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.
Good morning, friends! We’re off to a frosty start this Saturday across Alabama, so grab that jacket and maybe even some gloves if you’re heading out early.
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.
WINDY, COOL AFTERNOON: Temperatures are in the 50s and 60s across Alabama with a brisk north wind; wind gusts at mid-afternoon include 37 mph at Montgomery, 32 mph at Birmingham, 30 mph at Decatur, and 31 mph at Muscle Shoals, Selma, Prattville, and Greenville.
COOL DAYS, COLD NIGHTS: No rain for Alabama through Sunday, but temperatures will be below average for late November as the coldest air so far season continues to drop into the Deep South.
DRY DAYS: The sky is mostly sunny across Alabama this afternoon with a cool north breeze. Tonight will be clear and colder with a low in 36-44 degree range.
CLEARING: We have leftover clouds over parts of Alabama this morning along with some scattered drizzle and patches of dense fog. Expect a clearing sky today as dry air punches in from the west.
RADAR CHECK: Rain is widespread across Southeast Alabama this afternoon… large areas of rain are also over some of the northern and central counties. Temperatures are mostly in the 60s.
RADAR CHECK: We have widespread rain and a few thunderstorms across Alabama this morning. Look for occasional rain through the day; amounts around 2 inches are likely over South Alabama… places like Birmingham, Tuscaloosa, and Anniston can expect around one inch, and totals will be closer to 1/2 inch over the Tennessee Valley of North Alabama.
BIG CHANGES AHEAD: Temperatures are mostly in the 70s across Alabama this afternoon with a partly sunny sky. Clouds will increase tonight ahead of an approaching storm system, and rain could reach the western counties after midnight.
STILL DRY TODAY: With a partly sunny sky temperatures will rise well into the 70s across Alabama today, but clouds will increase by late afternoon and tonight as a story system approaches.
Get ready for a picture-perfect fall weekend with sunshine, cool mornings, and comfortable afternoons—but changes are on the horizon as rain and cooler air make their way into the forecast next week!
BLUE SKY: We have a cloudless sky across Alabama this afternoon with temperatures in the 60s over the northern counties of the state, and low 70s over South Alabama. Tonight will be clear and cool with lows mostly in the 40s, but colder pockets across North Alabama will dip into the 30s.
