Severe Weather Threat Over; More Rain and Storms This Evening

The severe weather threat is now over for central and south Alabama, but some rain currently continues across the southeast. There’s also an additional line of rain with some embedded thunder and lightning tracking into west Alabama ahead of the main cold front. That line of storms will trek through our viewing area this evening as the cold front pushes…

Strong To Severe Storms Tonight And Sunday

The showers and storms are benign so far this afternoon, but there is a threat for a few strong to severe storms, and also a brief tornado or two overnight. It’s a good idea to have a way to receive weather alerts tonight, and a great one is our weather app. If you don’t already have it, you can find…

Showers Friday; Rain and Storms This Weekend

Clouds are spreading north into central Alabama this morning, and a few showers are falling south of I-85. The clouds and showers will lift north this afternoon and evening. Shower activity will remain scattered in nature through this afternoon, but an uptick in coverage is expected later on tonight and through the weekend. Some thunderstorms will also be embedded within…

Sunny & Dry Today; Plenty of Rain Ahead

After a chilly start to the morning, we’re heading for a much warmer afternoon. Highs today will reach the low 60s, and the sunshine should make for a pleasant afternoon. It will be a little chilly again tonight, with lows dropping to near 40 degrees. Clouds will be on the increase early tomorrow morning and through Friday. Some showers will…

Severe Threat Winds Down; A Wet and Mild Pattern Ahead

The strongest thunderstorms are now pushing out of southeast Alabama, and our severe weather threat is winding down. We still will have light to moderate rain through the rest of the afternoon. A cold front will swing through the area this afternoon, providing cooler temperatures and eventually a clearing sky tonight and tomorrow. Lows will range from the mid 30s…

A Cool Sunday Night and Dry, Sunny Monday

The rain is long gone and many locations are back to a sunny sky, with only areas north of I-85/east of I-65 still dealing with some clouds. The sky clears tonight as a reinforcing cold front pushes through central and south Alabama. Expect a cooler night with lows ranging from 35 degrees north to near 40 south. Monday looks like…

Rain Tonight And Sunday

It was a tale of two halves for Saturday, with sun during the morning but a layer of clouds that rolled in for the afternoon. Some light echoes are indicated on radar this evening, but it’s unlikely any of those are reaching the surface due to some very dry air in the lower levels. That will eventually be overcome later…

A Cold Friday Night Ahead; Rain This Weekend

We’ll stay mostly sunny and dry Friday afternoon with highs in the low 50s. Friday night will be cold with lows falling to the mid and upper 20s, so it will be a little chilly early Saturday morning (and if you’re heading out to the Mardi Gras parade in Millbrook). Saturday afternoon will be slightly warmer with highs in the…

Cloudy But Warm Today; Showers Tonight

Temperatures are warming quickly this morning thanks to a south wind and some breaks in the clouds. Rain has held off for the most part so far, but some scattered showers will be possible through this afternoon. High temperatures will warm to near 70 for some, and top out in the mid 60s elsewhere. The best chance for rain will…

Sunny and Warmer Wednesday; Some Rain Thursday

Low temperatures will range from near 40 to around 45 degrees. Some isolated showers are possible early Thursday morning, but better chances for rain arrive during the evening, ahead of a…
