Is It Early May? Very Nice Across Central Alabama At Midday
Conditions Across Central Alabama At 1:10 PM
Skies are partly to mostly cloudy out there, but there is enough breaks in between those clouds to allow for a little sunshine to make it to the surface. Temperatures are running from the mid-70s to the lower 80s across the area, with Birmingham sitting at 81 degrees, easily breaking the old record of 78 degrees set back in 1986. We’ll have to wait a little later this evening before we get the official word from NWS Birmingham, but it looks like my record-breaker animated GIF will be seen again on the blog today. Stay tuned!
There are a few showers showing up over the southeastern parts of the area, mainly over Pike and Bullock counties. These showers are mainly moving to the north and we haven’t seen any lightning associated with these so far.
For The Remainder Of Your Tuesday
We’ll continue to have partly cloudy skies across the area throughout the rest of the afternoon and into the early evening hours across the area, with a very small risk of a few showers over the eastern half of the area. Highs are expected to reach the upper 70s to the mid-80s, and a few record highs may fall once again. For tonight, skies will continue to be partly to mostly cloudy across the area. We do have a small risk for a few scattered showers, but the higher possibilities will be in the eastern half of the area. With that being said, the highest risk is only around 30%. Overnight lows will be in the mid to upper 60s.
Wednesday’s Weather
The latest NAM model run is keeping much of Central Alabama dry throughout the daytime and into the early evening hours on Wednesday, but there is still a very small chance of a stray shower or two over mainly the western half of the area. Afternoon highs will once again be pushing the record territory, making it into the upper 70s to the lower 80s under mostly cloudy skies. Those highs could creep a little higher if there are any larger breaks in the clouds, especially in the afternoon hours. For Wednesday night, skies will continue to be mostly cloudy with a very small risk of a few showers, mainly over the western and northwestern parts of the area. Lows will only dip down into the lower to mid-60s.
