RADAR CHECK: Not much on radar across Alabama this afternoon; we are seeing more clouds than sun on satellite images and temperatures are in the mid 60s for most places, about ten degrees below average for April 16.
Clouds are increasing across Alabama as moisture levels continue to rise due to a low pressure tracking along the Gulf Coast the next 24 hours.
WET AT TIMES: A disturbance will bring some rain to Alabama over the next 48 hours. While a few sprinkles are possible today, most of the daytime hours will be dry… clouds will increase with a high in the upper 60s. Rain is likely at times tonight and tomorrow morning; heaviest rain will come over Southwest Alabama where a flash flood watch remains in effect for Mobile and Washington counties.
Friday continues to look to be a dry and cool day at the track, but rain moves in late on Friday evening and potentially continuing through much of the morning on Saturday. It dries out during Saturday afternoon, setting the stage for a beautiful and mild day on Sunday.
QUIET AFTERNOON: As advertised, the sky has become mostly sunny across North and Central Alabama this afternoon with temperatures around 70 degrees. Clouds linger over the southern counties, but there is nothing there on radar. The weather will be cool and dry statewide tonight… temperatures will drop into the mid 40s over the northern half of the state.
The sky is becoming partly to mostly sunny this afternoon as drier air works into the state, and overall it is a pretty nice afternoon across North/Central Alabama with temperatures in the upper 60s and low 70s.
RADAR CHECK: Rain and strong storms are moving along the Alabama Gulf Coast early this morning, and there is some patchy light rain over the northern counties as well. All of this rain will move out of the state by mid-morning, and the sky becomes partly to mostly sunny by late morning, and into the afternoon as drier air arrives. The high today will be in the 67-71 degree range.
RADAR CHECK: Rain continues to fall this afternoon over much of East, Central, and Southwest Alabama. There have been a few embedded thunderstorms today, but they have been well below severe limits. We will maintain the chance of some rain at times tonight and early tomorrow, but a punch of dry air rolls into the state during the day tomorrow with a clearing sky.
