REMEMBERING APRIL 27, 2011… Today is the 13th Anniversary of the historic April 27, 2011 tornado outbreak that killed 252 Alabamians.
Over 60 tornadoes happened on that day, injuring over 1,000 people. May we never forget all those we lost on that terrible day, 13 years ago today.
NICE, WARM SATURDAY… Skies will remain mostly cloudy on this Saturday. The good news is we don’t have rain in the forecast today. High temperatures will be in the mid-80s.
Enjoy the day!

Heads up to those visiting area beaches this weekend: increasing SE winds will result in a HIGH risk of rip currents & building surf along the AL & W FL panhandle beaches Saturday thru early next week. The surf will become dangerous for all levels of swimmers! #mobwx pic.twitter.com/T4IqIxKVvE

This weather is so nice! It's quiet… *squints*…a little too quiet. No worries, we got you. Enjoy your weekend Alabama! We'll take these nice few days to train, review, study, forecast, and improve everything we do while we watch/wait for the next threat of impactful weather.
