WARM DECEMBER DAY: Temperatures are mostly in the 68-73 degree range across Alabama this afternoon with a partly sunny sky. We do note a few showers over the northwest corner of the state around the Shoals. Showers remain possible there through the evening hours, otherwise tonight will be mostly fair with a low in the 50s.
DECEMBER WARMTH: Most of Alabama will remain dry through tomorrow, although a few isolated showers could show up over the southwest counties of the state tomorrow afternoon as moisture levels rise. With a partly sunny sky, we project high in the low 70s today, and then in the 72-75 degree range tomorrow.
WARM DECEMBER DAY: A warm front continues to push northward across Alabama early this morning with a few scattered showers; the sky will be generally cloudy today with a very mild afternoon. We project a high in the mid 70s… the record high for December 10 is 79 set in 2007. We will be watching developments to the northwest late this afternoon and tonight; SPC has defined an “enhanced risk” (level 3/5) of severe thunderstorms from the Mississippi Delta region northward into parts of Illinois and Indiana. Storms that form in that region will become severe, and a strong tornado or two can’t be ruled out.
ONE MORE WARM DAY: We are forecasting a partly sunny sky for Alabama today with a high in the mid 80s, but the long awaited cold front is getting close. Most communities will be dry during the day, but a few showers are possible over the Tennessee Valley, especially the northwest corner of the state.
WARM AFTERNOON: Temperatures are mostly in the 82-86 degree range across Alabama again today with a good supply of sunshine. Nothing on radar, and the sky will stay mostly clear tonight with a low in the 60s.
STILL WARM THROUGH TOMORROW: An upper ridge over Alabama will keep us warm and dry today and tomorrow; afternoon highs will remain in the 84-87 degree range, almost ten degrees above average for mid-October. The average high for October 14 at Birmingham is 77.
WARM AFTERNOONS THROUGH FRIDAY: An upper ridge will keep Alabama dry today and tomorrow… expect a partly to mostly sunny sky both days with afternoon highs in the 84-88 degree range. The average high for Birmingham on October 13 is 77.
RADAR CHECK: Showers are almost impossible to find across Alabama this afternoon, despite a surface front nearby that is stalled out near the northwest corner of the state. We have a mix of sun and clouds, and temperatures are mostly in the low to mid 80s. A few spotty showers could still develop this evening, but most places will remain dry tonight.
RADAR CHECK: We have a few small, isolated showers over Northwest Alabama early this morning ahead of a surface front that will stall out northwest of Alabama. We will mention the chance of small, spotty showers today over the northern half of the state, but the chance of any one place seeing rain is only 10-20 percent. Otherwise, today will be warm again with a mix of sun and clouds… the high will be in the mid 80s.
