Plenty Of Shower Activity Out There At Midday

| March 11, 2019 @ 11:59 am

At 11:40 am on this gray Monday, we have showers with a few embedded claps of thunder moving across the area, with the heaviest activity located from Brent back to Eutaw and down to Demopolis and Cuba. There is another batch of heavier activity just south of Huntsville stretching from Scottsboro back to New Hope and Hartselle. All of this activity is due to a front that is stalled over the southern parts of the state along with a weak upper disturbance making its way through the area. Temperatures at this time are in the mid-40s to the mid-60s across the area from north to south. Birmingham was at 55 degrees. Haleyville was the cold spot at 46 degrees. A few locations in the southern parts of the area were tied as the warm spot at 66 degrees.

The good news is that we do not expect any severe storms in Central Alabama throughout the day today, but SPC does have a Marginal Risk up for those extreme southern locations in the state. No tornado threat, but isolated damaging wind gusts up to 60 MPH are possible in the risk locations.

WEATHER FOR THE REST OF YOUR MONDAY

We’ll continue to have these showers, with a few embedded rumbles of thunder, move across the area throughout the rest of the daylight hours, but they should be out of the area and into Georgia by 7:00 pm tonight. Where it’s not raining, skies will be cloudy. Afternoon highs will range from the upper 50s to the mid-70s across the area from north to south. For tonight and through the overnight hours, we dry out and skies will be partly to mostly cloudy. Lows will be in the mid-40s to the lower 50s.

DRY ON TUESDAY
We’ll have a mix of sun and clouds but temperatures will be really nice and above seasonal normals. Afternoon highs will be in the mid-60s to the mid-70s across the area from north to south. Tuesday evening and through the overnight will be partly to mostly cloudy with lows in the 50s.

ON THIS DAY IN WEATHER HISTORY
2006 – Phoenix’s record run for dry days finally ends at 143 days. The last measured rain fell on October 18, 2005. Not only did the rain break the dry spell, but the 1.40 inches that fell was also a record amount for the date.
