Clouds Moving In At Midday… Could We See Some Sprinkles Tonight?

| November 15, 2017 @ 12:01 pm

What’s Happening With Our Weather At 12:00 PM

We have some clouds moving in from the northwest as a cold front is making its way towards Central Alabama. There is a band of rain out ahead of this front that will be approaching the northwestern corner of the state, but as it does, our air at the surface is extremely dry, and that will cause any rainfall to evaporate before making it to the surface. The rest of Central Alabama have mostly clear skies. Temperatures at this point are running in the upper 50s to the lower 60s, with Birmingham currently at 59 degrees. The warm spots at this time are currently Demopolis and Tuscaloosa at 62 degrees.


Weather For The Rest Of Your Wednesday

Clouds will be on the increase throughout the rest of the daylight and into the evening hours, but no rain is expected as dry air at the surface will keep any moisture from reaching the ground. Afternoon highs will be in the lower to mid-60s across much of the area, with a few upper 60s in the southeastern corner. Skies will be partly to mostly cloudy and most everyone, if not all of Central Alabama, will remain dry tonight. There may be a sprinkle or two in the extreme northern parts of the area, but highly unlikely. Overnight lows will be in the 40s throughout the area.


Thursday’s Weather

Ridging takes control of Central Alabama’s weather for your Thursday, as high pressure moves into southern Louisiana from Texas. As this happens, the flow across Central Alabama will be from the north, reinforcing the dry air that is already over the area. There will be a few clouds, but the sun will show for much of the day. Highs will be in the mid-60s to the lower 70s throughout the area, with overnight lows in the upper 30s to the mid-40s under mainly clear skies.

For the North Atlantic, Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico, tropical cyclone formation is not expected during the next 5 days.

On This Day In Weather History
1989 – Thunderstorms developing along a powerful cold front began to produce severe weather in the Middle Mississippi Valley before sunrise, and by early the next morning thunderstorms had spawned seventeen tornadoes east of the Mississippi River, with a total of 350 reports of severe weather. There were one hundred reports of damaging winds in Georgia, and five tornadoes, and there were another four tornadoes in Alabama. Hardest hit was Huntsville AL where a violent tornado killed 21 persons, injured 463 others, and caused one hundred million dollars damage.
