Rain Moves Into Alabama Late Tonight

PLEASANT AFTERNOON: Temperatures are well up in the 60s across Alabama this afternoon with sunshine through high clouds. Those high clouds are out ahead of a weather system over Texas moving toward Alabama; the clouds will thicken and lower tonight.

Rain will move into the southwest counties of the state this evening, and the rain become widespread late tonight into tomorrow.

For North/Central Alabama, the most widespread rain should come from 2:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. tomorrow. Some thunder is possible, but we expect no severe weather, and rain amounts should be generally 1/2 inch or less. Otherwise, tomorrow will be a cloudy and cool with temperatures holding in the 50s most of the day because of clouds and rain.

SUNDAY/MONDAY These two days will feature a good supply of sunshine with warm afternoons for late February; we reach the low 70s Sunday, followed by mid 70s Monday. The 12Z GFS is actually printing a high of 78 degrees for Birmingham Monday.

MID-WEEK: Clouds move in Monday night, and we will forecast a chance of showers, and possibly a thunderstorm, Tuesday and Wednesday. For now we don’t expect any severe weather as a surface low forms well to the south over the northern Gulf of Mexico. And, rain amounts Tuesday and Wednesday should be in the 1/2 inch range for most places.

Moist air will linger into Thursday and Friday with some risk of showers both days, and afternoons will stay mild. See the Weather Xtreme video for maps, graphics, and more details.
