RADAR CHECK: We have areas of light rain and drizzle over the northern half Alabama this afternoon… this will continue through around midnight tonight. Rain amounts will be very light, mostly under one-tenth of an inch. On the positive side, temperatures are above average across all of Alabama, including the Tennessee Valley, so additional ice accumulation isn’t likely.
TODAY: Temperatures are below freezing across Alabama, mostly in the 15-25 degree range… not as cold as yesterday morning. The sky becomes cloudy today, and we will mention the chance of some light rain at times. Initially over West Alabama late this morning, then spreading eastward through the afternoon.
RADAR CHECK: A line of severe thunderstorms is moving through South Alabama early this morning, where multiple severe thunderstorm warnings are in effect. Ahead of the line, scattered severe storms have developed as well, some with signs of producing a tornado.
RADAR CHECK: Rain continues to increase across Alabama this afternoon ahead of a dynamic weather system that will bring a variety of threats tonight and tomorrow morning.
WET NIGHT AHEAD: Clouds have been increasing across Alabama today ahead of a storm system that will bring widespread rain to the state tonight.
COLD START: Temperatures are below freezing across the northern 2/3 of Alabama this morning with a mostly fair sky. Temperatures will reach the 50s this afternoon over North Alabama, with low 60s for the southern counties of the state. Clouds will increase ahead of a weather system that will bring rain to the Deep South late this afternoon and tonight.
RADAR CHECK: Rain is falling over Southeast Alabama this afternoon, but most of the state is getting a break from the rain with generally cloudy conditions. Temperatures are mostly in the 60s, but Mobile has warmed into the mid 70s, where the sun is out.
RADAR CHECK: Rain is widespread across Alabama early this morning; temperatures are in the 50s in most places. Rain will taper off by midday, and we expect just a few isolated showers this afternoon and tonight. The sky will stay cloudy and the high today will be in the 60s.
RADAR CHECK: Rain is falling over the western half of Mississippi this afternoon; Alabama is still dry with a mix of sun and clouds. Rain moves into West Alabama by 7-8 p.m… and will spread eastward during the night.
STILL DRY TODAY: Temperatures are mostly in the 25-35 degree range across Alabama early this morning; we are forecasting a high in the 60-65 degree range this afternoon for most communities. The day will be dry with a partly sunny sky, but clouds will increase late in the day. Rain will move into West Alabama in the 8-9 p.m. time frame, then spreading eastward through the night.
RADAR CHECK: Thankfully severe thunderstorms were a no-show for Alabama overnight, no watches, no warnings. Just wind and rain; gradient winds gusted to 40 mph in spots as widespread rain covered the state.
RADAR CHECK: Light rain is falling this morning over much of North, Central, and Southwest Alabama… otherwise the sky is cloudy with temperatures in the 50s and 60s. Not a drought buster, but we will experience some badly needed rain across the Deep South today and over the weekend with periods of light rain.
RADAR CHECK: Rain is creeping into the northwest corner of Alabama this afternoon ahead of a cold front. Clouds continue to increase over the northern half of the state, while South Alabama is partly too mostly sunny. Showers are possible statewide tonight as the front pushes into the state.
RADAR CHECK: Light rain covers much of Alabama this afternoon. It isn’t reaching the ground in some spots, and rain amounts have been very light so far. Rain continues through the evening hours, then ending late tonight as the surface low (non-tropical) in the northern Gulf moves to the east.
