Alabama News Center — Owner of Alabama’s Bob Sykes Bar-B-Q a finalist for American Royal Barbecue Hall of Fame
One of Alabama’s best-known names in barbecue is among 10 finalists to be inducted into the American Royal Barbecue Hall of Fame.
SUNNY MAY DAY AHEAD: With a mostly sunny sky, we project a high in the 87-91 degree range for most communities this afternoon. Highs will stay very close to 90 degrees for the rest of the week and through the holiday weekend as our summer preview continues.
RADAR CHECK: I see two small, isolated showers on radar at mid-afternoon… one over the Tennessee River near Rogersville, and one north of Brilliant in Marion County. Otherwise, the sky is mostly sunny with temperatures in the mid to upper 80s across Alabama.

SUMMER IS ALMOST HERE: This week will look and feel like summer across Alabama and the Deep South. Highs through the week will be close to 90 degrees for most places with partly to mostly sunny days and fair nights.
