RADAR CHECK: Not much on radar across Alabama this afternoon; we are seeing more clouds than sun on satellite images and temperatures are in the mid 60s for most places, about ten degrees below average for April 16.
RADAR CHECK: Rain continues to fall this afternoon over much of East, Central, and Southwest Alabama. There have been a few embedded thunderstorms today, but they have been well below severe limits. We will maintain the chance of some rain at times tonight and early tomorrow, but a punch of dry air rolls into the state during the day tomorrow with a clearing sky.
RAIN RETURNS: Today will be cloudy and considerably cooler; most places won’t get past the low 70s today. And, rain will move into the state by late morning into the midday hours. A few thunderstorms are possible this afternoon; SPC maintains a “marginal risk” (level 1/5) for Mobile, Baldwin, and Washington counties, but severe weather won’t be an issue for most of the state.
ANOTHER PREVIEW OF SPRING: Temperatures have soared into the 70s across Alabama again this afternoon with a partly to mostly sunny sky. Clouds will return tonight ahead of a cold front, with some rain moving into the northern half of the state after midnight.
ACTIVE WINTER WEATHER PATTERN: An active winter weather pattern will continue across Alabama and the eastern half of the nation for at least the next 7 to 10 days. Most of Alabama is covered by clouds today and we have see a few patches of drizzle and sleet. Temperatures are mostly in the 50s.
NICE WARM-UP TODAY: Temperatures are below freezing again this morning for much of Alabama, but look for a nice warm-up today with many communities reaching the low 60s by afternoon. Clouds will increase ahead of a cold front, and rain is likely statewide tonight.
WET IS THE WORD: The combination of a stalled surface front, and an upper wave approaching from the west will bring cloudy, wet weather to Alabama over the next 36 hours. Look for periods of rain today, tonight, and tomorrow; rain amounts of around 1 inch are likely. No risk of severe storms, probably no thunder.
RADAR CHECK: This morning snow is falling across Alabama generally north of a line from Aliceville to Jasper to Cullman to Guntersville; south of that line it is mostly rain along with some sleet.
