BIG SPREAD: As advertised, there is a huge range of temperatures across Alabama this afternoon. At 2:00p CT… the range was from 40 at Haleyville to 77 at Mobile. Clouds cover much of the state, although the sun is peeking out at times over the southern counties.
Given the recent stretch of warm weather and subsequently warm ground temperatures, bridges and other elevated and exposed surfaces will be most susceptible to glaze accumulations due to freezing rain.

RADAR CHECK: Rain is falling in the vicinity of a cold front over the northwest corner of Alabama early this morning; the rest of the state is cloudy. We note a dense fog advisory is in effect for much of East and South Alabama, where visibility is very restricted.
RADAR CHECK: Most of Alabama is dry this afternoon with only a few isolated patches of light rain on radar. Temperatures are in the 60s and 70s, but cold air is just northwest of the state, where Memphis is in the 30s. The is mostly cloudy, and clouds will linger tonight.
Clouds are lingering in the Alabama sky today and there could be a few showers, but these will remain few and far between. There is a big swing in temperatures across the state today with 50s in the Tennessee Valley and 70s along the Gulf Coast.
RADAR CHECK: Rain is still falling early this morning across parts of Southeast Alabama, but that rain will end soon, and a decent part of the day ahead will be dry. Clouds will linger however, and we will see a big temperature spread with highs ranging from the 50s over North Alabama to the 70s near the coast.
Several waves of rainfall will impact Alabama through the week ahead.
Wet weather will be the story for the week ahead across. Much of the state will pick up 2-4 inches of rain over the next 7 days. Some spots could pick up more.
