RAIN CONTINUES THIS MORNING; LOW-END RISK OF A FEW SEVERE STORMS CONTINUES… Scattered showers and thunderstorms continue across the region on this Tuesday morning. A few tornadoes and wind damage happened last night in parts of Mississippi but we have been fortunate, so far, to not have any tornado/wind issues in south Alabama or northwest Florida. An ongoing, low-end risk of severe storms will continue through approximately 1PM. The overall severe weather risk is LOW, but not entirely zero. Any storms that become severe probably won’t last long. The Storm Prediction Center maintains a Level 2 (out of 5) risk for our local area but that will be trimmed back throughout the day as the overall threat diminishes from west to east. Have a way to hear warnings over the next several hours!
RAIN & STORMS CLEAR OUT LATER TODAY; COOLER AIR MOVES IN TONIGHT… Scattered showers and thunderstorms will continue to move to the east and out of our area this afternoon into this evening. High temperatures will be in the low- to mid-70s this afternoon. Much cooler air is set to move into our region as we get into the evening hours. Overnight lows by 6AM Wednesday will be in the 40s farther inland with 50s likely near the immediate coast. Drier conditions are expected Wednesday.
MOSTLY CLOUDY & CHILLY THANKSGIVING DAY… Mainly dry conditions are in the forecast for Thanksgiving Day on Thursday. A few highly isolated showers may be possible in the evening hours, particularly across west Alabama. Most communities will remain dry on Thursday. Temperatures will be quite cool with most spots struggling to hit the 60 degree mark. Most locales will top out in the mid- to upper-50s.
A FEW SHOWERS EARLY FRIDAY MORNING… If you’re headed out for Black Friday shopping, take the rain jackets as isolated showers will be possible. Not every community will have rain in the very early morning hours of Friday, but I expect some will. Temperatures early Friday will start out in the mid-40s. Highs on Friday will be around the 60 degree mark, similar to Thursday.
MAINLY DRY WEEKEND; DRY FOR THE IRON BOWL… Partly cloudy skies are expected on Saturday and Sunday locally with highs in the low-60s. The Iron Bowl is in Auburn this year with kickoff set for 2:30PM CST. Game time temperatures will start in the upper-50s, falling into the upper-40s by the end of the game. Take the jackets for sure but know that the rain jackets probably won’t be needed.
