COLD START: Temperatures are in the 20s over North Alabama early this morning, with low to mid 30s over the southern counties with a clear sky. Expect a good supply of sunshine today with highs in the 50s and 60s… right at average values for January 27. Birmingham’s average high today is 55. The weather will stay dry tomorrow with a partly to mostly sunny sky; seasonal temperatures continue.
DRY THROUGH SATURDAY: Nothing on radar this afternoon; the sky is partly sunny over the northern half of the state, with sunshine in full supply over the southern counties. Temperatures are in the 40s across North Alabama, about ten degrees below average for January 26.
It is definitely looking and feeling like a winter’s day across much of North/Central Alabama. The clouds continue to hang around and it is cold with temperatures struggling to reach the 40s this afternoon.
COLD WINTER DAY: Clouds cover the northern half of Alabama early this morning, and we will maintain the risk of a few sprinkles or flurries through mid-morning. Temperatures are mostly in the mid to upper 30s at daybreak; expect a high toady in the 46-55 degree range with some sun breaking through the clouds this afternoon.
COLD WINTER DAY: Clouds cover much of Alabama this afternoon, although we are seeing some sun over parts of East and South Alabama. Temperatures have been slowly falling since this morning; we have 40s over the northern counties of the state, with 50s to the south.
RADAR CHECK: The line of strong to severe thunderstorms is pushing through the southeast corner of Alabama just before sunrise this morning, and across the Florida Panhandle. To the north, rain is over the eastern quarter of Alabama, moving quickly into Georgia. Clouds will linger across the state today, and winds could gust to 30 mph in spots through the afternoon… a wind advisory remains in effect for most of the state.
At 7:49 pm, rain has crossed over the state line and now stretched from just south of Eutaw all the way north through Florence and into Tennessee.
