Some Nice Fall Weather Ahead

We’re on the backside of a cold front and you’re going to notice much cooler air behind it. The clouds continue to move out and into Georgia. Clear skies and less wind will allow temps to fall off into the lower 50s for lows. High pressure over the area will provide us a several days of sunny and dry conditions….

Rain Then Turning Much Cooler!

A true fall cold front will makes its way through our area overnight. Showers and storms move along and ahead of this boundary through the evening hours. Clouds and light rain linger behind the front Tuesday. This will have an impact on temps and highs may only manage mid to upper 60s. We basically go from upper 80s and lower…

Weekend Sunshine Ahead

Improving weather conditions are ahead for the weekend! Clouds linger into the first half of Saturday but the afternoon is looking really nice. Temps will respond with highs back in the low to mid 80s. Most of Sunday is looking good but a disturbance to our south could push some showers into the area by the late afternoon. We still…

Warmer And Drier Days Ahead

Remnants of Beta are moving over our state this tonight. Heaviest rainfall is passing well north of us over north Alabama. Closer to home, we have a narrow line of rain/wind moving through the area. We don’t expect much more than that overnight. Temps will drop into the mid to upper 60s under mostly cloudy skies. During Friday, clouds may…

Showers & Storms Thursday

Remnants of Beta will be making a run at us Thursday. The system will be passing to our north but the circulation around it will draw deeper moisture into the area. As a result, we expect showers and storms to move through here. Some of the storms could be strong and possibly severe. The main threats will be damaging winds…

Rain Returning Late Week

A mostly cloudy and cool weather pattern has a grip on our area. The setup is high pressure to the east and T.D. Beta to our west. The high is sending a cool/dry easterly wind flow underneath a moist southwesterly wind flow aloft. Temps are running well below the average highs for this time of the year. We should be…

Warming & Wet Late Week

We head into the work week with high pressure to our east and T.S. Beta to our west. Both are having an impact on our weather. The ridge of high pressure is maintaining a dry NE flow over the area. Mean while, the circulation around beta and a SW flow aloft is bringing clouds over us. Cooler temps underneath this…

Impacts From Beta Late Week

Gulf moisture is streaming into our southern areas while high pressure keeps it cool and dry over our northern counties. T. S. Beta is circulating moisture into southern Alabama. This is leading to clouds with light rain at times. Mean while, high pressure to our east is providing a drier northeasterly flow and keeping partly cloudy and cool conditions across…

Chance Of Showers Over The Weekend

Sally has moved on but the circulation on the backside of the tropical system is keeping clouds over our area. These will continue to thin out with time. Overnight is looking fairly mild under a mostly cloudy sky. Temps will fall off into the upper 60s. We expect a partly sunny sky with only a slight chance of a shower…

Sally Continues To Weaken But Heavy Rain Lingers

Torrential rain and tropical-storm-force winds are likely this evening into early Thursday for south central and eastern Alabama. Sally was downgraded to a tropical storm with winds near 60 mph. It’s picked up a little speed and moving northeast at only 7 miles per hour. The forward speed should continue to increase tonight. Eventually, Sally moves into east-central Alabama Thursday…
