Rain Returns Tomorrow Night/Friday
STILL DRY TODAY: We are starting the day with temperatures generally in the 28-32 degree range across Alabama; we rise into the mid to upper 50s this afternoon with a partly sunny sky. Clouds will thicken tonight ahead of a developing storm system to the west.
RAIN RETURNS: Most of the day tomorrow will be dry, but mostly cloudy with a high in the 50s. Rain moves into the state tomorrow night, and continues at times Friday as a surface low moves across the state. For most of Alabama, the air will be stable and there won’t be any issues with thunderstorms, but SPC maintains a “marginal risk” (level 1/5) of severe storms tomorrow night for the immediate coast, including Mobile and Baldwin Counties…
A few storms could produce strong, gusty winds along the coast tomorrow night into early Friday morning. Rain amounts tomorrow night through Friday statewide will be around one inch.
THE ALABAMA WEEKEND: The storm system will lift away from Alabama, but we will maintain the chance of lingering showers Saturday, mainly during the morning hours. Otherwise the day will be cloudy with a high in the upper 50s. Then, Sunday will be dry with a partly sunny sky… the high will be in the 55-60 degree range.
NEXT WEEK: The weather look very quiet with mostly sunny days and fair nights… highs will be mostly in the 50s with lows generally in the 30s. See the Weather Xtreme video for maps, graphics, and more details.
EARLY MORNING SHAKER: There was a magnitude 4.4 quake this morning at 3:14 a.m. CT centered just northeast of Decatur, Tennessee… in the eastern part of the state southwest of Knoxville. It was the second strongest on record for East Tennessee, and was felt across a large part of Northeast Alabama.
