning as much colder air rolls into the state. We do note a tornado watch remains in effect for a few counties in Southwest Alabama, but that will be cancelled soon as the storms move rapidly eastward. Temperatures fall into the 30s today with an icy north wind, and in the cold air a few snow flurries or showers are possible this afternoon, mainly east of I-65, and north of I-20.
ANOTHER GRAY, COLD DAY: Alabama’s weather won’t change much today; cloudy, cold conditions continue with temperatures rising very little. Most places across North/Central Alabama are in the upper 30s this morning, we won’t get past the low 40s this afternoon.
AT DAYBREAK: Temperatures are below freezing generally from U.S. 278 (Hamilton to Cullman to Gadsden) north… with mid 30s for the I-20 corridor (Tuscaloosa to Birmingham to Anniston). Light, scattered snow flurries continue, but we have heard of no travel issues or impact so far. THE DAY AHEAD: The NWS Huntsville is continuing a “winter […]

Twitter is lighting up like a Christmas tree with reports of snow flurries across the northern half of Alabama… Forcing associated with an intense upper trough is squeezing out the light snow, despite a dry atmosphere… No accumulation is expected, and the flurries will end this evening as the trough axis moves on to the […]
In the cold air over Alabama, snow flurries continue in many places. Twitter has been lightning up like a Christmas tree with reports.

See the Jackson NWS radar… Lots of precipitation is showing up west of I-55 across the Mississippi Delta, but 00Z upper air soundings show a very dry airmass over Mississippi and Alabama, which means most of this won’t reach the ground. The strong impulse producing this precipitation aloft is moving southeast, and in Alabama the […]
