RADAR CHECK: Just a few scattered showers are in progress this afternoon across the great state of Alabama… The showers are moving northwest, and we will maintain the risk of some scattered light rain tonight. Temperatures this afternoon are in the 60s. THE ALABAMA WEEKEND: Clouds will persist tomorrow morning, and there could be a […]
RADAR CHECK: Rain has ended across Northwest Alabama early this morning; the heavier storms are now south and east of Montgomery. A flash flood watch continues for Southeast Alabama, where an additional 1-2 inches of rain is likely. But, for North/Central Alabama, we will forecast a clearing sky later today as drier air works in […]
RADAR CHECK: The rain has ended over Northwest Alabama early this morning, but continues from I-59 south and east… This has been a very good soaking for North/Central Alabama, with most communities seeing at least two inches of rain. Some places across Northeast Alabama report storm totals over three inches. The rain will continue to […]
RADAR CHECK: Rain continues to fall over East Alabama this afternoon, but it has ended over the western half of the state. A tornado watch remains in effect for the far southeast corner of Alabama for a while longer… Rain amounts of 2 inches have been common statewide today with some minor flooding issues reported. […]
THIS AFTERNOON: We do have some breaks in the overcast this afternoon across the great state of Alabama… There are a few isolated showers over the northern half of the state, but most places are dry with temperatures in the low to mid 70s. TONIGHT: A cold front will pass through early tomorrow, and will […]
IMPROVING WEATHER: After a cloudy, cool, damp weekend, the upper low responsible for the gloomy weather is moving away from us. We project a mix of sun and clouds today, with only a very small risk of any one spot seeing a shower over East Alabama. The high this afternoon will be in the 75-78 […]
STILL BELOW 90: The last time the high at Birmingham was 90 degrees or higher was back on August 15… and with a projected high today in the mid 80s, it should be the 16th consecutive day under 90 degrees. A remarkable run for August in Alabama. Yesterday’s high in Birmingham was only 74 degrees… […]
ON THE MAPS: At mid-afternoon a cold front is lined up from near Athens to Vernon… you can pick it out by the northern edge of the cumulus field across Alabama… A few scattered storms have formed ahead of the front, best chance of them this evening will be over the southern half of the […]
COLD FRONT ON THE WAY: We will mention the risk of a few widely scattered showers and thunderstorms along that front this afternoon, but the air over Alabama is relatively dry and stable for August, so the showers should be pretty widely spaced, and many communities will be dry today. The high this afternoon will […]
RADAR CHECK: As expected, the most widespread and heavier storms across Alabama this afternoon are over the southern half of the state, but a few stray, isolated showers are over Northeast Alabama… The isolated North Alabama showers will end very soon, and tonight will be mostly clear as the dry air takes over. TOMORROW/THURSDAY: No […]
ON THE MAPS: The upper short wave that brought rather widespread rain and storms to Alabama yesterday is moving east, and today the higher coverage of showers and storms will come over the southern half of the state. Still, a few scattered storms are possible as far north as I-20. And, where storms form this […]
DRIER AIR MOVING INTO NORTH ALABAMA: As expected, dew points are falling across the northern part of Alabama this afternoon as drier air moves into the state. Scattered showers and thunderstorms have formed, but they are mostly south of I-20 (Tuscaloosa to Birmingham to Anniston). Showers and storms across Central and South Alabama will settle […]
RADAR CHECK: As expected, there just isn’t much on radar this afternoon thanks to an upper air high building across the Deep South. There are basically two showers in progress over the northern half of the state at 3:15 this afternoon… And, for the first time since June 29, Birmingham has reached 90 degrees this […]
HOTTER, DRIER DAYS: A fairly typical summer weather pattern is setting up across the Deep South this week thanks to a developing upper ridge. The high resolution HRRR model does show a few showers across North/Central Alabama this afternoon, but they will be very widely spaced. A decent chance we reach 90 degrees today for […]
