Continued Warm With Rain On The Way

Definitely feeling a little bit like spring around here this week. After last week, it’s easy to catch spring fever but don’t for one minute think old man winter is done with us.  There will be more air ahead but just not in the next 8 to 10 days. High pressure continues to hover over the area.   The high will…

A Little Spring-Like Warmth Ahead

The air mass over us is going to be a bit milder this week!  The Arctic air has retreated and we’re expecting a few spot to actually snag the 70 degree mark later in the week.  It’s the late January thaw and it couldn’t come at a better time. High pressure will set up over the deep south for most…

Late January Thaw Ahead This Week

We begin the slow warm up this weekend.  We expect some sunshine and temps…

The Cold Air Lingers!

The very cold air mass across the deep south continues in place for now.  More cold nights with temps down into the lower 20s are ahead.  Daytime temps will gradually climb and eventually manage to reach the 60s early next week. In the meantime, we’re back down into the lower to mid 20s tonight.  Any areas with snow melt will…

Icy Conditions Still A Threat!

The melting process started Wednesday but with below freezing air remaining, there will be icy conditions for some overnight into Thursday morning. The main threat for black ice will be over areas of South Alabama that received significant snowfall.  Some of that snow melted today but a lot of it will refreeze causing the dangerous travel conditions again.   We’re expecting…

Clearing And Bitter Cold Overnight

We’re in the midst of a winter storm and the impacts are significant across our central and southern counties.  Snowfall has already reached 3 to 7 inches around Covington County. Areas along and just north of the 80/85 corridor have seen around an inch.   The snowfall will taper off and end during the late evening but what has fallen isn’t…
