The weather is much improved today across central and south Alabama. The early week tropical troubles are part of the past after a cold front pushed through the area Wednesday afternoon. Today is just the start of an extended stretch of mostly sunny and mainly dry weather with low humidity. This afternoon looks sunny and warm with highs in the…
Cristobal’s center of circulation is in far northern Louisiana at midday. However, impacts reach well east of the system. A couple convective feeder bands are moving south to north through Alabama, one in the west along U.S. 43, and another along I-65. Expect these bands to produce locally heavy rain throughout the day, and possibly brief tornadoes. The storm prediction…
There wasn’t much sunshine in our area Sunday, with widespread clouds due to Cristobal filling the sky. Showers and storms were limited in coverage through late this afternoon. However, showers and a few storms associated with Cristobal’s circulation increase in coverage this evening, especially in southwest Alabama. There’s a non-zero threat for a brief spin-up tornado, but the threat is…
It was a mostly cloudy but also warm day across central and south Alabama, with high temperatures in the 80s. Scattered showers and storms, associated with the outer banding features of Cristobal, continue east to west across our area early this evening. The heavier pockets of rain and lightning wind down with loss of daytime heating, but showers remain possible…
It was a very hot and humid day across central and south Alabama. Temperatures peaked in the low to mid 90s for most locations. Fortunately, heat-busting showers and storms developed this afternoon. Plenty of those are still around this evening, and they probably won’t completely come to an end until midnight. The rest of our night looks partly cloudy and…
It’s only early June, but it felt like a routine summer day. Temperatures rose into the upper 80s and low 90s this afternoon, with a relatively isolated coverage of afternoon showers and storms. Expect some of these these showers and storms to continue this evening, but our area looks mainly rain-free by midnight. Expect a warm and muggy night with…
June began on a mild note, with morning lows in the low to mid 60s. Sunshine was abundant early, but its more of a sun/cloud mix at midday. Winds are more easterly today, and could be quite breezy at times, sustained at 10 to 15 mph. There’s a chance for a stray shower this afternoon with daytime heating. However, the…
It was a nice final day of May across central and south Alabama. Temperatures rose into the mid and upper 80s this afternoon, after morning lows fell to the upper 50s to low and mid 60s. Sunshine was abundant, and humidity was low with heat index temperatures actually cooler than air temperature readings at times during the afternoon. This evening…
It was a mainly dry and hot day with mostly fair-weather clouds in the sky. High temperatures soared into the lower 90s in many locations, despite a cold front pushing through the state today. However, with our winds now out of the north, we’ll begin feeling less-humid air tonight. Expect a clearing sky with abundant sunshine to greet us after…
Another warm and muggy start to our day with a few showers across southwest Alabama. Isolated showers are possible during the morning, but a higher coverage of rain hold off until the afternoon. Routine daytime showers and storms scatter the Alabama sky today. Severe weather isn’t expected, but keep in mind that summer-pattern storms can still produce heavy rain and…
