Many Alabama communities will exceed 80 degrees again today with a mix of sun and clouds under a strong upper ridge, the same ridge that is keeping the hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico far to the south. A few spotty showers are possible this afternoon, mainly over the southern half of the state.
RADAR CHECK: Most of Alabama is rain-free this afternoon; we note just a few showers around Mobile Bay. With a mix of sun and clouds temperatures are in the upper 70s and low 80s. Huntsville reached 84 degrees at 2p CT… that is a new record high for November 7 (the old record was 82 set last in 2023).
WARM NOVEMBER DAYS: Expect a high in the 78-82 degree range across Alabama today and tomorrow, about ten degrees above average for early November. We will forecast a mix of sun and clouds both days with just a few isolated showers around; chance of any one spot seeing rain is 20-25 percent.
