WINDY START: A wake low has developed on the back edge of the large rain mass that has been moving through overnight; gradient winds of 30-40 mph have been reported over many West Alabama counties just before daybreak. The stronger winds will last for about 30 minutes or so; a few trees could come down due to the saturated soil conditions
RADAR CHECK: We have a few patches of light rain over the central counties of Alabama this afternoon… otherwise the sky is partly sunny with temperatures mostly in the 70s. Communities across far South Alabama have reached the low 80s.
RAIN AHEAD: Most of Alabama will be dry during the day today, but a few showers are possible over the southwest corner of the state this afternoon. Tonight a large rain mass will likely move into the state ahead of a slow moving upper low to the west, which will keep Alabama’s weather wet at times for several days.
PLEASANT SPRING DAY: The sky is partly to mostly sunny across Alabama this afternoon with temperatures in the 60s and 70s. A few isolated showers could form this evening over the Tennessee Valley, otherwise tonight will be mostly fair with a low in the 50s.
COOL START: Temperatures are in the 40s across much of North/Central Alabama just before daybreak… for some places this will most likely be the last morning with temperatures in the 40s until late September or October.
Scattered storms bring a stormy start to the weekend, but quieter, warmer days are on tap for the week ahead.
WET AT TIMES: An unsettled weather pattern is ahead for Alabama through tomorrow night as we will deal with occasional showers and a few thunderstorms. A very humid airmass will remain parked across the state, and a surface front will slowly approach from the northwest.
RADAR CHECK: We have a few scattered showers in progress across Alabama this afternoon, but much of the state is dry with temperatures in the upper 70s and low 80s. Scattered strong storms will form this evening and tonight across the state
RADAR CHECK: At daybreak this morning we have few spotty showers in progress over Alabama, otherwise the sky is mostly cloudy. Scattered storms will develop this afternoon and tonight; SPC has about the northern 2/3 of the state in a low end “marginal risk” of severe thunderstorms
RADAR CHECK: Most of Alabama is rain-free this afternoon, but we do note a few showers over the southern counties of the state moving northward. Temperatures are mostly in the mid 80s, about five degrees above average for the last day of April.
WARM, MOSTLY DRY WEATHER CONTINUES: Alabama’s weather won’t change much today. Partly to mostly sunny with highs in the 80s this afternoon… showers will remain few and far between.
ANOTHER WARM DAY: Like yesterday, temperatures are mostly in the 80s across Alabama this afternoon with a good supply of sunshine; East Alabama is cooler with mid to upper 70s there. Showers are almost impossible to find… tonight will be mostly fair with a low in the 60s.
WARM SPRING WEATHER CONTINUES: Alabama’s weather won’t change much through the daytime hours Thursday. Partly to mostly sunny days, only isolated showers, and highs mostly in the 80s. Then, we will bring in a much better chance of showers and thunderstorms late Thursday afternoon, Thursday night, and Friday ahead of a cold front.
WARM SPRING DAY: Temperatures are mostly in the 80s across Alabama this afternoon with a good supply of sunshine. We note a few isolated showers and storms over far South Alabama… those will fade quickly after sunset.
