From AlabamaWX

ANOTHER COLD START: A few of the colder pockets across North Alabama are below freezing this morning; many other have frost with temperatures in the low to mid 30s. South Alabama communities are in the 40s at daybreak. Expect a big warm-up today… with sunshine in full force we reach the 70s this afternoon.

Tomorrow will be warm and dry with a high in the 77-82 degree range; clouds will increase by afternoon ahead of a cold front that will bring showers and few storms tomorrow night. SPC maintains a low end “marginal risk” (level 1/5) of severe storms for areas north and west of Birmingham.



With hardly any surface based instability and weak dynamic support, the severe threat is low. But a few storms could produce small hail and gusty winds.

Then on Thursday the weather will be windy and sharply colder. Most Tennessee Valley communities won’t get out of the 40s with the risk of a few spotty showers. For the rest of the state the sky becomes partly sunny with highs in the 50s.

FRIDAY FREEZE: Temperatures across a good part of North Alabama will drop into the 26-35 degree range early Friday morning with widespread frost, and a freeze for colder spots. Frost is likely even down into South Alabama with lows in the mid 30s. Then we warm into the 60s Friday afternoon with sunshine in full supply.

THE ALABAMA WEEKEND: We are getting better clarity on the weekend situation. Saturday looks dry and mild with highs in the 70s. And, most of Sunday will be warm and dry with temperatures reaching the upper 70s and low 80s. A batch of showers and storms will then move through Sunday night into early Monday morning.

We note SPC maintains a risk of severe storms for areas west of Alabama Sunday, but models suggest the air will be relatively stable across Alabama late Sunday night, which will keep the overall severe threat here fairly low. We will watch model trends closely as we approach the weekend.

NEXT WEEK: Lingering showers are possible over South Alabama Monday, otherwise the week looks dry and pleasant with highs not far from 70 degrees. See the video briefing for maps, graphics, and more details.



NWS SURVEYS: NWS Birmingham has now confirmed 10 tornadoes from the weekend severe weather event; work will continue today and tomorrow. It is likely that a total of 16 tornadoes touched down across the state. The strongest tornadoes so far…

Plantersville/Maplesville EF-3
Troy/Bullock Counties EF-2
Gordo EF-2
Winterboro EF-2
Jackson’s Gap EF-2

100 YEARS AGO TODAY: In the midday and afternoon hours of Wednesday, March 18, 1925, the deadliest tornado in United States history moved through Eastern Missouri, Southern Illinois and Southern Indiana, killing 695 people and injuring 2,027 more in what is known as the Great Tri-State Tornado. The town of Murphysboro, Illinois was one of the hardest hit communities with 234 of the fatalities occurring there.

The tornado touched down as part of a larger severe weather outbreak that hit the United States on the same day, and produced catastrophic damage across numerous villages and towns across all three states. Despite not being officially rated, it is widely accepted to have been equivalent to an F5 on the Fujita scale.

ON THIS DATE IN 2018: An EF-3 tornado tore through the town of Jacksonville, in Calhoun County. The tornado first touched down west of US Highway 431 north of Wellington, where it rapidly intensified and widened. The tornado entered the City of Jacksonville where it gained strength into the EF3 category, with winds around 140 mph. It removed most of the roof and the top floor of two buildings in an apartment complex.
The tornado affected most of the campus of Jacksonville State University. Several buildings sustained significant damage. The most intense winds remained north of the campus however, mowing down trees and causing direct damage to homes.

As the tornado crossed Highway 21, it caused major damage to the Merrill Building. It then moved into a highly populated zone, where scores of homes suffered major damage and rendered many uninhabitable. The tornado maintained its strength as it crossed Choccolocco Mountain, with winds funneled up the valleys mowing down trees. Despite the damage, there were no fatalities and only one serious injury.

Also on March 19, 2018, very large and destructive hail in Cullman was responsible for major damage to vehicles, homes, and businesses. An Alabama record 5.38″ diameter hailstone confirmed by the NWS.
