Mild and mostly dry Christmas Eve, but keep an umbrella handy for scattered showers on Christmas Day. Watch for for an easterly wedge that could slow down our warmup by Friday.
Despite total sunshine today, temperatures will remain chilly, but a slow warmup is actually already underway that will culminate in 60s for most by late in the week. Expected showers Christmas Eve into Christmas morning.
While a good bit of you across the state of Alabama are seeing plenty of sunshine, we still have some stubborn clouds hanging around over the northern portions of Central Alabama and up into the Tennessee Valley.
You can satisfy your need for speed at Barber Motorsports Park and Museum or take your time on Tinglewood Trail. Leeds and Montevallo have plenty to offer.
THIS WEEKEND: We’ll start off this morning rather chilly as the cold front is now south of us and gradient winds will remain breezy at times through the rest of the morning, but will begin to calm down during the afternoon and evening. It will be mostly sunny today with highs only making it into […]
Sometimes all it takes is wanting a change of pace from your current job, a little encouragement from your spouse … and having a Greek grandmother.
COLDER: A new surge of cold air is pushing into North Alabama this afternoon with clouds and a chilly north wind. Temperatures are falling through the 40s over the northern third of the state this afternoon, but with a sunny sky we are seeing mostly 50s across the southern counties.
We are seeing sunshine in full supply with highs in the low to mid 50s this afternoon. Our winds are increasing out of the northwest at 10-20 mph, and those winds are driving in a reinforcing shot of cold air.
Thick fog has developed across parts of NE Alabama. Visibilities are down to 1/4 of mile or less for places like Scottsboro, Arab and Rainsville. Watch for areas of black ice due to freezing fog.
COLD: Some North Alabama communities are below the freezing mark early this morning; we note 30s all the way down to Mobile. The high will be in the 50s across most of the state this afternoon, but a secondary push of colder air will arrive later today, and temperatures could very well fall this afternoon over the northern third of the state with a brisk north wind.
Recent rains have helped the drought conditions at least a wee bit across the state! Still a long way to go and sadly rain chances over the next week not the greatest.
SUNNY, COOL DECEMBER AFTERNOON: Temperatures are mostly in the 50s across Alabama with a mostly sunny sky. Tonight will be clear with lows generally in the 30s; colder spots will see a freeze.
A cooler, drier air mass has returned to Alabama today. We have clouds at the writing of this forecast, but we will see a clearing sky this afternoon.
COOLER: Cooler, drier air is rolling into Alabama this morning. Morning clouds will give way to afternoon sunshine; highs will be in the 50s over the northern half of the state, with low to mid 60s for South Alabama.
