Warm Days Ahead… Severe Storms Possible Thursday… Monday PM Forecast Update #alwx @wvua23

Good Monday afternoon! Our local weather will remain warm over the next few with, with daytime highs warming into the 70s. It will turn cool tonight, with a low in the lower 40s. Skies will become partly cloudy overnight.

For Valentine’s Day, expect a high in the lower 70s. Clouds will increase during the day, with a breezy southeast wind developing. Winds could gust over 20mph at times on Tuesday and Wednesday. A few showers will be possible Tuesday night and Wednesday.

We’re looking at a severe weather risk on Thursday. Not much change regarding the severe weather threat. At this time, the main window appears 8am – 8pm, but I’ll narrow that down this week. All modes of severe will be possible, including a few tornadoes and damaging winds.

It is possible the better support passes north of the area, which could limit the risk some. That being said, there is a risk and we’ll need to monitor trends.

Beautiful Start to the Week… Storms Thursday… Sunday PM Forecast Update #alwx @wvua23

Good Sunday to you! It has been a beautiful day here locally with plenty of sunshine and temperatures topping out around 60 degrees. Temperatures will dip down to right around the freezing mark tonight. If you are staying out for the big game, make sure to bring a jacket with you.

Dry conditions will stick around for Monday and Tuesday. Temperatures warm to the low 70s by Tuesday. The models have scaled back on the rain chances for Valentine’s Day. Some of us may see a sprinkle later on in the evening when you’re coming back from date-night around 9pm. It won’t be much of anything to effect your love-day plans.

The main wet weather comes in mid-week for Wednesday and Thursday. Temperatures will be quite warm in the low 70s for then. The Storm Prediction Center has already flagged Thursday for potential strong-severe storms. The models are still unsure on exactly when these storms will move through on Thursday. What we do know is that this system looks to move quickly across the state. This is a ways out so we will keep you updated on Thursday’s details as we get closer.

What you can do now is prepare for Thursday. This means to make sure you have batteries in your weather radio and have a severe weather safety plan in place. These storms are associated with a strong cold front that will drop our temperatures significantly for Friday and overnight into Saturday.

Widespread Rain Tomorrow… Sunny on Sunday… Friday PM Forecast Update #alwx @wvua23

Happy Friday to you! You have made it to the weekend! Rain is developing to our south so areas south of I-20 may get some sprinkles tonight. Most of us will be dry tonight. Rain comes into Central Alabama Saturday morning. We are expecting widespread rain for the majority of Saturday with a possible thunderstorm or two mixed in. Models have snow flakes possible to be mixed in with this rain for Saturday night into early Sunday morning. Right now it looks like it will be too warm for much accumulation. The rain continues overnight into Sunday with a couple showers lingering as you’re heading out the door. Sunday will have plenty of sunshine and temperatures right on par for this time of year. Temperatures will be in the upper 30s Sunday morning, eventually heating up to the upper 50s.

The sun sticks around for Monday but showers are possible on Valentine’s Day and Wednesday. The Storm Prediction Center has already flagged Thursday for potential strong to severe storms in the afternoon-evening hours. This is a ways out so we will keep you updated on Thursday’s details as we get closer. These storms are associated with a strong cold front that will drop our temperatures significantly for Friday.

Showers South Tonight… Widespread Rain on Saturday… Thursday PM Forecast Update #alwx @wvua23

Good Thursday afternoon! The weather has varied drastically today across the state, with clouds and showers south of I-20 for much of the day. North of I-20, the sun has come out and it has turned into a very nice day. Showers will remain possible south of Tuscaloosa and Birmingham overnight. Temperatures will fall into the 40s tonight.

Showers will remain possible on Friday to the south of I-20, with drier air to the north.

A deep upper level low will pass through the area on Saturday, with widespread rain expected. The temperatures aren’t quite right for snow flakes on Saturday, but it’s a close call for some areas. We’ll keep an eye on trends. If you’re northeast of Birmingham, there’s a chance you could see a few flakes mix in the rain.

Nice weather returns on Monday.

Showers Tonight… Rain & Storms Late Wednesday Night… Tuesday PM Forecast Update @alwx @wvua23

Good Tuesday afternoon! Our local weather has been warm today, with many areas topping out in the upper 60s to lower 70s. Skies will remain mainly cloudy this evening, with scattered light showers becoming possible after sunset.

A few scattered showers can’t be ruled out on Wednesday, especially during the afternoon hours. Temperatures will warm well into the 70s on Wednesday.

Storms will pass through the area late Wednesday night, with widespread rain expected. Severe weather risk is limited Wednesday night and very early Thursday morning. Due to limited instability, I don’t expect a major risk of a tornado. We’ll watch trends carefully, but if unstable air were to increase, the risk of severe weather would also increase.

Showers could linger into the late morning on Thursday, with showers lingering into the afternoon for areas south of Birmingham.

Good Monday evening! Our local weather has been nice and warm today, as we deal with a spring preview. Temperatures reached the lower 70s for many areas. Expect a cool night tonight, with an overnight low in the lower 40s.

For Tuesday, clouds will rapidly increase. A few showers can’t be ruled out Tuesday afternoon and Tuesday evening, but widespread rain is unlikely. We’ll maintain a chance of a stray shower or storm on Wednesday as well, but most areas will be dry during the day.

Storms will pass through the area late Wednesday night, with widespread rain expected. Severe weather risk is limited Wednesday night and very early Thursday morning. Due to limited instability, I don’t expect a major risk of a tornado. We’ll watch trends carefully, but if unstable air were to increase, the risk of severe weather would also increase.
