A Noon Update on Alabama’s Weather

Eyeballing the morning run of the GFS, still some uncertainty in lots of the upcoming features to impact Alabama over the next two weeks, but a fairly high degree of certainty in a dry and cool forecast for the week ahead.

Lots of certainty in today’s weather as well. Bright blue skies and cold readings are the Alabama Weather Story.

Temperatures at noon are in the 30s across the northern third of the state, with lower 40s across the middle third, and upper 40s down south. Afternoon highs will top out around 40F near the Tennessee River, to the middle 40s in the I-20 Corridor, to those upper 40s down in South Central Alabama.

We will be cold again tonight, expecting 24F at Huntsville, 227F at Birmingham, and 28F at Montgomery.

Tomorrow will be 10 degrees warmer with a balmier southeasterly breeze kicking in and just partly cloudy skies.

Those aren’t clouds to the north and northwest; that’s snow! There are some clouds moving across the snowfield in Ohio and West Virginia, but in North Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana into Ohio, that’s snowcover.

Those are clouds to the south over the Gulf of Mexico, Florida, and the western Atlantic Ocean.

Regional radars are taking the day off until you get to West Virginia, where a few snowflakes are flying under those stratocumulus clouds there.

Some nice snows up in Maine. 12.8 inches reported as a storm total at Dallas Plantation in Franklin County in Maine. The same at Mount Vernon, Maine as well. Didn’t know they had a Mount Vernon also!

The cold is centered around the Great Lakes and Northeast for sure. 8F this hour at Monticello, Indiana. The 4F at Hibbing, MN is one of the coldest readings I can find in a non-mountainous spot. -4F Kremmling, CO this hour northwest of Denver. It is -2F at Crested Butte, where I just know they are having a field day skiing today.
