With a sunny sky temperatures will rise into the 67-73 degree range across Alabama this afternoon.

STORMS RETURN: While most of the day tomorrow will be dry with a high in the 70s, a cold front will bring a few showers and storms to the state late in the day and tomorrow evening. SPC has defined a “slight risk” (level 2/5) of severe thunderstorms for North Alabama…

This is a low end severe weather threat as wind fields will be weak, but a few storms could produce small hail and gusty winds tomorrow evening over the northern half of the state.

Friday will be cooler with highs in the 60s. A passing upper trough could bring a few showers to the northern third of the state during the afternoon and evening hours, but rain amounts should be light.

THE ALABAMA WEEKEND: Expect a sun filled sky over the weekend… the high Saturday will be in the 60s, followed by 70s Sunday. Mornings will be cool with lows in the low to mid 40s; some colder spots over North Alabama could reach the upper 30s.

The weather next week looks relatively tame; we will mention the chance of a few showers Tuesday and Friday, but much of the week will be dry with seasonal temperatures. See the video briefing for maps, graphics, and more details.

ON THIS DATE IN 1947: An estimated F5 tornado struck Woodward, Oklahoma during the late evening killing 95 persons and causing six million dollars damage. The tornado, one to two miles in width, and traveling at a speed of 50 mph, killed a total of 167 persons along its 221-mile path from Texas into Kansas.

Look for the next video briefing here by 3:00 this afternoon… enjoy the day!
