Cloud cover just south of Brent, Alabama on January 12, 2024 (abc3340.com)

From James Spann and the ABC 33/40 Weather Blog:

ACTIVE DAY AHEAD: A dynamic weather system will bring windy and wet weather to
Alabama today. SPC maintains an “enhanced risk” (level 3/5) of severe
thunderstorms for parts of Northwest and West Alabama the rest of the state is
in a “slight risk” (level 2/5).



The main limiting factor in today’s severe weather potential is the lack of
surface based instability, but wind fields with the incoming system are
impressive. Here are the key messages

 * The window opens up for severe storms in far West Alabama around 8:00 a.m.
   The storms progress quickly eastward, and should be out of the state by 3-4
   p.m.
 * The main concern today will come from strong/damaging straight line winds
   with thunderstorms across Alabama. But, an isolated tornado or two is
   certainly possible, especially south of I-20 where instability values will be
   higher.
 * Gradient winds (not related to thunderstorms) will be strong today. Winds
   will average 15-30 mph, with gusts to 45 mph possible. This could bring down
   a few trees, and scattered power outages are very possible (if not likely).
 * Rain amounts should be under 1 inch for most places, and flooding is not
   expected.

As always, be sure you have a reliable way of hearing warnings today if they are
needed. NEVER an outdoor warning siren. The baseline is a NOAA Weather Radio,
and have emergency alerts enabled on your phone. Have helmets for everyone in
your safe place. If you live in a mobile home know the location of the nearest
shelter and how to get there quickly. Have transportation arranged.

THE WEEKEND: The weather will be colder and dry tomorrow and Sunday. Lows will
be in the 25-35 degree range both mornings, with highs in the 40s over North
Alabama. South Alabama will see highs in the low to mid 50s both days.


ARCTIC BLAST NEXT WEEK: The coldest air so far this season will blow into the
Deep South early next week, and there is a chance of some snow over North
Alabama as the cold air arrives late Monday, Monday night, and into Tuesday. For
now global models suggest the best chance of accumulating snow will be along and
north of I-20, with amounts generally under two inches. We should also mention
some freezing rain or sleet will be possible across the central counties of the
state.

   tornado in Selma

   unionizing campaign

Some travel impact is possible, but it is still too early to be specific. Once
we get today’s system out here, we will be able to focus on the wintry
precipitation Monday/Tuesday with a higher confidence forecast.

BE THE FIRST TO COMMENT

Temperatures will stay below freezing all day Tuesday, with wind chill values
dipping into the single digits. Air temperatures will be in the 7-14 degree
range over the northern half of Alabama by daybreak Wednesday, with upper teens
all the way down to the Gulf Coast. This will be very similar to what we
experienced in December 2022 make plans now for this cold wave.
