Very Pleasant Thursday Afternoon; Showers And Storms Friday

Is it May 7th or March 7th? Judging by this morning’s low temperatures, March 7th would be the better guess. Temperatures bottomed out in the low to mid 40s for most around sunrise this morning. Montgomery’s low of 43° tied the record low temperature for today’s date, most recently set in 1944. Selma fell all the way to 39° this…

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.

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…
