Spotty showers through Wednesday, heavier again Thursday

Spotty showers through Wednesday, heavier again Thursday
ACROSS CENTRAL ALABAMA THIS MORNING. YOU CAN SEE WE’VE GOT A LOT OF FOG ACROSS THE AREA. VISIBILITY AT TIMES DOWN TO ABOUT A HALF A MILE WHERE THE COLDER AIR, THOUGH, IS STARTING TO MOVE IN. VISIBILITY HAS ACTUALLY BEEN IMPROVING UP ACROSS THE NORTH, THE NORTHWESTERN CORNER OF THE STATE. PLUS, WE’VE ALSO GOT SOME RAIN THAT’S STARTED TO MAKE ITS WAY INTO SOME OF THESE NORTHWESTERN AREAS, TOO. BUT YOU CAN SEE ALL YESTERDAY WE TALKED ABOUT WHAT A HUGE RANGE OF TEMPERATURES WE WOULD LIKELY HAVE NOT ONLY THIS MORNING, BUT THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. IT ACTUALLY DOESN’T FEEL TOO BAD. IT’S KIND OF MILD IN THE BIRMINGHAM METRO AND REALLY I-20 ON SOUTH. BUT, BOY, SOME OF THAT COLDER AIR HAS STARTED TO SNEAK INTO HALEYVILLE AND COLEMAN, WHERE WE’RE DOWN INTO THE FORTIES. AND AS WE CHECK OUT WVTM 13 LIVE DOPPLER, YOU CAN SEE THERE ARE SOME SPOTTY RAIN SHOWERS AROUND. MOST OF THEM ARE FAIRLY LIGHT, A LITTLE BIT HEAVIER HERE UP NEAR SCOTTSVILLE, HACKLEBURG AND KIND OF HEADING OVER TOWARD HALEYVILLE HAMILTON, MAYBE A LITTLE BIT OF PATCHY LIGHT RAIN OVER NEAR BRILLIANT AND TOWNLEY. BUT AGAIN, TEMPERATURES ARE MUCH COLDER NOW UP HERE TO TO THE NORTH OF OF US ARE KIND OF OUR NORTH OF HIGHWAY 278. A LOT OF ICE STORM WARNINGS, WINTER STORM WARNINGS TO OUR NORTH WHERE THEY REALLY HAVE THE COLD AIR IN PLACE. WE’RE NOT EXPECTED TO GET THAT COLD, BUT TEMPERATURES WILL LIKELY GO THE WRONG DIRECTION FOR MANY OF US. YOU CAN SEE IN OUR FUTURE CASES, WE SHOW YOU NUMBERS AS WE GET CLOSER TO LUNCHTIME. YOU CAN SEE THE THE BIRMINGHAM METRO AREA DROPPING INTO THE LOW FIFTIES AND WILL LIKELY STAY IN THE FORTIES UP ACROSS NORTH ALABAMA THROUGH THE DAY TODAY. SO IT’S GOING TO BE A CHILLY AND A WET DAY AT TIMES UP THERE ACROSS THE NORTHERN SPOTS. SOME OF OUR SOUTHERN COUNTIES, IT MAY TAKE A LITTLE BIT LONGER FOR YOU GUYS TO ACTUALLY DROP INTO THE LOW FIFTIES THROUGH THE THE DAY TODAY. SO AT NOON WE’LL GO WITH SOME LOW FIFTIES AGAIN, I THINK MOST OF US WILL HANG OUT NEAR 50, IF NOT BELOW THAT, THOUGH, FOR THE NORTHERN SPOTS. NOT A HUGE CHANCE FOR RAIN TODAY. I THINK WE’LL HAVE BETTER COVERAGE OF SHOWERS COMING IN A LITTLE BIT LATER ON THIS EVENING AND INTO TONIGHT. AND THEN A FEW SHOWERS AROUND WEDNESDAY. A CHILLIER DAY IMPACT WEATHER WITH HEAVY RAIN LIKELY THURSDAY. FINALLY, WE GET SOME SUNSHINE IN HERE, YOU GUYS, BY THE END OF THE WEEK. AND OVER THE WEEKEND

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.
