COLD: The sky is sunny across Alabama this afternoon; mid-afternoon temperatures range from 46 at Huntsville to 62 at Mobile. Some clouds will move into the northern counties this evening, and a few sprinkles or flurries are possible across the Tennessee Valley tonight. But understand the air is very dry and most places will see no precipitation at all.
COLD: A new shot of cold, dry air will drop into Alabama today, keeping temperatures well below average. Look for a high in the 47-52 degree range over the northern counties, with mid 50s to the south.
COLD: With a sunny sky, temperatures are in the 40s over North Alabama this afternoon, with 50s to the south. A freeze is likely tonight all the way down to I-10. We expect 20s for North Alabama, and a low in the 28-32 degree range over the southern half of the state.
RADAR CHECK: Some scattered light rain continues early this morning over the southern half of Alabama, where temperatures are in the 40s. The weather is dry over the northern counties with mostly 30s being reported.
COLDER AIR DROPPING SOUTHWARD: Clouds linger across much of Alabama this afternoon, but the rain is gone and we will be dry for the next 5-6 days. Temperatures this afternoon range from the 40s across the Tennessee Valley, to the 60s across the southern counties of the state.
RADAR CHECK: A line of showers and thunderstorms is pushing into South Alabama early this Thanksgiving morning ahead of a cold front. The storms were well behaved overnight, remaining below severe limits. There is a “marginal risk” (level 1/5) for South Alabama this morning, but the overall threat remains very low.
SUN AND CLOUDS: We have a wide range of temperatures across Alabama this afternoon due to a rather erratic cloud cover across the state. Where clouds are in place, temperatures are in the 50s, but where the sun is shining readings are in the 65-70 degree range.
DRY DAY AHEAD: Temperatures are in the 30s and 40s across Alabama early this morning; look for a high in the 60s today with a partly sunny sky. Clouds will begin to increase this afternoon ahead of a cold front, and showers will develop tonight.
CLEARING: The sky is sunny over the northern half of the state this afternoon; clouds over South Alabama will dissipate this evening as dry air takes over. Tonight will be fair with a low in the 37-43 degree range.
RADAR CHECK: Rain is still falling early this morning across parts of Southeast Alabama; that rain will end soon and we expect a clearing sky as cooler, drier air moves into the state. Temperatures will hover around 60 degrees for the northern counties, with low to mid 60s to the south.
MILD NOVEMBER AFTERNOON: Temperatures are in the 70s across most of Alabama this afternoon with a partly sunny sky. Tonight clouds will thicken ahead of an approaching cold front. The front will bring showers to Alabama tonight and very early tomorrow morning…there might be a rumble of thunder but there is no risk of severe storms.
WARMEST DAY OF THE WEEK: We project a high in the 70-75 degree range across Alabama today; it will be the warmest day of the week by far. Expect a partly sunny sky, but clouds will increase late in the day ahead of an approaching cold front.
COOL, BREEZY AFTERNOON: Temperatures are in the 50s across most of Alabama this afternoon with a sunny sky and gusty northwest wind.
COLD: Temperatures are in the 30s across most of Alabama early this morning with a clear sky. Most places are reporting a northwest wind of 5-10 mph; this means little frost, and it has also kept temperatures generally above freezing. Today will be sunny with a high in the 50s.
