Complicated Rain Forecast

Our final rain event of this exceptionally wet year is not cut and dried quite yet.  There are issues with timing and also with the amount of rain we’ll get with this one.
Clouds will increase later tonight and during the day on Wednesday, with our earliest chance for rain coming Wednesday evening.  Thursday will be [...]

Wednesday Night/Thursday Morning RAIN Expected

We began the day with clear skies and temperatures in the 20s.  This afternoon should be mostly sunny with highs a bit warmer than yesterday.  Clouds are expected to increase tonight.  Wednesday should bring overcast skies with rain (not snow) expected to move in by evening and continue through noontime on Thursday.  Friday through Sunday should be [...]

This Week’s Forecast and Next Year’s

Well, it’s back to work for me after having a few days off last week.  The forecast this time of year is always interesting here in the Southeast.  You typically spend your time trying to figure out what systems will produce snow and what systems will produce severe weather.  This week it looks like mainly just [...]

Cold Forecast

It has been a very chilly day across the region and tonight will be even colder. Lows will reach the mid to upper 20’s.   We’ll see a nice recovery in the temperature by Tuesday afternoon, but it will continue below normal for this time of year.  Clouds will increase Tuesday night.  Looks like a good [...]

Wet Finish to ‘09

Appropriately, 2009 is going to end on a wet note. This wettest year in Columbus recorded history will finish in style, with a rain system passing through the northern Gulf on New Year’s Eve to put an exclamation point on this very wet year. So far we’ve had 80 inches of rain this year and [...]

Cold Monday

A shot of colder air has arrived in the Heart of the Valley this morning.  Even with some sunshine today it will be a struggle to hit 40 for a high.  If you think today is cold just wait until the weekend.  Temperatures will likely be the coldest of the winter so far.  Arctic air is [...]

Sunny and Cold

Look for sunny skies but cold temperatures out there today.  Tonight, those lows are expected to drop into the mid-20s.
Wednesday night into Thursday morning a chance of rain.
New Year’s Day into the weekend expect dry weather and more cold temps.

Dry Front Moving Through

A dry cold front moving across Alabama overnight is setting the stage for a sunny, breezy and colder Monday.  A northwesterly wind will vary between 5 and 15 mph, and after highs on Sunday generally in the 50s, we’ll top out only in the 40s at the start of the new work week. 
There’s a little [...]

Wintry Scenario

Weather for the final days of 2009 and first few of 2010 is looking very much like winter, for us and much of the country. The overall pattern will consist of an upper level trough in the eastern U.S. and a ridge in the West, allowing for the delivery of some pretty cold air masses [...]

Year to End Cold and Wet

The last weekend of 2009 should be a dry one for us here in Alabama, thanks to a high-pressure center now over Mobile.  A few clouds may form on Sunday, but the atmosphere at the surface is quite dry—with dew points in the 20s and 30s—and we’re not likely to see precipitation reach the ground [...]
