Windy & Stormy Thursday!

A strong cold front will move into the area Thursday. We expect a line of rain/storms to be on the leading edge of the boundary and some of those storms could be strong to possibly severe. The main threats will be damaging winds up to 60 mph and a few tornadoes cannot be ruled out. The storms will enter west…

Severe Storm Threat Thursday

High pressure has set up just to our southeast and that’s allowing a southwesterly wind flow into the area. This will bring in warmer air along with some moisture overnight. Clouds will be on the increase and temps won’t drop as low as last night. I’m thinking mid to upper 40s are more likely for lows. Wednesday is setting up…

Warming For A Few Days Then Stormy Late Week

High pressure over the deep south providing us a fairly nice start to the work week. We expect this system to control our weather through at least Wednesday. This means mostly sunny and dry conditions prevail. Temps will start out chilly but warm nicely through the afternoon hours. We should see highs in the mid 60s Tuesday and lower to…

Showers Heading Our Way

High pressure over the deep south is proving us some really nice sky conditions for now. We expect this to continue into Saturday. The ridge of high pressure will slide to our east and that develops a southerly wind flow across the state. Temps respond and we’re approaching 70 degrees in spots Saturday afternoon. Along with the warmer temps comes…

Some Rain Activity Over The Weekend

We have settled into a rather quiet weather pattern and its sticking around for several days. Mornings will start a bit chilly with mid to upper 30s likely. Afternoon temperatures manage to warm into the 60s for highs. A frontal system will move into and through the area Sunday. We expect some showers but that about it. No severe storm…

A Quiet Weather Pattern For Now

National Weather Service Birmingham is confirming 4 tornadoes from the storm event yesterday into early Wednesday morning. More surveys will be conducted and this count could go up. The EF-1 that moved through east Montgomery caused damage to several structures and even flipped a car on its side. Fortunately, there weren’t any fatalities. Our weather for the remainder of the…

Strong To Severe Threat Continues Overnight!

Strong to severe storms will continue to be a threat through the evening and overnight hours. Some of the storms will be capable of damaging winds, quarter size hail, and tornadoes! Everyone will need to remain weather aware and know where you will shelter when warnings are issued. We expect additional rainfall and it could be rather heavy at times….

Severe Storm Threat Tuesday Into Wednesday!

Strong to severe storms will be possible Tuesday into early Wednesday. A cold front will advance eastward into the deep south overnight. Along and ahead of the front we expect storm activity to develop. Looks like the main threats will be a few tornadoes, damaging winds up to 70 mph, and quarter size hail. The storms enter west Alabama around…

Dry & Milder Days Ahead

Saturday starts out cloudy with a few showers lingering but we’re expecting sunshine and a nice warm up by late afternoon. Temps should reach the lower 70s for highs. Sunday wants to begin with clouds but clearing is likely late morning and temps warm back into the upper 60s to lower 70s under afternoon sunshine. It’s going to continue rather…

Rain On The Way

A very mild weather pattern has established itself over the area. High pressure positioned to our east is providing a southeasterly wind flow into the region. Temps are responding and we’re seeing temperatures well above the average for this time of the year. We expect highs in the 70s through the middle of next week. A frontal system will be…
