Brief Cool Down!

It’s Groundhog Day! Phil saw is shadow, suggesting six more weeks of winter. We think the weather around here will remain fairly normal. Only twenty-six more days until meteorological spring. In the mean time, a cold front is working its way through the region tonight. We could see a few passing showers but nothing heavy with this round. You notice…

More 70+ degree warmth ahead

A very mild weather pattern remains in place across our region. We expect this to continue right through the weekend into early next week. No bitter cold air is in sight just yet. Temps top out in the 60s and 70s through next Wednesday. Moisture will be on the increase and we will need to introduce the chance of a…

A Nice Warm Up!

We are looking at a quiet week of weather around here. Mainly dry and a little warmer at least through mid week. Temps will climb into the lower 70s Tuesday and Wednesday. There is a slight chance of a passing shower Thursday & Friday but looks like most spots stay dry. High temps will remain fairly mild with mid to…

Winter Returns!

Winter has returned and it will stick around until further notice. High pressure will slide back over the area. This will help keep the sky mostly clear and the wind light. Temperatures will be colder than what we have experienced lately. Morning lows in the lower to mid 30s with daytime highs in the 50s. A gradual warm up will…

A Few Showers Overnight

A cold front is moving into the area tonight. Our sky clouds up and we get a few passing showers. We don’t expect anything heavy with rainfall amounts under a half an inch.  The frontal boundary clears the region and the sky starts clearing out Thursday morning. Gusty northwesterly winds will usher in much cooler air throughout the day. Clear…

Brief Round Of Rain Ahead

We have a nice little warm up through midweek but after that it’s back to winter. A cold front will be advancing toward us with some rain along it but it doesn’t arrive until Wednesday night. This will allow time for temps to warm nicely throughout the day. Highs will top out in the mid 70s in spots. The frontal…

Turning Cold Again

Our weather will settle down for several days and eventually turn much colder. Most of the week stays dry with the exception being Wednesday night into early Thursday. A frontal boundary moving through may produce a few showers but we don’t see anything other than that. Clear and dry conditions return and stick around through the weekend. Colder air will…

Stormy Weekend Ahead

Multiple rounds of severe storms will move through our area over the weekend. All modes of severe storms will be possible including tornadoes, damaging straight line winds, hail, frequent lightning, and very heavy rain.  Round one moves into west Alabama around 3am Saturday and continues eastward across the state.  The back edge of the storms should be departing our eastern…

Strong to severe storm threat!

We are entering into an active weather pattern that will linger through the weekend.   You can expect a fairly mild Friday with partly sunny skies and temps back in the mid to upper 70s. Saturday morning starts off with another round of storms.  Some of these storms will be capable of damaging winds, tornadoes, hail, and heavy rain. That…
