ONE MORE SPRING-LIKE DAY: With a good supply of sunshine, temperatures will warm into the 65-70 degree range for most Alabama communities this afternoon… about ten degrees above average for mid-February. Enjoy it since there will be some major weather changes over the weekend.
TERRIFIC THURSDAY: With a sunny sky, temperatures have warmed into the 65-70 degree range across Alabama this afternoon…. about ten degrees above average for mid-February. Tonight will be clear with a low between 36 and 46 degrees.
MILD AFTERNOON; RAIN TONIGHT: Temperatures will warm to near 60 degrees across Alabama today… it will be the warmest day of the week, and most likely the warmest day for the next two weeks. Clouds will increase, and rain will creep into the northwest corner of the state by late afternoon ahead of a cold front. Rain is likely over the northern half of the state tonight as the front pushes southward.
MERRY CHRISTMAS! On this Christmas Eve, temperatures are mostly in the mid to upper 60s across Alabama, about ten degrees above average for December 24. The sky will become mostly cloudy tonight as moisture levels rise… the low will be in the 50s.
NEAR RECORD WARMTH LATER TODAY: We expect a high in the 70-75 degree range across most of Alabama today. Birmingham’s record high is 73 set in 1984… it could be in danger if the sun breaks out for a while this afternoon. Most of the day should be dry, although showers remain possible over far North Alabama near the Tennessee state line, and over the southwest counties of the state. Showers are possible statewide after midnight tonight as a cold front approaches.
DRY THROUGH FRIDAY: With a partly sunny sky this afternoon, temperatures are mostly in the mid to upper 60s, although we are seeing a few low 70s over the western counties of the state. The sky will be mostly fair tonight with a low in the 50s.
UNSEASONABLY MILD: An upper ridge will keep Alabama mostly dry and very mild through Friday. The high today will be close to 70, followed by low 70s tomorrow, and potentially mid 70s Friday. The sky will be mostly sunny today, and partly sunny tomorrow and Friday… showers will be almost impossible to find due to the ridge.
SPRING-LIKE WEATHER CONTINUES: Temperatures are generally in the 70-75 degree range across Alabama this afternoon; a few high clouds are moving through, but the low levels are dry and there is nothing on radar. Tonight will be mostly fair with a low in the 45-55 degree range.
HIGHS REMAIN IN THE 70s: Spring-like weather will continue across Alabama through the weekend with afternoon highs in the 72-75 degree range for most communities. The sky will be mostly sunny today, followed by a mix of sun and clouds tomorrow and Sunday. While most of the weekend will be dry, a brief shower can’t be ruled out over the northwest corner of the state tomorrow. And, a few isolated showers are possible over the northern half of the state Sunday.
MILD DECEMBER DAY: With sunshine in full supply, temperatures are mostly in the 70-75 degree range across Alabama. The average high for Birmingham on December 2 is 60. Tonight will be clear with a low in the 45-55 degree range.
SPRING-LIKE: Afternoon temperatures across Alabama will remain about 10-15 degrees above average through the weekend; highs will be generally in the 71-75 degree range. The air will remain dry, and rain-free conditions are expected through Sunday. Look for a sunny sky today and tomorrow, followed by partly sunny conditions over the weekend…. morning lows will be in the 40s and 50s.
MILD DECEMBER WEATHER: Temperatures are generally in the 67-72 degree range across Alabama this afternoon with a good supply of sunshine. Scattered clouds over North Alabama are in association with an “Alberta clipper” wave that is moving through Tennessee and Kentucky. Tonight will be mostly fair with a low in the 40s and low 50s.
WELCOME TO DECEMBER: Today marks the beginning of meteorological winter, which runs through February 28. The firm dates of meteorological seasons allow us to better observe data and make year-to-year comparisons, since they’re based on the annual temperature cycle, rather than the exact timing of the Earth’s orbit. In terms of astronomy, winter begins at the solstice on December 21 at 9:59a CT, the day with the shortest amount of daylight.
MILD AFTERNOON: As expected, temperatures are mostly in the mid 70s across Alabama this afternoon with a good supply of sunshine. Clouds will slowly increase tonight ahead of an approaching cold front.
