SUMMER PREVIEW: An upper ridge across the Southeast U.S. will bring some of the warmest weather so far this year to Alabama and the Deep South through the Easter weekend with highs well into the 80s daily. A few spots will approach 90 degrees tomorrow, about 10 to 15 degrees above average for mid to late April.
SUNNY APRIL AFTERNOON: Temperatures are close to the 80 degree mark at mid-afternoon across Alabama with a sunny sky. Tonight will be clear with a low in the 50s.
WARMER DAYS AHEAD: We are forecasting a high in the low 80s for most Alabama communities today, followed by mid 80s tomorrow and over the weekend. No risk of any rain through Saturday with mostly sunny days and fair nights.
SUNNY SPRING DAY: With sunshine in full supply, temperatures are in the 70s across Alabama this afternoon… very close to seasonal averages. Tonight will be clear with a low in the 47-54 degree range.
NICE WARM-UP: Some of the colder spots over North Alabama have dipped into the 30s early this morning, but most places are in the 40s at daybreak. Look for a high in the 70s today with sunshine in full supply.
COOLER SPRING DAY: Temperatures are mostly in the low to mid 70s across Alabama this afternoon with a sunny sky. Tonight will be clear and cool with a low in the 40s.
RADAR CHECK: We note a few sprinkles over the northern third of Alabama early this morning along a cold front, but most places will stay dry today. Morning clouds will give way to afternoon sunshine, and the day will be cooler with highs in the 68-74 degree range this afternoon.
WARM SPRING DAY: Temperatures are generally in the low to mid 80s across Alabama this afternoon with sunshine in full supply. We note the average high for Birmingham on April 14 is 75.
BIG WARM-UP: Temperatures rise into the 80s across Alabama this afternoon with a good supply of sunshine. Then, a cold front will slip into Alabama late tonight and early tomorrow… this will drop temperatures about 10 degrees tomorrow.
We’re looking at nearly a completely dry week ahead with no threat of severe weather anywhere across Alabama over the next seven days.
RADAR CHECK: As expected we have scattered showers over the northern half of Alabama this afternoon as a deep upper trough moves through. Because the air aloft is so cold, some of the showers are producing small pea sized hail.
SCATTERED AFTERNOON SHOWERS: With a mix of sun and clouds we project a high in the 65-72 degree range across Alabama today. As a deep upper trough moves through, we expect a few scattered showers over the northern half of the state this afternoon and early tonight; rain amounts will be light and spotty.
RADAR CHECK: Most of Alabama is rain-free this afternoon; with a partly to mostly sunny sky temperatures are generally in the 70s. But a surface front will bring a band of scattered showers and thunderstorms into the state tonight. SPC maintains a “slight risk” (level 2/5) of severe thunderstorms for roughly the northern half of Alabama.
STORMS LATE TODAY/TONIGHT: While most of the day today will be dry with highs in the 70s, a front will push a broken band of showers and storms into the state late this afternoon and tonight. SPC has defined a “slight risk” (level 2/5) of severe thunderstorms for roughly the northern half of Alabama.
