Frost Advisory Saturday Night, But An Eggcellent Easter

Saturday was another nice spring day across central and south Alabama. However, temperatures were still a bit below normal. That was especially true Saturday morning, when lows fell into the 30s, near or below freezing for a few locations.

Freeze Warning Friday Night; Warmer Easter Weekend

Good Friday was another cool April day across central and south Alabama. As expected, morning lows bottomed out in the 30s, and temperatures only recovered into the low and mid 60s during the afternoon.

A Few Severe Storms Possible Sunday

Sunday features another round of showers and storms. They should be in linear fashion, stretching southwest to northeast just in advance of a cold front. The storm prediction center maintains a marginal (level 1/5) risk for severe weather across our entire area. Damaging wind gusts up to 60 mph are the main hazard. However, this won’t be anything like the…

Very Warm Saturday, Then More Storms Sunday

Although showers and storms remain scattered about our area through Friday afternoon, they won’t be strong or severe like we saw Thursday. A stalling front that helped produce Thursday’s severe storms lifts north through our area as a warm front overnight. That sets up warm and muggy weather through Saturday. The sky remains mostly cloudy Friday night through Saturday. Isolated…
