At a fork in the road, one Eufaula oak tree has full rights over itself and its land. It also has a deed from the mayor to prove it. Copies of this illustration are available from the Eufaula Chamber of Commerce.
RADAR CHECK: Rain is fairly widespread across Alabama this afternoon as a cold front continues to roll through the state. Stronger thunderstorms are pushing through the far southern counties and into the Florida Panhandle. Heavier storms there will be produce strong gusty winds and lots of lightning as they move through.
A cold front is pushing southeastward across Alabama this afternoon. A few strong to severe storms could impact South Alabama ahead of the front. Temperatures are falling behind the front and freezes are possible tonight and Saturday night.
Cold temperatures for the next two nights are prompting freeze watches and warnings for much of the area. Make sure to take precautions to protect people, plants, and pets.

RADAR CHECK: Rain is widespread over the northern half of Alabama early this morning… that rain will shift southward during the day ahead of a cold front. SPC maintains a “slight risk” (level 2/5) of severe thunderstorms for the southern quarter of Alabama today, south of a line from Grove Hill to Greenville to Troy. A “marginal risk” (level 1/5) extends as far north as Sweetwater, Prattville, and Opelika.

PLEASANT MARCH AFTERNOON: As expected, temperatures are around 70 degrees this afternoon across Alabama with a partly to mostly sunny sky. Clouds thicken tonight ahead of a cold front.
Today is a much warmer day for the state, as highs surge into the upper 60s and lower 70s with strong southerly flow returning. Tonight, clouds return ahead of a cold front that will bring rain and storms to Alabama tomorrow.
