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…

Warming Trend Along With Rain Late Week

A quiet and milder weather pattern is in place through early Friday. High pressure is now positioned to our east and that’s providing a southeasterly wind flow over the area. Temps are responding by warming and we’re expecting 70 plus degree warmth by Thursday afternoon. Overnight temps are coming up and we’re no longer feeling the impacts of the Arctic…

Much Warmer Days Ahead!

We’re on the path to much warmer days as the Arctic air mass moves away from the region. High pressure over us will continue to reveal lots of sunshine and that leads to warming. We’re in the 60s Wednesday and upper 60s to lower 70s late week. Southeasterly breezy will help warm us but it also begins to transport moisture…

We’re About To Thaw Out!

The big thaw is coming and we’re looking at 70 plus degree warmth later this week! The weather pattern over us will be shifting to more of a southerly wind flow and that will send temperatures climbing. In the meantime, we have a couple more cold nights but not near as cold as over the weekend. Mid to upper 20s…

Warmer Days Ahead This Week!

The Arctic air continues to linger over the deep south and we start the work week out cold.  We will feel low to mid 20s for lows Monday morning but temps do climb into the mid 40s by late afternoon.  This will be the beginning of the big thaw that will take place the remainder of the week.  High pressure…

Arctic Air Mass Lingers Through The Weekend

Layer up if you’re going to be outside. We encourage you to avoid extended periods out in this bitter cold air.  Mornings will continue to start out very cold and there’s very little warmth during the afternoon hours.  The sky will continue to reveal abundant sunshine and dry conditions.  Christmas Day  starts out in the mid to upper teens but…

A Significant Threat Of Wind And Cold Air Heading Our Way!

An Arctic air mass is getting closer and we begin to feel the impacts later tonight! This is setting up to be the coldest Christmas since 1989. Daytime highs will only manage lower to mid 30s while overnight temps plunge into the lower to mid teens. The Arctic front will enter our western counties around 9pm and Central Alabama around…
