Friday afternoon, April 26, 2024
Forecaster: Ryan Stinnett

THROUGH THE WEEKEND: For the rest of today, expect more sun than clouds with afternoon highs in the low to mid 80s. Rain chances are very low, but not zero, so a stray shower or two is possible. For Saturday and Sunday, the weather stays very warm and generally dry with partly sunny days and highs will range from the low to upper 80s across the state. Rain chances again are not zero, but generally less than 10% both days.

BIRMINGHAM ALMANAC: For April 22nd, the average high for Birmingham is 78° and the average low is 55°. The record high is 89° set in 1986, while the record low is 34° set in 1910. We average 0.16” of precipitation on this date, and the record value is 1.98” set in 2007.

ACROSS THE USA: Critical fire weather conditions, severe thunderstorms capable of producing severe wind gusts, large hail, strong tornadoes and heavy rainfall remain on tap for the central U.S. this evening. Flash flooding is also possible for portions of the Plains and Mississippi Valley. Very large hail up to 3 inches in diameter will be possible this evening across western Kansas.

NEXT WEEK: A weakening front will bring the chance of showers to Alabama late Monday and into Tuesday, but severe storms are not expected with the main dynamic support passing far to the north. The weather looks dry Wednesday through Friday and the week will be warm with highs in the 80s. Still no sign of any high impact weather event (flooding, severe storms, etc) for Alabama for the next seven to ten days and let’s be extremely thankful for that. Rainfall potential the next seven days across Alabama, is near zero for most of the state.
