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…

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…

Abundant sunshine returned this morning after a line of strong to severe storms exited our area late last night. The line of storms certainly left a mark, with strong straight-line winds leading to power outages and downed trees. Fortunately, our area was spared from the significant tornado threat that materialized in south-central Mississippi late Sunday afternoon. The storms still packed…
