From AlabamaWX

NICE WARM-UP TODAY: Colder spots are in the mid 30s across North Alabama early this morning, but we expect a high in the 70s statewide today with a good supply of sunshine. No change tomorrow; dry and mild with highs in the 70s.

THURSDAY: A fast moving disturbance will bring showers and a few thunderstorms into the state Thursday. SPC has now defined a low end “marginal risk” (level 1/5) of severe thunderstorms for a good part of the state…



A few storms Thursday could produce gusty winds and some small hail, but the overall threat is low with weak dynamic support. The high Thursday will be in the 70-76 degree range.

Then, on Friday, the weather will be dry with a mix of sun and clouds. A few spots over the southern half of the state could reach the 80 degree mark.

SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH EARLY SUNDAY MORNING: SPC has much of Alabama in an enhanced risk of severe thunderstorms Saturday and Saturday night.



Here are the updated key messages…

*Severe storms could move into Northwest Alabama as early as Friday night, generally after 9:00 p.m. We expect multiple rounds of strong to severe storms Friday night through Sunday morning; the broad window from 9:00 p.m. Friday through 6:00 a.m. Sunday. Of course, we won’t have continuous rain during this 33 hour window… the sun might even pop out at times. But just understand a strong/severe thunderstorm is possible at any hour during this time frame.

*I know there are many outdoor events Saturday; there is no way of knowing exactly when a severe storm will move through a specific city or town at this point. Just be very weather aware Friday night through Sunday morning during the defined window.

*All modes of severe weather will be possible with the heavier storms, including large hail, damaging winds, and a few tornadoes. A strong tornado will be possible (EF-2 or higher by definition).

*Gradient winds (not related to thunderstorms) will gust to 30/40 mph. Not as extreme as the gradient winds we experienced with the event one week ago. The main concern will be severe storms this time.

*Rain amounts of 2-3 inches are possible, and some flooding issues could develop.

*Is this another April 27, 2011? No. That event was generational. But every severe weather threat needs to be taken seriously; all it takes is one tornado coming down your street to make it YOUR April 27. Days like this are not unusual in March in Alabama.

*Have a reliable way of hearing warnings; never an outdoor siren. A NOAA Weather Radio is the baseline. Be sure WEA (Wireless Emergency Alerts) are enabled on your phone, and have the ABC 33/40 weather app installed.

*Know the safe place in your home, and in that places have helmets for everyone. If you live in a mobile home, know the location of the nearest shelter or business that is open 24/7 that can serve as a shelter. Have transportation arranged.

Once we get within 60 hours of the event we will be able to see output from high resolution, convection allowing models that will give us a much better idea of the small scale features that usually determine the magnitude of a severe weather event.

The sky begins to clear Sunday as dry air returns to the Deep South.

NEXT WEEK: The weather looks dry for the first half of the week; global models suggest a disturbance could bring showers and possibly a thunderstorm to Alabama Thursday. See the video briefing for maps, graphics, and more details.



AIR QUALITY: A “code red” air quality alert is in effect for the Birmingham metro (Jefferson and Shelby counties) this morning due to particulate pollution; smoke from a large prescribed burn (780 acres) over the Bankhead National Forest near the Winston/Lawrence county line was transported into the region late yesterday. As upper winds shift, the smoke will move out of the Birmingham metro this morning, and could impact places like Decatur and Huntsville by late afternoon.



ON THIS DATE IN 1953: An F4 tornado cut an 18-mile path through Haskell and Knox counties in Texas. Seventeen people were killed, and an eight-block area of Knox City was leveled.

ON THIS DATE IN 1963: A tornado moved through southern and eastern Cullman County killing two and injuring six others. Some of the hardest hit communities included Berlin and Fairview.

 

Second guessing the timing of my trip with the storms. May wait this one out!

 

Good morning Bama, hope everyone has a great day and a safe day today.
Gotta love those 40° temperature swings. Yesterday was 36° when I left home and we saw 76° in the afternoon.
Today it's 30° and supposed to be 78°.

 

Interested if I end up close! Will be in touch.

 

Good morning everyone, have a great, safe and blessed Wednesday.

Same old same, just been busy. A friend of mine posted a video on FB of what I am pretty sure was @JBTacoma 's samurai wheeling. Then I thought man I haven't gotten on here in a while.

 

Nice. I'm ready for some camping. Gonna get back on the trail riding on the bike in April.

 

Man once the wife finishes her degree (fingers crossed its this may). I'm buying a adv bike, already got a buddy willing to buy one when I do.

 

I'm hoping I have a better trip this go round
