Saturday Weather Briefing — A Few Showers Today with a Big Contrast in Temperatures

| February 25, 2023 @ 7:02 am

Today will be a mostly cloudy day across the area, with a big temperature gradient from north to south as a front stalls out over the southern parts of the state. We can expect a chance of scattered light showers across Central Alabama, with highs ranging from the lower 60s to the lower 80s.

The stalled front lifts northward as a warm front on Sunday that will bring warmer temperatures to the area. Clouds will remain, but we look to stay mainly dry. Highs in the lower 70s to the lower 80s.

A strong low will be quickly moving toward the Great Lakes Region and will drag a cold front through Central Alabama during the latter half of Monday. We’ll have a chance of showers and thunderstorms starting after the noon hour, and winds will be breezy at times. Highs in the mid 70s to the lower 80s.

The front will make it to the Gulf Coast on Tuesday that will bring slightly drier air to much of Central Alabama. Enjoy the day if you can, as it will be the only sunny day of this forecast period. Highs in the lower 70s to the lower 80s.

On Wednesday, the front will begin to move back northward as a warm front, bringing back warmer temperatures and higher humidity levels. A short wave will be moving into the Tennessee Valley by the afternoon hours that will increase our risks of showers and thunderstorms over the northern parts of the area. For now, we may see a strong storm or two, but we’ll have to wait and see what the higher-resolution models say when they come into play. Highs in the mid 70s to the mid 80s.

With a stalled front over the northern parts of the state, Thursday looks to be a mainly wet day, with showers and thunderstorms likely at times. Highs in the upper 60s to the lower 80s.

And at the end of the forecast period on Friday… A surface low is projected to move across the northwest corner of the state by midday that will bring more rain and storms to all of Central Alabama. We’ll have to watch for strong storms south of the low’s path, as it will move through close to the peak of daytime heating. Highs will be in the lower 60s to the lower 70s.
