WARM MARCH DAY: Temperatures are mostly in the low to mid 80s across Alabama this afternoon… so far no new records. The average high for Birmingham on March 27 is 70. The air is dry, and the sky is mostly sunny as a strong upper high over the Gulf of Mexico remains the dominant weather feature. The sky will remain mostly fair tonight with a low in the 60s.
ANOTHER VERY WARM MARCH DAY: We are forecasting a high this afternoon between 84 and 88 degrees for most of Alabama; right at record levels for late March.
SUNNY, WARM AFTERNOON: Temperatures are mostly in the 78-85 degree range across Alabama this afternoon with a clear sky. No records so far, but maximum temperatures are reached around 4-5 p.m. this time of the year (I am writing this around 3:00). The average high for Birmingham on March 26 is 69. Tonight will be clear with a low in the 60s.
SUMMER PREVIEW: We are starting this day with temperatures in the upper 40s and low 50s in most places, but look for a big warm-up today with sunshine in full supply. The high this afternoon will be in the mid 80s, very close to record levels for late March in Alabama.
SPECTACULAR SPRING DAY: As advertised, this has been a delightful day across Alabama. With a sunny sky temperatures are in the 60s over the Tennessee Valley, the 70s for the central counties, and the 80s across South Alabama. Tonight will be clear and cool; most communities will drop into the 48-54 degree range early tomorrow.
WARM MARCH DAY: Temperatures are mostly in the 78-83 degree range across Alabama this afternoon with a mix of sun and clouds. We note a few spotty showers over the western half of the state, but most communities remain dry.
CALM PATTERN THROUGH TOMORROW: Not much change in the Alabama weather situation over the next 48 hours. While showers are certainly possible today and tomorrow, they should be very widely scattered. Otherwise, look for a mix of sun and clouds both days with a high between 77 and 80 today, followed by low 80s tomorrow. The average high for Birmingham on March 18 is 67.
**No afternoon Weather Xtreme video today** WARMEST SO FAR: The sky is partly to mostly sunny across much of Alabama this afternoon, with temperatures in the 75-80 degree range. Evergreen, in South Alabama, hit 82 degrees at 2p CT. As I write this, Birmingham’s high so far is 77; up until today our warmest temperature […]
WARM MARCH DAY: Clouds across Alabama this morning should give way to a partly sunny sky this afternoon; we project a high between 75 and 78 degrees. In fact, today will be the warmest day so far this year for many communities… the warmest day so far in 2020 at Birmingham was back on February 12 when the high was 76. We could beat that this afternoon. A shower or two is certainly possible, but they will be few and far between.
ON THE MAPS: A strong cold front this morning stretches from near Milwaukee to Little Rock to Houston… it will move into Alabama tonight, but we will have one more day with highs in the 80s before it arrives.
