Rain Arrives Later Today; Colder Air For The Weekend

James Spann | November 11, 2021 @ 5:44 am

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

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

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.

Some Light Rain Tonight/Tomorrow Morning

James Spann | April 16, 2021 @ 3:17 pm

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.

Light Rain At Times Tonight; Clearing Tomorrow

James Spann | April 14, 2021 @ 3:03 pm

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 To Alabama Later Today/Tonight

James Spann | April 14, 2021 @ 5:56 am

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.
