A weak cold front is entering northwest Alabama with a high pressure ridge sliding southward behind it. This front will push through most of the state by this evening before stalling across south Alabama. Expect a few isolated showers mainly east of I-65/south of I-85 this afternoon. Tonight should be rain free and partly cloudy with lows in the low…
The showers and storms should quickly come to an end after sunset, with a partly cloudy sky the rest of the night. Low temperatures settle back to around 70 by early Wednesday morning. Wednesday through Friday look like drier days for central and south Alabama. A ridge of high pressure will work in from the northwest, and the reinforcing less-humid…
The severe weather over the weekend is gone, and we can now look forward to a quieter week of weather. Winds are out of the north to northwest today, providing slightly drier air. Looks like we’ll keep that going for much of this week. With a pesky upper level low around, we can expect partly to mostly cloudy skies this…
An unusually strong storm system for this time of the year could cause some severe weather across central and south Alabama overnight through midday Saturday. The main severe weather risk looks to be straight line winds above 60 mph. Storms could enter our north counties, or a Marion to Alexander City line, by about midnight. It’s most likely going to…
Scattered storms fill the sky across parts of the central Alabama sky this afternoon. These storms are near stationary, but outflow boundaries are moving westward and firing up new storms to the south and west. If you haven’t seen rain yet, there’s a decent chance you still could through this evening. Most showers and storms come to and end between…
The low clouds across part of the area this morning are finally breaking up. The heat is on though now, with highs set to top out in the low 90s this afternoon. A cold front is about halfway through the state, but there isn’t a noticeable difference on the other side. Dew points are still in the mid 70s to…
It was another typical summer afternoon across central and south Alabama with highs in the low to mid 90s. As per usual, most of the rain and thunderstorms come to an end by 10PM this evening with temperatures eventually settling back into the mid 70s. Rain still looks likely Monday and Tuesday afternoon. High temperatures both days top out in…
Hot and soupy best describes the airmass across central and south Alabama. Plenty of fuel will be available for storms for the foreseeable future. You can expect most of the thunderstorms to come to and end by 10 or so this evening. We’ll settle back to a partly cloudy and warm night with lows in the mid 70s. Sunday morning…
After a week of mainly just isolated to non-existent afternoon showers and storms, we’re now entering a stretch of a more unsettled pattern. A heat advisory is in effect for a good chunk of central Alabama through 7PM. Heat index temperatures will be in the low to mid 100s through early this evening. A few isolated showers and storms cool…
We’re off to another very hot day for the southern half of the state. Most spots reach the mid 90s this afternoon, and humidity is a bit higher today. That means afternoon heat index temperatures near 105°. Isolated shower and thunderstorms are already firing up this afternoon, so for some there will be a bit of heat relief. However, most…
