Warmer Days Ahead

A clear and cold air mass has settled over us. Temps will fall into the lower 30s again overnight. High pressure over the deep south is helping to keep the skies cloud free. 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…

Front Heading Our Way

High continues to slide a little farther to our east. This opens up a southerly wind flow and moisture begins to increase over the area. The warm southerly winds will help send temps into the upper 70s to around 80 degrees Wednesday afternoon. A frontal boundary works into the state and taps into that stream of gulf moisture. It will…

Warming Up Through Midweek!

We will remain under the influence of high pressure through midweek. This means lots of sunshine and warmer temperatures. We expect low to mid 70s Tuesday and approaching 80 by Wednesday. Overnight temps will be climbing as well. Looks like mid to upper 40s through Wednesday morning. A cold front is on the way for late week. This boundary will…

Colder Air Heading Our Way!

The coldest air so far this fall is heading our way over the weekend! You will notice the chilly air blowing in on northwest winds Saturday. Temps will struggle through the 50s and may not even reach 60 degrees. High pressure builds over the deep south and this will keep the skies clear. The clear sky and light winds will…

A Colder Weekend Ahead!

A frontal boundary pushes through the state tonight. Rain and storms will exit to our east. High pressure will return and skies are back to sunshine Friday. This will be a nice and mild day with temps in the upper 60s to lower 70s for highs. A true cold front will swing through the state Friday night into early Saturday….

Showers & Storms Thursday

High pressure moves east of us allowing a frontal boundary to make a run at the state Thursday. Showers and a few storms are likely through the afternoon and into the evening. Rainfall amounts should remain under half and inch. The frontal boundary quickly moves south of us and we’re back to sunshine Friday. Temps will still manage to reach…

Showers And A Few Storms Ahead This Week

We remain in this mild weather pattern through Wednesday. High pressure slides east of us allowing a frontal boundary to advance into the area Thursday. Showers and a few storms will accompany the boundary as it passes through the state. We don’t see anything too strong or severe but you may hear a rumble or two. Rainfall potential of .50…
