WARM AFTERNOON: Temperatures are generally in the low to mid 80s across Alabama this afternoon with a mix of sun and clouds. We note a few showers and storms along the Gulf Coast, but the rest of the state is dry. We note the average high for Birmingham on September 20 is 85. Tonight will be mostly fair with a low in the 60s.
DRY WEATHER CONTINUES: Alabama’s weather won’t change much through the weekend… we expect mostly sunny warm days and fair pleasant nights through the weekend with highs in the 80s and lows generally in the 60s. We will, however, mention the risk of a few isolated showers over Southeast Alabama tomorrow, and over Northwest Alabama Sunday ahead of a surface front.
SUNNY AFTERNOON: Temperatures are in the 80s across Alabama this afternoon with a good supply of sunshine. Nothing on radar, and tonight will be mostly clear with a pleasant low in the 55-65 degree range for most places.
Today will be another sunny day with low humidity along with a high in the 80s.
SUNNY SEPTEMBER DAY: With a sunny sky, temperatures across Alabama range from the upper 70s over the northern counties to the upper 80s over the southern third of the state. Tonight will be clear and cool with a low in the 50s and 60s.
A dry, continental airmass covers Alabama today, and the sky will be sunny with a high in the 80-85 degree range. The humidity will stay low, and tonight will be cool again with many places over the northern half of the state dropping back into the 50s.
RADAR CHECK: Showers continue to develop over Alabama this afternoon… showers are more numerous east of I-65. The sky is generally cloudy with temperatures in the 77-84 degree range.
OCCASIONAL SHOWERS: The sky will be mostly cloudy across Alabama through tomorrow with occasional showers thanks to a surface trough nearby. The higher coverage of rain will be over the eastern half of the state, and there could be a rumble of thunder in spots. The rain won’t be continuous, and it won’t rain everywhere, but if you have something planned outdoors just be ready for a shower at any time.
RADAR CHECK: We have widely scattered showers in progress across Alabama this afternoon with temperatures in the 77-84 degree range for most of the state. We do note Mobile and Dothan have reached the 90 degree mark. Isolated showers remain possible tonight, otherwise the sky will be mostly cloudy with a low between 65 and 72 degrees.
RADAR CHECK: A few scattered showers are moving into the western half of Alabama early this morning with temperatures at daybreak ranging from the low 60s over the Tennessee Valley to the mid 70s near the coast. Look for a mix of sun and clouds today with potential for a few scattered showers… highs will be in the mid 80s in most locations.
RADAR CHECK: Showers and thunderstorms are most active this afternoon south of a line from Auburn to Greenville to Mobile… ahead of a surface front that continues to sag southward. Showers are very isolated over the northern half of the state. And, as advertised, heat levels are down with temperatures mostly in the low to mid 80s this afternoon.
RADAR CHECK: We have a few isolated showers just before daybreak near a surface front just south of I-20, but most of Alabama is dry with temperatures in the 67-74 degree range. The front will drift slowly southward this morning before becoming nearly stationary, and we will maintain the chance of widely scattered showers or storms mostly over the southern half of the state.
RADAR CHECK: Scattered showers and thunderstorms continue to increase across Alabama this afternoon ahead of a cold front near the Shoals. We note SPC has introduced a “marginal risk” (level 1/5) of severe thunderstorms for the northeast corner of the state tonight… heavier storms there could produce strong winds this evening.
COLD FRONT APPROACHING: We note a few small, isolated showers on radar early this morning, but showers and storms will become more numerous this afternoon and tonight as a cold front pushes through the state. The chance of any given location seeing rain for the next 24 hours is 50/60 percent, and we expect a high today in the 87-91 degree range with a mix of sun and clouds.
