    From AlabamaWX

    COLD FRONT GETTING CLOSER: Temperatures will rise into the 80s again today across Alabama with a mix of sun and clouds, but we will bring in a chance of showers, and possibly a thunderstorm this afternoon and tonight ahead of a cold front. The broad risk of showers will come rom about 3:00 p.m. today until 6:00 a.m. tomorrow; heaviest rain totals will come over the northwest corner of the state, where some places could see over 1/2 inch. But, for most of the state, amounts will be well under 1/2 inch.

    We do note SPC has defined a very low end “marginal risk” (level 1/5) of severe thunderstorms for Northwest Alabama late this afternoon and early tonight, but there is no risk of a tornado, and no risk of hail. A storm or two could produce gusty winds, but we aren’t expecting any meaningful severe weather issues.

    [​IMG]

    Showers will end early tomorrow, followed by gradual clearing. The day will be noticeably cooler with a high in the 68-72 degree range.

    REST OF THE WEEK: The weather will be dry around here over the latter half of the week with mostly sunny days, fair nights, and a warming trend. The high Wednesday will be in the mid 70s, then close to 80 Thursday, followed by low to mid 80s Friday.

    THE ALABAMA WEEKEND: Moisture levels will rise a bit over the weekend, and we will mention some risk of spotty showers Saturday and Sunday. But, for now we aren’t expecting the rain to be widespread or heavy. Both days will feature a mix of sun and clouds with a high between 81 and 85 degrees.

    NEXT WEEK: Highest chance of rain should come around the middle of next week when a cold front will push through the state; highs will remain mostly in the low to mid 80s. See the Weather Xtreme video for maps, graphics, and more details.

    ON THIS DATE IN 1880: A violent tornado, at times up to 400 yards wide, swept away at least 20 homes in Macon, Mississippi. Pieces of houses were found 15 miles away. 22 people died, and 72 were injured. Loaded freight cars were thrown 100 yards into homes. Clothes were carried for eight miles.

    ON THIS DATE IN 1912: An estimated F4 tornado struck Ponca City, Oklahoma. One person was killed, and 119 homes were damaged or destroyed. Dozens of oil derricks were flattened or twisted, southwest of town. The tornado was reportedly visible and audible for 20 miles

    Good morning!
    From AlabamaWX

    RADAR CHECK: A band of showers in association with a cold front is working through the state early this morning; these showers should be out of the northern half of the state by mid-morning, and we expect a clearing sky this afternoon. Showers could linger over the southeast counties during the afternoon hours, but rain amounts there will be very light and spotty. Today will be much cooler with a high in the 68-72 degree range… the average high for Birmingham on April 26 is 78.

    Tonight will be clear and very cool; most places will drop into the 40-45 degree range early tomorrow; not many more of these cool mornings left before the long, hot summer gets here.

    Expect sunny days, fair nights, and a warming trend tomorrow for the rest of the week… the high tomorrow will be in the mid 70s… close to 80 Thursday, followed by low 80s Friday.

    THE ALABAMA WEEKEND: While moisture levels will slowly rise over the weekend, an upper ridge stays in place across the Deep South, and that should keep the weather generally dry. We will forecast a partly sunny sky Saturday, and on Sunday a few spotty showers could show up over the northern half of the state, but many places will stay rain-free. Odds of any one spot getting a shower Saturday are around 10 percent, and 15-20 percent Sunday. Highs will be in the mid 80s over the weekend under the ridge.

    NEXT WEEK: The weather looks quiet much of the week with warm days; we will mention a chance of showers Thursday as a front sags into the state, but rain amounts probably won’t be too heavy with the ridge in place. Highs will be in the 80s, and still no sign of any severe weather issues for the state for the next 7-10 days. See the Weather Xtreme video for maps, graphics, and more details.

    [​IMG]

    ON THIS DATE IN 1978: An unusually strong occluded front swept out of the Gulf of Alaska and produced the first April thunderstorm of record at Fairbanks. Pea-size hail fell northeast of Fairbanks from thunderstorms whose tops were less than 8000 feet.

    ON THIS DATE IN 2011: The generational tornado outbreak of late April 2011 was underway. A high risk of severe weather was issued for April 26 for portions of Louisiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Texas along and near the Interstate 30 corridor as conditions became even more favorable for extreme weather. Numerous tornadoes touched down across several states, including Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas. Most of those tornadoes were weak, but a few of them caused considerable damage. A long-tracked wedge tornado caused EF-2 damage in rural portions of Texas and Louisiana.An EF-3 tornado destroyed structures and caused severe damage at Fort Campbell, Kentucky, as well. A total of 55 tornadoes were confirmed the 26th, although no fatalities occurred.

    The following day, April 27, 62 tornadoes would touch down across Alabama, killing 252 people.
