Spring-Fever Anyone?
Welcome to February, but it’s not feeling like February…Temperatures are well above average for this time of year as mid to upper 70s are the forecast. That is 15-20 degrees above average for the first day of February in Alabama. Today will be another dry and very warm day, but there will be a few more clouds in the sky this afternoon.
REST OF THE WEEK: Look for slightly cooler temps tomorrow and Friday; both days will be mostly cloudy with a few isolated showers due to a stalled frontal boundary across the state. This surface front drifts slowly southward through Central Alabama. The high tomorrow will be close to 70, then dropping into the 60s Friday.
THE ALABAMA WEEKEND: For now, Saturday still looks dry and mild with a partly sunny sky and a high in the lower 60s. Then, on Sunday, we will mention a chance of rain during the day with an upper trough approaching. Best chance of rain will be over the northern half of the state, and amounts should be generally under 1/2 inch. Otherwise, Sunday will be mostly cloudy and mild with a high in the upper 60s.
NEXT WEEK: Looks like an active pattern, and getting the timing down far in advance will be difficult. For now and Tuesday look like mostly cloudy and mild days with only widely scattered showers; highs will be in the lower 70s. Then, a cold front with good upper support will bring rain and storms to the state late Wednesday, Wednesday night, and Thursday. There could be a few strong storms involved, but for now the overall severe weather threat looks low. Much colder air will follow the front by Friday with highs potentially dropping into the 40s with a brisk north wind.
Have a wonderful, warm Wednesday!
