Temps Approaching 80 Degrees Late Week

An active weather pattern remains but there will be a period of much warmer temps before more storms roll through here. Occasional showers continue through the night into early Wednesday. These depart by late morning and we’re into sunshine through the afternoon hours. Temps respond a bit and reach the lower 60s for highs. Much warmer temps are ahead for…

More Rain/Storms Ahead This Week

A rather active weather across the region this week. Periods of rain and storms will push through the area. Another severe storm threat may even be setting up for part of the upcoming weekend. In the mean time, a cold front moves through the state tonight. The storms push eastward but a few areas of showers may linger. A surge…

Warming Trend Continues Into The Weekend

High pressure continues to maintain a hold over the deep south. This will keep us in a rather mild weather pattern for now. Southwesterly winds are keeping any cold air from moving into the area. The southwest flow will transport clouds through here a times but we remain dry through most of the weekend. Temps will maintain mid to even…

Milder Weather Pattern For Now

Our unseasonably warm weather pattern continues on and it’s hanging around for a few more days. High pressure over the gulf is helping to keep any cold air out of the region. Westerly winds help maintain a daily warm up into the 70s. We expect this to continue at least through Sunday. This will be really nice weather conditions for…

Meteorological Winter Begins But Doesn’t Feel Like It

Meteorological winter is underway but we’re in the midst of a warming trend and it’s likely to hang around through the weekend. High pressure will be the main weather feature over the region. This will help keep lots of sunshine overhead and temps respond. Mornings do start out chilly but temps recover nicely with highs in the mid to upper…

We expect this to continue Wednesday. Winds become southeasterly and temps begin to respond with highs in the lower to mid 60s. It’s the beginning of a…

A Brief Cold Snap!

We’re on the backside of a cold front and that’s allowing much colder air to spill into the state. Temps will drop into the lower 30s overnight. The NWS Birmingham has issued a freeze warming for our central and northern counties. You may want to take care of those tender plants. We expect abundant sunshine to be overhead Tuesday. The…

Turning Breezy & Colder

The cold front moves south and out of our area overnight. This will reveal a mostly clear sky. That’s going to favor well for our chance to witness a partial lunar eclipse. It begins shortly after 1am and ends just before 5am. The eclipse peaks around 3am, so maybe set your alarm to catch it around that time. Going into…

A Few Showers Then Turning A Bit Cooler

A cold front is on the way and its bringing in our next round of rain activity. Rainfall potential is very light with .25″ or less expected. This system is fairly tame and no severe storms are anticipated. The air behind the front is a bit colder and you’ll notice the change Friday. Afternoon temps will drop back into the…
