Strong To Severe Storms Likely Tuesday Into Wednesday!

We’re in the midst of the fall severe storm season and it’s looking like tomorrow afternoon into Wednesday will be rather active with storms! The main threats will be a few tornadoes, damaging winds up to 60mph, and quarter size hail. A few storms enter west Alabama around 4pm Tuesday and advance eastward. These storms could be strong maybe severe…

Trending Warmer And Eventually Wet

A very active southern branch of the jet stream is helping to keep clouds and moisture streaming across our area. This could lead to a shower or two this evening into the overnight hours. The clouds will also act as a blanket and slow the cooling overnight. Temps will only fall into the lower to mid 40s for lows. We’re…

A Warming Trend Ahead

Our latest cold snap is on the way out and we’re warming nicely heading towards the Thanksgiving Day Holiday. In the meantime, a weak disturbance will pass overhead tonight.

Winter-Like Cold Temps Ahead

We sorta have the look and feel of winter-like weather conditions. The low gray clouds will continue to dominate our sky and temps will remain below average for several days. It’s all behind a departing system that’s taking the rain activity east of us. Clouds remain in place and a northwest wind undercutting those clouds will keep it feeling rather…

A Cloudy & Wet Night Ahead

We head into the night with clouds on the increase and rain advancing eastward into the state. An area of low pressure will be moving along the gulf coast. This disturbance will help generate rain and possibly a few thunderstorms across central and south Alabama. We don’t see anything going severe. The strong to severe storms are expected to stay…

A Cloudy, Windy, And Wet Night Ahead!

Rainfall potential will range between 1 to 2 inches and that’s east of the I-65 corridor. Winds will be northeast at 10-20 mph and gust could reach 25-35 mph. Temps will hover in the…
