Dry Tomorrow; Rain Returns Thursday

James Spann | April 24, 2018 @ 3:28 pm

REST OF THE WEEK: Tomorrow will be dry with a mix of sun and clouds; the high will be in the low 70s for most communities. Clouds thicken tomorrow night, and Thursday looks wet with occasional rain throughout the day. We won’t get out of the 60s Thursday due to clouds and rain. Then, on Friday, we expect some sun during the day, but a few showers are possible Friday afternoon and Friday evening ahead of an approaching cold front. Moisture will be pretty limited, and rain amounts should be light.

A Few Widely Scattered Showers Today

UPPER LOW TO THE NORTH: Not much change in our weather today; an upper low near Nashville will continue to bring cloudy periods to the northern half of the state with some risk of widely scattered showers, mostly this afternoon and early tonight. The high should be close to 70 degrees this afternoon, below the average high of 76 for April 24 (at Birmingham).

Scattered Showers Remain Possible Tomorrow

UPPER LOW NEARBY: A deep upper low is passing north of Alabama, and is responsible for scattered showers across the state this afternoon. Most of the rain at mid-afternoon was east of I-65, and north of I-20. Away from the showers we are seeing some breaks in the cloud cover, and temperatures are mostly in the upper 60s and low 70s. Showers will taper off later this evening once the sun goes down.

A Few Scattered Showers Today

ON THE MAPS: A deep upper low is over Arkansas this morning; the heavy rain we had last night is now well to the east… and we see only a few scattered, light rain showers over North Alabama. Today will feature more clouds than sun for the northern half of the state, and we will maintain the chance of a few scattered showers as the upper low approaches. Nothing too heavy or widespread; the high this afternoon will be close to 70 degrees.

Great Weather Today, Rain Returns Tomorrow

Terrific weather across Alabama today, if you can, get out and enjoy it, because it will not last. We are seeing tons of sunshine, and we are all into the 70s this afternoon, but rain is on the way.

One More Dry Day Before Rain Returns

THE ALABAMA WEEKEND: We will squeeze out one more nice day tomorrow; the sky will be partly to mostly sunny with a high between 72 and 75. Clouds will increase tomorrow night, and rain will move in Sunday morning ahead of an approaching low pressure area. Expect widespread rain Sunday afternoon into Sunday night; the air will be stable across the northern half of the state and we probably won’t have much thunder.

Rain Rolls Into Alabama Sunday

THE ALABAMA WEEKEND: Our weather stays dry tomorrow; the sky will be partly to mostly sunny with a high in the mid 70s. Clouds roll in quickly tomorrow night, and rain moves in Sunday morning. Rain will be widespread through the afternoon and into Sunday night. No risk of severe weather for the northern half of the state, but SPC has defined a “marginal risk” for parts of South Alabama.

COOL, BREEZY DAY: A cold front passed through in mostly dry fashion across Alabama last night, and today will be considerably cooler than yesterday with a high only in the low to mid 60s with a northwest wind of 12-22 mph.

Most of the larger cities will see a low closer to 40.

WARM SPRING DAY: Temperatures are hovering right around 80 degrees across the great state of Alabama this afternoon with a good supply of sunshine through scattered clouds. A cold front will pass through tonight… it could squeeze out a few isolated showers, but moisture is very limited, and most communities will stay dry.

Close To 80 Later Today; Cooler Tomorrow

James Spann | April 18, 2018 @ 5:25 am

WARM WEDNESDAY: With a partly sunny sky, we are forecasting a high around 80 degrees this afternoon, a little above the average high of 75 for April 18. Then, tonight, there is a small risk of a brief passing shower thanks to a cold front passing through. Moisture will be very limited, and most communities will stay dry.

Cold April Mornings

James Spann | April 16, 2018 @ 6:03 am

SOME FROST EARLY TOMORROW: Tonight will be clear and cold with a light wind. Most of the larger cities will see a low between 38 and 42, but colder spots will drop down into the 30-36 degree range due to radiational cooling, with a chance of frost. Growers beware. Then, the day tomorrow will be sunny and warmer with a high back in the 70s.
