February 29, 2020 Leave a comment
Good Saturday evening! Today was another picture-perfect day weather wise across the coverage area as highs soared into the mid 60s and even the upper 60s in many parts of Central Alabama. As we go into the late evening and overnight hours, expect dry conditions to continue and overnight lows to be falling into the upper 30s and low 40s.
On Sunday, expect much of the same weather story as a surface high pressure moves over the region and keeps us dry. Temperatures will be reaching the upper 60s and low 70s and overnight lows will be in the low to mid 50s. Clouds will be increasing though during the late evening and overnight hours in front of our next big weather maker, so enjoy this last day of sunshine.
As we start the next work week, unfortunately rain will be back. Expect widespread moderate to heavy showers on Monday and into Wednesday. These will likely be all-day rain events, so be sure and keep the umbrella close by. The biggest threat associated with this event is going to flooding as possible rain amounts could top five inches by the end of the week. However, we will continue to monitor the risk for severe storms as we gain higher confidence with multiple model runs.
By Thursday, much of the rain will begin tapering off and clouds will begin clearing, so plan on nice weather to return and continue into the weekend. Highs will be reaching the mid to upper 60s with lows in the 40s each day.

Good Thursday afternoon! Our local weather started off cold this morning, but with plenty of sunshine, most areas reached the lower 50s this afternoon. We can expect a mostly clear and chilly night tonight, with a low in the lower 30s. A light freeze and frost will be possible for some areas.
Good Sunday evening! Almost all of the coverage area has remained dry today, except for a few sprinkles here and there as cloud cover has increased due to the next system moving through the region. Expect heavier showers to be moving in by around midnight and into the early morning hours. Overnight lows will be dropping into the upper 40s.
Good Saturday evening! Today was another dry and pleasant day across the coverage area as a high pressure has continued to dominate the forecast. Highs reached the upper 50s and even the lower 60s over much of Central Alabama this afternoon and currently temperatures are in the low 50s and upper 40s. Expect the rest of today to remain dry and temperatures will continue to drop as we go in the latter parts of the evening. Overnight lows will be in the mid 30s and skies will be partly cloudy.
Happy Friday! A cold day today with highs this afternoon only reaching into the upper 40s. Fortunately plenty of sunshine for the day today and tonight will remain dry and clear as well with another cold night in store in the upper 20s!!
Good Thursday afternoon! It has been a wet couple of days to say the least here in the southeast! At 3:30pm, rain is coming to an end quickly across the area, as drier air begins to take over for a few days. Expect a cold night, with lower 30s along I-20, with some upper 20s possible to the north of Tuscaloosa and Birmingham.
