COOL DAYS, COLD NIGHTS: Alabama’s weather won’t change much through Saturday with mostly sunny cool days and clear cold nights. Highs will be in the 50s today tomorrow, then dropping into the 40s Saturday over the northern counties after the passage of a dry “Alberta Clipper” Friday night.
Then a dynamic weather system will bring rain into the state Sunday and Sunday night. We note SPC has defined a risk of severe thunderstorms for the extreme western part of Alabama, and westward across much of Mississippi. Thankfully surface based instability will be low, and the overall threat of severe storms here remains very limited. Rain amounts will be around one inch for the northern half of the state, with amounts closed to 1/2 inch for South Alabama.
Gradient winds (not related to thunderstorms) will ramp up late in the weekend, possibly gusting to 30/40 mph at times.
