Rain Returns Saturday Night
DRY AIR HAS RETURNED: Following the rain and storms of last night and early this morning, we now have a sunny sky over almost all of Alabama.

Tonight will be clear and colder; most places will drop into the 36-42 degree range early tomorrow morning. Continue reading
Rain Ends Early Today; Sun By Afternoon
RADAR CHECK: Bands of showers and thunderstorms are moving across Alabama early this morning; as expected we have not had any issues with severe storms, but gradient winds are strong (not related to thunderstorms)… gusting to 30 mph at times. Rain will end from west to east early this morning, and the sky will be sunny by late morning or early afternoon. Temperatures are mild this morning; in fact near 70 degrees at places like Tuscaloosa and Muscle Shoals at daybreak, but they will fall through the 60s today with a brisk west wind. Continue reading

Showers Return To Alabama Later Today And Tonight
RAIN ON THE WAY: Clouds will increase across Alabama today ahead of a major pre-Thanksgiving storm system developing over the Central U.S. This system will bring heavy snow from Colorado and Wyoming out across the High Plains and the northern Great Lakes over the next 48 hours; winter storm warnings are in effect there, and major travel issues are likely. In the warm sector of the system, severe thunderstorms are possible later today and tonight from Louisiana and Mississippi north into Missouri and parts of Illinois. Continue reading

Clouds Increasing; Some Rain At Mid-Afternoon
CLOUDS; SOME RAIN: We have some “illegal” patches of rain across North Alabama this afternoon (the forecast was for dry conditions today)… the rain seems to be ahead of a surface boundary that has formed around I-59 that is lifting slowly northward. The sky is mostly cloudy over the northern half of the state, with a mix of sun and clouds over South Alabama. Temperatures are mostly in the 60s. The light rain over North Alabama should move northward into Tennessee this evening. Continue reading
