Hot/Dry Weather Ahead For Alabama
HERE COMES THE HEAT: A strong upper ridge will build across the Deep South in coming days, and will set the stage for the hottest weather so far this year for Alabama. The system that produced severe thunderstorms and flooding over the Southern Plains last night will pass well to the north. Continue reading
Heat Levels Rising In Coming Days
DANGEROUS WEATHER WELL TO THE WEST: A “high risk” (level 5/5) of severe thunderstorms and tornadoes is defined for parts of North Texas and Oklahoma through tonight. A few violent, long track tornadoes are possible in this region, along with serious flash flooding. Continue reading
Hottest Weather So Far This Year Ahead
HOT, DRY PATTERN DEVELOPING: We will mention a chance of isolated showers or thunderstorms this afternoon across North/Central Alabama as a weak surface boundary begins to lift northward as a warm front, but most places will be dry. Otherwise, expect a mix of sun and clouds today with a high in the upper 80s. The average high at Birmingham on May 20 is 82. Continue reading
Mainly Sunny and Hot Saturday
Plenty of sunshine across Alabama today. It is very warm to hot as well with temperatures in the upper 80s and lower 90s across the state. Factor in that humidity, and it sure feels a lot like summer. Continue reading
Isolated Storms Over East Alabama
RADAR CHECK: A few isolated storms are on radar this afternoon, mostly over the eastern half oF Alabama. They are showing very little movement due to light upper air winds; and so far they are not as strong as yesterday thanks to warmer air aloft. Otherwise, the sky is partly sunny today with temperatures generally in the upper 80s. Once again Tuscaloosa is the hot spot with 92 degrees as of 2:00 p.m. Continue reading
Summer-Like Pattern Continues
SUN, HEAT, A FEW STORMS: Not much change in the Alabama weather situation today. Partly sunny, very warm, and a few isolated storms during the peak of the daytime heating process this afternoon and early tonight. The high will be in the 87 to 90 degree range. Odds of any one place getting wet are around one in eight. Continue reading
Summer-Like Weather To Continue
RADAR CHECK: We have a few small, isolated showers and thunderstorms across Alabama this afternoon… one of those thunderstorms produced small hail and strong gusty winds over Anniston and Oxford around 3:15 p.m. Continue reading
Warmer Days Ahead; Only Isolated Showers
SUMMER PATTERN DEVELOPING: We had a few isolated showers on radar early this morning over East Alabama; those have dissipated and the weather is quiet at daybreak. Today will be warm with a mix of sun and clouds; we reach the mid 80s this afternoon. A few isolated showers and storms could pop up this afternoon and early tonight, but odds of any one spot getting wet remain small. Continue reading
A Few Showers Tonight And Tomorrow
RADAR CHECK: A disturbance riding down the northwest flow aloft over Alabama is producing some light rain over the northeast counties at mid-afternoon; temperatures there have cooled into the 60s thanks to evaporative cooling. Elsewhere, the sky is partly sunny with temperatures around 80 degrees. Continue reading
Just A Few Isolated Showers Through Tomorrow
ONE LAST COOL MORNING: Many communities have dipped into the mid to upper 40s this morning across North/Central Alabama; our Skywatcher at Black Creek near Gadsden reports 44 degrees just before daybreak. Enjoy this cool morning… next time we see 40s on the map will probably be in mid to late September. Continue reading
