Drier Air Enters North Alabama Late Tonight; A Few Storms For South Alabama Tomorrow

James Spann | June 2, 2022 @ 3:08 pm

RADAR CHECK: Rain and thunderstorms are fairly widespread over the northern half of Alabama this afternoon… heavier storms are producing small hail and strong gusty winds. Temperatures have cooled into the 70s where rain is falling… but South Alabama is mostly sunny with temperatures hovering around 90 degrees. Showers and storms will taper off tonight as a front pushes into the state from the north, and the air becomes more stable.

Rain Tonight/Tomorrow Morning; Late Season Freeze This Weekend

James Spann | March 8, 2022 @ 3:12 pm

RADAR CHECK: Rain is falling across much of East Alabama this afternoon, and more rain is moving into the western counties. Rain will be widespread statewide tonight as a wave of low pressure moves along a stalled front over South Alabama; SPC has defined a “slight risk” (level 2/5) of severe thunderstorms tonight for parts of South Alabama, including Mobile and Baldwin counties, with a “marginal risk” (level 1/5) as far north as Thomasville, Hope Hull, and Troy.

Rain Moves Back In Later Today; Late Season Freeze This Weekend

James Spann | March 8, 2022 @ 5:58 am

RADAR CHECK: Showers are increasing along and north of a stalled surface front over South Alabama early this morning. A wave of low pressure forms along the front today, and rain becomes widespread statewide this afternoon and tonight. The air will be cool and stable over most of the state (highs will be in the 50s today north of the front), but SPC has defined a low end “marginal risk” of severe thunderstorms for Mobile and Baldwin counties, and some of the adjacent counties.

Rain Arrives Later Today; Colder Air For The Weekend

RADAR CHECK: Most of Alabama is dry early this morning, but we note a band of rain and a few thunderstorms across the Mid-South, over West Tennessee down into the Mississippi Delta region. This rain is along a cold front, and it will push into Alabama later this morning. Most of the rain today will come from 11:00 a.m. until 8:00 p.m… amounts should be mostly 1/2 inch or less. Some thunder is certainly possible, if not likely, but no severe thunderstorms are expected today with the main dynamic support well to the north.

Rain Arrives Late Tonight; Big Cooling Trend Tomorrow/Friday

James Spann | October 27, 2021 @ 12:15 pm

CLOUDS MOVING IN THIS AFTERNOON: After a mostly sunny start, clouds will move into Alabama this afternoon ahead of a dynamics weather system to the west producing rain and storms over Arkansas and Louisiana. Strong to severe storms are possible over parts of South and Southwest Alabama tonight… SPC maintains a “slight risk” (level 2/5) for most of Mobile, Baldwin and Escambia counties, with a “marginal risk” (level 1/5) as far north and east as Sweetwater, Greenville and Ozark.

Moist Air Will Stick Around Through The Weekend

James Spann | September 15, 2021 @ 3:29 pm

RADAR CHECK: Rain is widespread across the southern 2/3 of Alabama this afternoon, thanks to the remnants of Nicholas over Louisiana. The heaviest rain has been falling near the Gulf Coast… flash flood warnings are in effect for the southern part of Mobile and Baldwin counties. SPC maintains a “marginal risk” (level 1/5) over the southwest corner of the state through tonight due to the potential of a brief, isolated tornado in a few spots.

Cloudy, Wet Day For Alabama

James Spann | September 15, 2021 @ 5:47 am

RADAR CHECK: Rain is fairly widespread across Alabama early this morning, thanks to the remnant circulation of Nicholas that is over Louisiana. Today will be cloudy with periods of rain and maybe a rumble of thunder… temperatures will hold in the 70s all day. We do note SPC maintains a “marginal risk” (level 1/5) for the southwest corner of Alabama today, where a brief, isolated tornado can’t be ruled out.

Drier Air For North/Central Alabama Tomorrow

James Spann | August 2, 2021 @ 3:12 pm

RADAR CHECK: A large mass of rain covers much of Central Alabama this afternoon… we note heavier thunderstorms developing over South Alabama ahead of a surface front draped across the state. Heavy rain is moving into Montgomery as I write this at mid-afternoon. Storms are below severe limits, and temperatures are well below average for early August. Birmingham reports 78 degrees at 3p CT… the average high for August 2 is 91.

Rain Over South Alabama Tonight; Statewide Tomorrow

James Spann | June 18, 2021 @ 3:22 pm

TROPICAL SOAKER AHEAD: A broad tropical low in the Gulf of Mexico (Potential Tropical Cyclone 3) has spread a large mass of rain onto the Gulf Coast this afternoon… elsewhere across Alabama the sky is partly sunny with temperatures mostly in the 87-90 degree range. Clouds will thicken tonight as the tropical low moves northward.
