RADAR CHECK: Rain continues this afternoon in areas generally east of a line from Huntsville to Mobile. Some showers are producing heavy rain and gusty winds, but the overall severe weather threat for the rest of the evening is very low due to the lack of surface based instability. The sky will clear from the west as dry air punches into the state.
RADAR CHECK: Scattered showers are in progress across Alabama early this morning in the tropical air… this will be another day with occasional showers and a few strong thunderstorms. SPC has much of the state (except the far west and northwest counties) in a “marginal risk” (level 1/5) of severe thunderstorms today; heavier storms will be capable of producing hail and gusty winds.
RADAR CHECK: A large mass of rain and storms is over West and Southwest Alabama early this morning in the tropical airmass that covers the Deep South. Unsettled weather continues today with occasional rain and a few strong thunderstorms… all 67 Alabama counties are in a “marginal risk” (level 1/5) of severe thunderstorms as defined by SPC. Heavier storms could produce hail and strong gusty winds, like recent days.
RADAR CHECK: A large mass of rain is moving northward through the western half of Alabama early this morning, otherwise it is a cloudy, humid morning with temperatures in the 65-70 degree range. A very moist, tropical airmass continues to cover the Deep South today, and we expect occasional showers and thunderstorms with a high between 77 and 82 degrees.
RADAR CHECK: Rain is widespread over the northern 2/3 of Alabama early this morning thanks to a stalled surface front to the west, and a disturbance that moved out of the Gulf of Mexico last night. The rain will taper off from the southwest later this morning, and most of the afternoon and tonight should be dry with only spotty lingering showers around.
RADAR CHECK: As advertised, a large mass of rain and thunderstorms has pushed into Alabama this morning. There is no surface based instability over the northern half of the state, so for North Alabama the main concern will be heavy rain and possibly some small hail. The greater severe weather threat today will be over the southern counties, where stronger storms will be capable of producing large hail, damaging winds, and a few tornadoes.
RADAR CHECK: Rain is widespread over the northern 2/3 of Alabama this afternoon ahead of an upper low over North Louisiana. Temperatures are mostly in the upper 50s, about ten degrees below average for mid-March in Alabama. Periods of rain and a few thunderstorms will continue across the state through tomorrow… stronger storms tomorrow over East and Southeast Alabama could produce some hail due to the cold air aloft associated with the upper low.
WET: An approaching upper trough will bring rain back to Alabama today. Showers are lined up near the Mississippi border early this morning, but the rain will become widespread later today, and periods of rain will continue tonight and tomorrow as the upper air system slowly moves through. A few strong storms are possible near the Gulf Coast today, and over roughly the southern half of the state tomorrow.
RADAR CHECK: Widespread rain continues across parts of North/Central Alabama early this morning ahead of a cold front that is lined up from near Huntsville to Fayette at 6:00 a.m. The front will sag southward, and become stationary over the central counties later this morning as it becomes parallel to the upper air winds. Rain will end over the northern half of the state, and any showers this afternoon will be over South Alabama… and there they will be widely scattered.
