NEXT WEEK: A few showers could creep into the state Tuesday, otherwise much of the week looks mild and dry as an upper ridge forms across the Gulf Coast region… See the Weather Xtreme video for maps, graphics, and more details. Otherwise, the weekend will feature lots of sunshine with a high in the low 60s Saturday, followed by low to mid 70s Sunday. Growers will need to watch temperature forecasts both mornings. WEEKEND FROST/FREEZE THREAT: We expect lows well down in the 30s Saturday and Sunday morning over the northern half of the state, with potential for frost, and a freeze for colder spots. Thursday and Friday will be dry with a significant cooling trend expect partly sunny days with a high in the mid 60s Thursday, and in the 57-62 degree range Friday… well below average for April in Alabama. And, watch for updates since the forecast is somewhat complex. Rain totals tomorrow and Wednesday will average 1-3 inches some flooding issues could develop in spots.Īs always, be weather aware tomorrow and Wednesday and pay attention to warnings if they are issued.
The line of storms will pass through the state between 2:00 and 9:00 p.m. The rest of the state is in a “slight risk” (level 1/5). SPC has defined an “enhanced risk” (level 3/5) for parts of North and Central Alabama, including places like Tuscaloosa, Birmingham, Anniston, Gadsden, and Huntsville. The tornado threat is low due to a unidirectional wind profile that is forecast to be in place across the state. While the deepest moisture will be off to the east, there will be lots of instability available, and the storms along the line will be capable of producing large hail and strong, possibly damaging winds. WEDNESDAY: A cold front will bring a line of thunderstorms to the state Wednesday afternoon and evening. This is a conditional threat for the afternoon/evening hours the main threat window comes from 2:00 until 8:00 p.m. The rain will be heavy at times statewide tomorrow morning.Īdditional storms could form tomorrow afternoon and evening if the air can recover from the morning convection, and if they develop they could be severe with potential for hail, strong winds, and isolated tornadoes. There will be no surface based instability over the northern half of the state, so the severe weather threat will be mainly confined to the South Alabama, where stronger storms will be capable of producing strong winds, hail, and possibly a tornado or two. A “slight risk” (level 1/5) extends as far north as Fayette, Oneonta, and Gadsden… and the northern third of the state is under a “marginal risk” (level 1/5).Īn organized mass of rain and storms will move through the state tomorrow morning, generally in the 6am to 12 noon time frame. TOMORROW: SPC has defined an “enhanced risk” (level 3/5) of severe thunderstorms for much of South Alabama… for areas south of a line from Demopolis to Verbena to Roanoke. The severe weather potential for both days is complex, and somewhat conditional. Clouds will increase tonight ahead of an approaching storm system that will bring unsettled weather to the state tomorrow and Wednesday.
the average high for Birmingham on April 4 is 72. ONE MORE DRY DAY: Look for a good supply of sunshine across Alabama today with a high in the mid 70s….
