The current warm spell across the area resulted in several new records today.
The high of 76F at the Shuttlesworth Birmingham International Airport tied the record for the date, set in 1939, 1971, 1986.
Anniston registered a high of 76F, which was good enough to tie the record for the date set in 1971.
Tuscaloosa established a new record high for the date when the mercury hit 77F at 2:59 p.m. The previous record was 76F, set in 1956 and 1986.
Tomorrow’s record highs include 78F at Birmingham and Anniston and 77F at Tuscaloosa The NAM model thinks we have a shot at the record at Birmingham, calling for a high of 78F. The GFS is not as aggressive, with a MOS high of 75F. With a good bit of sunshine in store for Sunday, I think we have a shot.
