Heavy Rain Moves North, Unseasonably Warm
FLOODING THREAT: Some locations across Central and Southeast Alabama have received 5-10 inches over the last few days. Many creeks and rivers are high and will likely be spilling out of their banks. We urge you to use extreme caution when traveling on area roadways. If you see water covering the road, turn around and find an alternate route.
CHRISTMAS DAY AND WEEKEND: The threat of a few showers and storms will persist but not the steady rain like we have seen lately. Look for a sun/cloud mix and unseasonably warm. Highs will be in the upper 70s to lower 80s. Record high temps will be possible right through the weekend.
MORE STORMS NEXT WEEK: Another storm system will approach the Southeast by Monday. Rain chances increase Sunday night and will continue to increase Monday. Scattered showers and storms look likely. Too early to tell any specifics with this system, but it looks to be a dynamic storm system associated with a cold front and we may have to deal with the threat of severe weather once again across the state. A lot uncertainties with this system, so we will be updating and keeping you informed as we head through the weekend.
HEADING TOWARD NEW YEARS DAY: It’s looking more like a frontal boundary will stall across the region and this will keep us in a cloudy, cooler, and wet pattern Wednesday through Friday. Temperatures will drop into the 50s for highs while overnight lows hover in the 40s. Another frontal boundary heads eastward and sweeps the rainy conditions out and ushers in much colder air just in time for next weekend.
