If the snow across North Alabama this morning was a suprise to you it was a suprise to us as well. While we expected a little snow or sleet to fall this morning, 5″ of the stuff was the farthest thing from our minds. This is a great example of how forecasting the [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

The same powerful storm that brought 2-to-3 inches of rain to much of our area on Friday and dumped record snowfall on the mid-Atlantic continued on Saturday to generate windy conditions for us even as it departed off the East Coast.  The steep pressure gradient between that exiting low-pressure area and the incoming high-pressure resulted [...]

If you’re like me – enough is enough.  I think it’s fair to say it would be great if the rain would back off a bit.  Seems these days like we’re living in Seattle South.  Get ready for another soaker by Thursday.  Today and tomorrow will be dry.  But, it’s possible we could see some [...]

Starting out chilly and cloudy this morning with area temperatures below freezing across the area. Clouds have been rather stubborn to clear, but will slowly do so as the day progresses today; I think most of us are in sunshine by mid-afternoon. Highs today will struggle into the mid 40s, and we should [...]

The  rainy start to our weekend produced totals of more than two inches in some places, such as Dothan (2.66″) and Evergreen (2.23″), with one-inch tallies quite common across central and southern Alabama.  The rain departed before midday, leaving a low cloud layer and a cold wind for Saturday afternoon.  The northerly wind will persist [...]

Gonna be a gray, cool day today across the area…fog has formed along most of I65 this morning, with visibilities as low as a half a mile in spots…motorists should use caution on the road this morning. Where there is fog, it should lift by midday as drier air begins to move back in [...]
