RADAR CHECK: A few isolated showers have formed over North Alabama this afternoon with a mostly cloudy sky, but much of the state is dry. Temperatures are in the 80s over South Alabama, where the sky is partly sunny.
RADAR CHECK: A band of thunderstorms is moving through the northwest corner of Alabama early this morning; one storm was producing small hail over Colbert County just before sunrise. The rest of the state is mostly cloudy with temperatures generally in the 60s.
RADAR CHECK: Showers continue to move over the northern half of Alabama this afternoon along with a few thunderstorms. The sky is mostly cloudy, with the exception of the southeast counties of the state where the sun is out.
RADAR CHECK: We note a few small showers across Central Alabama early this morning, otherwise the sky is mostly cloudy with temperatures between 65 and 70 degrees. Today’s high will be near 80 with more clouds than sun, and a few showers will remain possible as a weak front approaches.
It remains a mostly cloudy day with some lingering showers over the northern half of the state. It is cooler and breezy with temperatures struggling to climb out of the 60s.
RADAR CHECK: Scattered showers are over the northern 2/3 of Alabama early this morning ahead of an upper trough. Today will be mostly cloudy, breezy, and cool with showers possible.
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.
The rain today will come in waves, with some breaks in the rain for a couple of hours, then a couple of hours of rain. We are seeing a few peeks of sunshine today as well, but overall clouds will win the day.
RADAR CHECK: We have some lingering light rain over the northern half of Alabama early this morning; it should be out of the state soon. Clouds linger through the morning, but a few intervals of sun are possible this afternoon. A few isolated showers could show up this afternoon, but odds of any one spot getting wet are 15/20 percent.
RADAR CHECK: We have a few widely scattered showers and thunderstorms over North Alabama at mid-afternoon, but much of the state is dry with a mix of sun and clouds with temperatures in the 70s. We will maintain the chance of a few isolated showers tonight; the low will be in the 59-64 degree range for most communities.
WET AT TIMES: March is the wettest month of the year in Alabama, the average for Birmingham is 5.66″. So, it isn’t that odd that we are forecasting multiple chances of rain across the Deep South through Saturday.
RADAR CHECK: We have a few “illegal” showers over North Alabama this afternoon (showers that weren’t forecast)… these have formed under a cold pool aloft despite very dry air near the surface. These isolated showers will end this evening, and tonight will be mostly fair with a low in the 40s.
MILD AFTERNOON: Temperatures are in the 68-72 degree range across much of Alabama this afternoon; clouds continue to increase ahead of a cold front. Showers are likely tonight along with the potential for a thunderstorm or two.
SOME RAIN AHEAD: Temperatures will rise into the low 70s across much of Alabama again today, about ten degrees above average for this time of the year. Clouds will increase, and scattered showers are possible this afternoon. Showers are more likely tonight as a cold front passes through the state… some thunder is possible, but we are not expecting any severe storms.
