Sunny and Warm Tuesday Afternoon

HERE COMES THE SUN, AND WARMTH: Our flow switches around from the south today and we expect a big warm-up; after the cool start we climb into the lower and mid 80s by mid-afternoon with sunshine in full force. Wednesday will be sunny and warm with a high in the mid to upper 80s. RAIN & SOME STORMS THURSDAY: Wednesday…

80s Return Tomorrow

CLOUDS HANGING TOUGH: A cool start to the day with many of us well down into the 50s, with some upper 40s out there. The upper-level low continues to cross the state today, and as it does, it is allowing for clouds to continue to be the dominate feature in our weather today, and we also cannot rule out a…

Big Weekend Cool Down says Future Forecaster Zaria Bright

FLIRTING WITH 90°: Almost hot temperatures expected today with highs in the upper 80s. We will see a few more clouds, and there should be a few more scattered showers and storms this afternoon over the northern half of the state, as a weak frontal boundary drops down into Alabama, but most of Alabama stays dry. STORMS FOR THE WEEKEND:…

Summer-like Warmth Continues

RIDGE IN PLACE: Today will be mainly sunny and rain-free with temperatures in the the upper 80s for much of South/Central Alabama. Rain chances are not zero, but are generally under ten percent. If you see a shower, consider yourself lucky. Friday will be a near repeat in the weather department, but some locations are going to be flirting with…

Well Above-Average Temps Continue

WARM WEDNESDAY: We will also need to keep a chance of a very isolated shower/storm in the forecast, but most of us will be staying dry, and it really looks as though the greatest chance of rain will be over eastern and northern portions of the state. We should see more sun than clouds, with highs in the mid to…

Very Warm Days Ahead

Unseasonably warm weather will continue the rest of the week, and we will maintain the threat of isolated showers and storms today and tomorrow, but these will be few and far between as the upper ridge begins to build again. Highs will be in the mid and upper 80s through and Friday, and some locations could very well see 90°…

Summer-like Week of Weather

It was a beautiful and very warm Easter weekend across Alabama. As we start the new work week, our Monday will feature a mix of sun and clouds, and isolated showers/storms mainly during the afternoon and evening hours. The better rain chances will be in the northern half of Alabama and down along the Gulf Coast. Highs will be in…

Very Warm Weather for Easter says Future Forecaster Sabria Parker

SUMMER-LIKE PATTERN: An upper-level ridge is in place across the Southeast, setting the stage for several very nice, sunny, and unseasonably warm days through the Easter weekend. The ridge will suppress any shower/storm development, and with the lack of moisture, there is just not much fuel for any convection anyways. For your Good Friday, we are going to be mainly…

Ridge Building In

CLEAR SAILING THROUGH EASTER: A ridge is building in across the Southeast and will hold on through the Easter weekend, that means warn and dry days ahead. Still looks as though much of the forecast will feature partly to mainly sunny days, clear and fair nights, with highs in the lower to mid 80s and lows around 60°. No threat…
