Warming Trend Begins Tomorrow; Mostly Dry Through Tuesday
2 min read
BLUE SKY: As advertised, we have sunshine in full supply across Alabama this afternoon as a very dry airmass has pushed into the state. Tonight will be clear and cold with lows in the 25-35 degree range early tomorrow morning.
WEEKEND WARM-UP: The weather will stay dry over the weekend with a warming trend. With a sunny sky tomorrow, highs will be in the 50s and 60s. A disturbance will bring a few clouds Sunday, but the air will be too dry for any rain for most of the state. A few showers could show up near the Gulf Coast and the Florida Panhandle, however. Temperatures reach the 60s statewide Sunday afternoon.
NEXT WEEK: Monday and Tuesday will be dry and mild with highs in the 60s and 70s. A few showers are possible over North Alabama Wednesday, and rain and storms will be more likely by Thursday. See the daily Weather Briefing video for maps, graphics, and more details.
Still no sign of any bitterly cold, Arctic air for Alabama through mid-February.
ON THIS DATE IN 1959: “The Day The Music Died”. At 12:55 a.m. CT, a plane took off from runway 17 at the Mason City, Iowa airport, carrying the lives of Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and J. P. “The Big Bopper” Richardson. At the time of departure, the weather was reported as light snow, a ceiling of 3,000 feet with sky obscured, visibility 6 miles, and winds from 20 to 30 mph. At around 9:35 a.m., Hubert Jerry Dwyer spotted the wreckage less than 6 miles northwest of the airport. The three musicians and the pilot died from this crash.
