RADAR CHECK: Some patchy light rain persists across parts of Northeast and Central Alabama this afternoon ahead of a very slow moving surface front; the sky has cleared northwest of Birmingham where dry air has taken over. Temperatures are only in the 70s in most places over the northern half of the state; clouds will move out tonight, and tomorrow promises to be a very nice day with ample sunshine and a high in the mid 80s.
RADAR CHECK: Rain has moved out of Alabama early this morning, but clouds linger across much of the state at daybreak. We are forecasting a clearing sky today with sunshine returning this afternoon… the high will be in the 67-71 degree range for most places. The average high for Birmingham on April 18 is 76.
RADAR CHECK: A weakening band of showers is pushing through Southeast Alabama early this morning, and a few stray showers are over the northern and central counties. All of this will be ending soon, and we expect a clearing sky today with sunshine in full force this afternoon. The high today will be in the 69-74 degree range for most communities.
CALMER DAY: The heavier storms have moved out of the southeast corner of Alabama early this morning, and today will be a much calmer day for Alabama with a clearing sky along with highs in the mid 60s. Tonight will be clear and pretty cold for the end of March… temperatures will drop into the 35-40 degree range early tomorrow morning.
RADAR CHECK: Rain continues early this morning across parts of East and Southeast Alabama… that rain will be over by mid-morning. The sky should begin to clear this afternoon as drier air works into the state; temperatures will hold in the 60s all day. Tonight will be mostly fair and very cool with a low around 40 degrees.
RADAR CHECK: The large mass of rain and storms that brought flooding, strong winds, and some hail to Alabama this morning is pretty much out of the state this afternoon; storms linger over the far southeast counties. The sky is clearing over West Alabama, where temperatures have recovered into the low 70s. Additional showers and a few thunderstorms will likely develop ahead of a cold front over the western side of the state over the new few hours, moving eastward this evening.
CLEARING: The sky will clear across Alabama over the next 6 hours as dry air punches into the state from the west. We project a low mostly in the mid 30s early tomorrow, but a few colder spots could see a light freeze.
RADAR CHECK: A band of rain is over parts of East and South Alabama early this morning, generally south of a line from Centre to Calera to Demopolis. This rain is in response to a wave moving along a stalled front over South Alabama… as the wave moves eastward the rain will end by mid-morning, and the sky becomes mostly sunny statewide this afternoon.
RADAR CHECK: Showers are pretty much out of the state this afternoon… we are seeing just a few patches of drizzle over East Alabama. The sky is clearing over the northwest counties, and all of the state will be clear tonight. We expect a low in the upper 40s for most places early tomorrow morning.
