STRONG STORMS ON THE WAY: The weather becomes very active later today and overnight across Alabama as a dynamic storm system will bring an organized band of showers and thunderstorms into Alabama. PLACEMENT: First off, all of Alabama is included in a risk of severe weather for this event, so don’t focus too much on […]
ACTIVE WEATHER AHEAD: A dynamic weather system will bring showers and thunderstorms into Alabama later today and tonight. SPC maintains an “enhanced risk” (level 3/5) of severe thunderstorms for about the northern third of the state (from Birmingham north), with a “slight risk” (level 2/5) down to the Gulf Coast.
A band of showers and thunderstorms will push into Alabama late tonight. These storms will be strong and there could be a few severe storms, but the line of storms will be weakening as the push into and through the state.
RADAR CHECK: A band of rain and strong thunderstorms continues to push into North and West Alabama early this morning. The storms have been generally weakening, but a tornado warning was issued for parts of Lamar County between 5 and 6 a.m.
Rain is ongoing across Alabama today, and heavier rain and storms are increasing in coverage and will continue to do so through the afternoon, evening, and overnight hours. Some strong and severe storms are possible, but flooding will be the main concern with this event the next 24 hours.
A flood watch is in effect as rain amounts of 1-3 inches are likely; isolated totals to 4 inches are possible with our next storm system Friday, Friday night, and into Saturday.
ACTIVE DAY AHEAD: A dynamic weather system will bring windy and wet weather to Alabama today. SPC maintains an “enhanced risk” (level 3/5) of severe thunderstorms for parts of Northwest and West Alabama… the rest of the state is in a “slight risk” (level 2/5).
VERY PLEASANT WINTER DAY: Temperatures are in the 60s across Alabama this afternoon with a partly to mostly sunny sky. Clouds will increase tonight ahead of an approaching storm system.
THIS AFTERNOON: It is a mild November afternoon across Alabama with a mix of sun and clouds; temperatures have reached the low 70s in many areas. Clouds will increase over the next few hours ahead of a significant weather system approaching from the west.
ACTIVE WEATHER AHEAD: We have a few spotty showers on radar early this morning across Alabama; the air is cool and stable with temperatures in the 40s and 50s at daybreak. The sky will be generally cloudy today with a high at or over 70 degrees in many locations this afternoon. Tonight an organized batch of rain and thunderstorms will roll into the state tonight ahead of a dynamic storm system.
RADAR CHECK: Most of Alabama is rain-free at mid afternoon… with a mix of sun and clouds temperatures are in the 88-92 degree range. Again Mobile is the exception… they are at 97 degrees as I write this. We still have a chance of strong thunderstorms between now and around 10:00 p.m., but SPC has trimmed back the severe weather risk areas on their midday update.
ACTIVE STORMS LATER TODAY: We have a few showers over Northeast Alabama early this morning, but the weather is dry elsewhere with temperatures in the 68-73 degree range at daybreak. A disturbance will bring potential for active thunderstorms in here later today; SPC has defined a “slight risk” (level 2/5) of severe thunderstorms for areas north of a line from Reform to Hanceville to Scottsboro.
RADAR CHECK: Scattered showers and storms continue to develop across Alabama this afternoon; they are most numerous over the southeast counties of the state. Storms are producing heavy rain and lots of lightning as they move slowly northward. We will maintain the chance of a few showers and storms tonight in the very humid air across Alabama.
OCEAN OF HUMIDITY: Most of Alabama is dry early this morning, but we expect showers and storms to form again later today in the very humid air over Alabama. The chance of any one spot getting wet today is 40/50 percent, and like yesterday the storms will be very efficient rain producers. The sky will be occasionally cloudy, and the high will be in the mid to upper 80s over the northern counties, with low 90s to the south.
