Nearing Ninety Degree Warmth Through Tuesday

Two days into the month of May now, and it definitely felt like it Saturday. Despite temperatures starting off in the upper 40s to low 50s around sunrise, abundant sunshine helped temperatures surge into the mid to upper 80s during the afternoon. Thanks to relatively dry air still in place, temperatures likely fall back into the mid and upper 50s…

A Few Strong To Severe Storms Possible Through Wednesday Evening

Showers and storms are back in the forecast today. It’s been mostly rain so far today, but there’s still a chance for a few stronger storms this afternoon and early evening. The Storm Prediction center removed any severe threat for areas west of I-65 at midday, and reduced the threat to marginal (level 1/5) along and east of I-65. The…

Warm And Dry Tuesday, But Severe Storms Possible Wednesday

It’s another nice day across central and south Alabama. There’s a little more moisture in the air compared to Monday already, but it’s still fairly low for now. Winds are back out of the south today, which will help to warm temperatures into the low and mid 80s this afternoon. Expect a partly cloudy sky this evening with temperatures in…

Quiet For Now, But Strong To Severe Storms Possible Wednesday

It was a cool April morning across central and south Alabama, with temperatures falling into the low to mid 40s for most locations. Abundant sunshine quickly warmed temperatures into the upper 60s to low 70s by midday. The rest of the day looks very pleasant with highs in the mid to upper 70s and an abundantly sunny sky. Temperatures cool…

Quite Cool Sunday Night; Very Nice Monday

One could argue that April 26th, not April 25th, was “the perfect date” for central and south Alabama. It wasn’t too hot and wasn’t too cold, with highs in the low to mid 70s. While we haven’t needed a light jacket yet, that probably changes tonight. This afternoon was also quite breezy, with a northwest wind of 15 to 25…

A Couple Cooler Nights And Afternoons Ahead

It was a pretty nice late April day across central and south Alabama. Temperatures warmed into the low to mid 80s in most locations this afternoon. Winds were rather breezy out of the southwest, but with a cold front pushing through this afternoon and evening, we’ll see winds shift to the west. Cooler air moves in behind the front overnight….

A Weekend Of Nice Weather Ahead

Similar to our last couple of severe weather events, today was once again the calm after the storm. Friday featured plenty of sunshine with upper 70 to low 80° warmth in our area. This evening looks clear and comfortable with temperatures sliding into the 60s. Clouds increase somewhat overnight as a storm system and attendant cold front slide toward our…

Pleasant Through Tuesday; Storms Return Late Wednesday/Thursday

Sunday was an active day of severe weather. It was a feeling of Deja vu Sunday, with a moderate risk for severe weather just one week after Easter Sunday’s moderate risk. Similar to that event, evening storms eventually formed into a line with widespread damaging winds, and didn’t exit southeast Alabama until after midnight. Straight line wind damage was widespread…

Severe Storms Likely Sunday

A cold front pushed through our area this morning. Showers and eventually clouds departed the area as it moved to our south. Winds turned to the northwest behind the front, bringing in slightly cooler air across our northern communities. Many locations still warmed into the 70s and even 80s this afternoon, however. Expect one more calm evening, with temperatures falling…

Temperatures rebounded quickly thanks to abundant sunshine this morning, with temperatures in the upper 60s to low 70s at midday. Expect a sunny sky for the rest of the day, with highs in the mid 70s for…
