COLD AND WET: As this day begins we have widespread rain falling over North Alabama in a cold airmass. In fact, a number of places had some sleet at the onset of the precipitation thanks to evaporative cooling. Temperatures, however, are above freezing, and there is no impact from the sleet.
COLD NIGHT AHEAD: As expected, today is breezy and much colder across North/Central Alabama. We saw some low 80s at this time yesterday; Cullman and Haleyville are at 39 degrees at mid-afternoon today. Most communities are in the 40s, and with a clear sky and diminishing wind tonight temperatures will drop pretty quickly. We project a low in the 25-29 degree range early tomorrow morning.
COLD, DRY AFTERNOON: Temperatures are in the 30s over the northern quarter of the state this afternoon despite sunshine in fully supply; we have low to mid 40s across the central counties. Tonight will be fair and very cold; lows will range from 15 to 25. Colder temperatures will be in the valleys, as usual.
COLD, DRY: Look for a sunny sky today with a high in the mid 40s. Tonight will be clear and cold again; we project a low between 15 and 22 for most communities tomorrow… it will be one of the coldest mornings so far this winter.
SUNNY, COLD AFTERNOON: The much discussed, underperforming snow event in Alabama ended early this morning, and we have sunshine in full supply this afternoon with temperatures generally between 37 and 41 degrees. The air is dry, and most roads are dry as well. Tonight will be clear and cold… most communities will see a low between 18 and 22 degrees early tomorrow morning.
BLUE SKY AND SUNSHINE: The sky is mostly sunny across Alabama this afternoon with 40s for the northern counties of the state, and 50s to the south. Tonight will be fair and cold with freezing temperatures early tomorrow; most places will fall into the 20s.
COLD START: Temperatures are generally in the 25-32 degree range across the northern half of Alabama this morning, and today will be another cold, dry day with ample sunshine along with a high in the mid 40s. Tonight will be clear and cold again; most communities will drop into the mid to upper 20s early tomorrow morning.
SUNNY BUT COLD: We pretty much have a case of “severe clear” across Alabama this afternoon with temperatures in the 40s. A secondary surge of cold air arrives tonight, mostly in dry fashion, although a snow flake or two might be seen somewhere across North Alabama after midnight. Temperatures will fall into the 20s early tomorrow morning…then the daytime hours tomorrow will be sunny and a bit colder, with a high between 40 and 45 degrees across the northern half of the state.
A CHILL IN THE AIR: As expected, colder air has moved into Alabama this morning, and some communities saw a few snow flurries/showers during the pre-dawn hours. Temperatures are mostly in the 30-35 degree range over the northern half of the state; we have heard of no travel issues or ice from standing water after yesterday’s soaking rain. Look for a clearing sky today with a high in between 45 and 49 degrees.
SUNNY BUT COLD: Despite sunshine in full supply, temperatures are only in the 30s and 40s over North Alabama this afternoon, with 50s across the southern counties. Tonight will be clear and cold, but not as cold as last night. Most places will see a low in the upper 20s early tomorrow morning.
FRIGID START: Temperatures at the official reporting stations over North/Central Alabama are mostly between 20 and 25 degrees at daybreak with a clear sky; colder valleys are in the upper teens. Look for sunshine in fully supply across Alabama today with a high in the 40s over North Alabama, with 50s across the southern counties of the state. Tonight will be clear, and not quite as cold as last night with lows mostly in the upper 20s and low 30s early tomorrow morning.
COLD, CLOUDY DAY: Temperatures are basically unchanged across Alabama since early this morning. We have upper 30s and low 40s at mid-afternoon, with clouds hanging tough as expected. Birmingham reports 41 degrees at 2:00 p.m… that is 13 degrees below average for January 14.
CLOUDS, BUT DRY: We expect the cloud cover to hang tough over the northern half of Alabama today, but the low levels are fairly dry and the day should be dry. Like yesterday, temperatures won’t get out of the 40s. Down in South Alabama some sun is likely with a high in the 50s.
SUNNY BUT COLD: The sky is sunny across the great state of Alabama this afternoon, but temperatures are below average for mid-January with 40s over the northern counties, and 50s for South Alabama. Another freeze is likely tonight; most places will see a low in the 20s early tomorrow. Then, during the day tomorrow, the sky will be partly to mostly sunny with a high in the 50s. Clouds will increase tomorrow night.
CHILLY MORNING: Temperatures are mostly in the 27-32 degree range across North/Central Alabama early this morning, and we won’t get past the 40s later today despite sunshine in full supply. Tonight will be cold again with a freeze likely again early tomorrow morning. Then, during the day tomorrow, we expect a partly sunny sky with a high in the low 50s. Clouds thicken tomorrow night.
STILL WET THIS MORNING: A large mass of rain continues across Alabama this morning; the rain will end from west to east in coming hours as a complex storm system begins to lift away. Strong northwest winds will develop as the pressure gradient tightens… averaging 12-25 mph with occasionally higher gusts. Clouds will linger through the afternoon, and unfortunately temperatures will go nowhere. In fact, they will slowly fall, and some communities over North Alabama could reach the upper 30s this afternoon. It will be a raw, cold, and blustery day.
