Active El Nino Winter Pattern Continues

Yet another storm system will spread another band of clouds across the area tonight.  Light rain is possible late tonight, but rain is much more likely during the day Tuesday as a strong cold front marches eastward across the southern states.  It will turn sharply colder behind the front with lows falling to the 20’s [...]

Monday Forecast

It’s not a “Rainy Day On Monday” but it’s a mostly cloudy one.  Some showers made it into the northern tier of counties this morning, but most of us won’t see rainfall until after the midnight hour tonight.  Expect mostly cloudy skies for today.  Tuesday’s rain should be over by about noon followed by decreasing [...]

Late Week Snow Possible…

If you watched my forecast last Friday, I mentioned the possibility of snow or at least a wintry mix late week.  The forecast models were hinting the possibility.  Now, it’s a bit more of a hint.  The GFS is now showing a low forming in the Gulf of Mexico.  These lows give us a classic [...]

A Tricky Late Week Forecast…

Low clouds across the area this morning should begin to burn off by 9am, and we should be under significant sunshine by the noon hour; we are going to need it, because brisk north winds will continue to transport cold air into the state today. Our highs should top out in the mid to [...]

Colder Air On The Way…

Our cold, wet winter continues, but thankfully not as cold and wet here today as what they are seeing in the northeast, which is getting dumped on with snow this weekend. That same system is going to bring in cool air across the state today, making it a raw, gray, cold day. Expect [...]

24-Hour Rainfall Totals

Patchy Drizzle for Saturday

Most of the heavier showers have ended in west Alabama.  Light to moderate rain continues in the eastern and southeastern parts of the state and those showers continue to move to our east and to our north into Georgia.  This afternoon we could see patchy light showers as “wrap around moisture” begins.  That moisture could stay with [...]

Rainy Night in Alabama

Look for a very rainy night ahead across the state.  Rainfall will be locally heavy at times.  Rainfall amounts of 2-3″ are likely in many Alabama communities, and there could be some flooding issues in localized areas.
The wet weather will end from west to east across Alabama tomorrow, exiting the state into Georgia sometime early [...]

Rain Days and Thursdays

If you’ve got to have a chance of rain, have it toward the end of the week and get it over with by the weekend.  While we do have a good chance of rain today, Friday morning and drizzle for Saturday, the sunshine should be out again by Sunday.  The respite from the rain will be [...]
