...Warmest Weather So Far This Year...
The warmest temperature so far this year in Birmingham is 84 degrees, which was recorded on March 26. There is a good chance we will top that today as we get into the warmest weather so far this year. We expect highs in the 86 to 89 degree range over north and central Alabama today and tomorrow, more like mid-June instead of mid-May. While a few small, isolated showers might pop up during the heat of the day, we wont mention them in our formal forecast since warm air aloft should keep a lid on afternoon shower activity for the most part. The chance of any one front yard getting wet over the next few days is only about one in ten.
Temperatures will begin to trend downward slowly by the weekend as a cold front approaches from the northwest. A few scattered showers and storms should break out Saturday afternoon, becoming more numerous Saturday night into Sunday morning as the front passes through.
By Sunday afternoon, the best chance of rain should be east and south of Birmingham as drier and slightly cooler air filters into the state.
The first two days of next week should be pleasant and rain-free.
WARMING UP: The warm spot yesterday in Alabama was Muscle Shoals with 87 degrees. Tuscaloosa, Huntsville, Dothan, and Evergreen reached 86, and Pinson reported 85.
EAST ALABAMA HAIL: Evening storms produced nickel sized hail which covered the ground near Gaylesville in Cherokee county yesterday. Penny sized hail (3/4 in diameter) was reported near Forney, Fruithurst, and Sylvania.
ROAMING: Hot spot in the nation yesterday was Wink, TX with 98. A tornado touched down last night near Audubon, KS.
