A Rainy Period Ahead

We’re on the backside of a cold front and that’s allowing colder air to gradually spill into the state tonight. The air behind the front is also dry and we expect a clear sky along with chilly overnight temps. Looks like upper 30s to lower 40s are likely for morning lows. We go into Friday with clouds working back into…

Brief Period Of Rain/Storms Overnight

We still have a line of rain and storms moving through the area overnight into Thursday morning but the system is expected to be in a weakening state. We do expect a brief period of heavy rain, gusty winds, and lighting but that’s about it. The upper level support for this system to thrive isn’t in place over our area….

Severe Storm Threat Wednesday Night Into Thursday Morning!

Another cold front will make a run at the state late Wednesday into Thursday. Scattered showers and a few storms are possible well out ahead of the front Wednesday but the main storm event will hold off until the overnight hours into Thursday morning. We expect a line of storms to develop along the boundary and push eastward. The storm…

Another Severe Storm Threat This Week!

We have another storm threat later this week. Strong to severe storms are possible Thursday. A strong cold front will head into the deep south and push a line of strong to severe storms ahead of it. All modes of severe storms will be possible and that includes; brief tornadoes, damaging winds, and hail. In the meantime, we have a…

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…
