Cold Front Nearing Northwest Alabama

But today, the weather is comfortable with temperatures mostly in the low 70s this afternoon with a mostly cloudy sky. A few small, isolated showers are on radar over the central counties of the state; scattered showers remain possible over the next few hours, but the most widespread rain with the front will come after 10:00 tonight.

Brighter, Warmer Weekend
NEW RECORDS: So far, the high today at Birmingham-Shuttlesworth Airport is 51 degrees. We will easily break the 100 year old record for the lowest maximum temperature for May 5; the old record is 60 set in 1917. If the temperature remains below 52 degrees, this will be the coldest May day on record (the current record is 52 degrees, set on May 3, 1921). Continue reading

Cold Night Ahead; Beautiful Weekend

Another freeze warning is in effect tonight. Most places will see a low between 22 and 26 degrees, but with a clear sky and calm wind, colder pockets will have a good chance of reaching the upper teens.
