...More Rains In Our Future...

GOOD MORNING! And we really don’t need any more rain. Birmingham has already received 9.82 inches of rain in the month of November, which is enough to make it the third wettest November in the city’s official records. It will have to rain a lot in the next four days to ease into second or first place. Nearly five inches for second place. Now, we don’t expect that to happen, but we could see up to an inch today and another inch or so on Monday

WARMER START: Temperatures getting off to a warmer start this morning than yesterday, when we came very close to our first official freeze of the season. Birmingham’s latest first freeze was on December 5, 1921. The airmass behind our next cold front will be Pacific in origin and will not produce any freezing temps. Another front at midweek will bring colder air, with a chance of a freeze Saturday morning. But we might break that latest first freeze record.

RAIN TODAY: A vigorous, but fast moving storm system will bring rain to the state today. There will be some thunderstorms involved, but they will be of the elevated variety, meaning the source of instability will be a few thousand feet above the surface. This means no severe weather, but you will hear a few rumbles of thunder. Rainfall amounts should average less than an inch, so no major flooding is expected.

SUNDAY/MONDAY: Tomorrow should be a beautiful day with sunshine and mild
temperatures. Monday will be a transition day again as another low pressure system organizes to the west of Alabama. A warm front will move north, bringing another round of showers and some thunder to the state Monday night into Tuesday.

TUESDAY/WEDNESDAY: Alabama will be in the warm sector on Tuesday, with additional showers and storms. A cold front will sweep our way by Wednesday, bringing another round of showers and thunderstorms. Some of the storms could be strong to severe again. And once again, the extended period of showers and storms could be produce locally heavy rainfall amounts. This could of course lead to additional flooding.
