...Strong Storms Tomorrow...

Warm January weather will continue across Alabama today, with most places reaching the low 70s this afternoon, twenty degrees above normal for January 12. A few showers could show up today, but they should be very isolated and most places will be dry.

While we enjoy a nice spring-like today, we will watch the weather to the west where severe storms should form this afternoon over parts of east Texas, Arkansas, and Louisiana.

ACTIVE DAY TOMORROW: That strong storm system will move from the southern plains into Canada during the next 36 hours, and will drag a cold front through Alabama tomorrow. Wind fields will be very strong near the surface and aloft, and we expect a fast moving squall line during the day. This line of storms will have the potential to produce high straight line winds as it races across the state. While we cannot totally rule out a few isolated tornadoes, the main threat seems to be from damaging straight line winds.

COOLER DAYS: Noticeably cooler air will move into Alabama Friday and into the weekend. The longer range models continue to suggest a less amplified upper air pattern for North America, which means temperatures won’t be extremely cold, but they will be below normal levels for mid-January.
Next week, we will bring in a chance of rain showers on Tuesday, followed by another shot of colder air on Wednesday.

JUST LIKE SPRING: Tuscaloosa was one of the warmest places in the state yesterday with a balmy 77 degrees. In the Tennessee Valley, a passing shower dropped 0.53” of rain at Decatur.

CALIFORNIA DEATHS: The death toll in California is now 19 from recent storms.
