Spotty showers through Wednesday, heavier again Thursday
Big temperature ranges and more soaking rain: more impactful weather coming for the rest of this week. Check the video forecast for the latest.
ICE TO THE NORTH, RAIN AROUND HERE
A significant winter storm ices Northwest Mississippi into western Tennessee this week, and the cold air setting up the freezing rain slowly oozes into Alabama, too. It just fails to get cold enough for wintry weather here: just a cold, rainy setup through Thursday for most of North and Central Alabama.
Monday’s warmth fades on Tuesday as a chilly north wind drops temperatures from the 50s in the morning to the 40s in the afternoon. Expect some spotty, light showers Tuesday: a damp-feeling, chilly winter day to round out what has been a very warm January: 6.1°F above average through the 29th in Birmingham (15th-warmest so far since 1897).
More of the same weather follows for Wednesday: limited chance of some showers and a big temperature differential from north to south. Temperatures likely range from as low as 45°F in Haleyville to around 60°F in Alexander City: Birmingham, Tuscaloosa, Anniston and Gadsden in the middle with temps in the upper 40s and lower 50s.
SEVEN DAY FORECAST
The next ‘big’ round of rain hits Thursday, and we labeled that an ‘IMAPCT DAY’ because it looks like an inconvenient, disruptive soaker: around 1-2” of rainfall and the chance of some stronger storms over South Alabama again. It likely rains the majority of the day Thursday before colder, drier air finally pushes the storminess out in favor of more seasonable (cool) weather and some sunshine into the first weekend of February.
The weekend looks partly to mostly sunny and typical of early February: highs in the 50s, lows in the 30s/40s.
