CLOUDS RETURN TODAY: Temperatures are below freezing across most of Alabama early this morning with a fair sky. Clouds increase today ahead of a disturbance that will bring some light rain to the state late this afternoon, tonight, and tomorrow. It is possible a few ice pellets could be mixed in with the rain as it initially falls, but if that happens there will be no impact.
RADAR CHECK: We have a number of showers and storms in progress early this morning over the southern third of Alabama, south of a stalled surface front. The highest coverage of rain today will stay south of that boundary, over South Alabama…. drier air is over the northern part of the state. Temperatures north of Birmingham are in the low to mid 60s at daybreak for a little touch of fall.
RADAR CHECK: Showers and thunderstorms continue across Southeast Alabama this afternoon, mostly south of a line from Andalusia to Phenix City. The rest of the state is seeing more clouds than sun thanks to a MCV (Mesoscale Convective Vortex) spinning away over the western counties of the state. Storms will end across Southeast Alabama later tonight; the sky becomes mostly fair for the rest of the state.
MORE CHANGES AHEAD: After a sunny start, clouds will increase across Alabama today, and some rain is possible over the eastern and southern counties of the state by afternoon and tonight. Best chance of rain later today will be in areas south and east of Birmingham. The high today will be in the mid 50s, not far from average values for December 12.
STILL SOGGY: Low clouds cover Alabama this morning, and light rain continues to fall in many places at daybreak… The rain will taper off by mid to late morning, but the clouds will most likely linger throughout the day. I guess a few breaks in the overcast are possible in a few spots later, but […]

Not sure anybody could forecast this rather random cloud pattern across Alabama this afternoon. About half the state is enjoying a bright sunny sky, while the other half is cloud covered. Clouds should erode over the next few hours. A full forecast discussion coming up by 3:30.

It all depends on where you are… this early morning visible satellite shot shows the line between a gray and blue sky…
Friend of the blog Jenny Ellison sent me this really neat picture of three cloud formations near Liberty Park. Awesome Jenny!
Skies are completely clear across the entire state of Alabama early on this Sunday afternoon. On the weather maps, every station in the state has an empty circle at the center of its observational plot, indicating clear skies. If you go north, you would have to go all the way to station CYAM to find […]
