(6:00 AM EST– 11/17/24)
Looks like a “Big Deal” storm system will hopefully bring in some drenching rain Tuesday. An important Cold front, teamed up with a strong upper trough will approach. Even some of that SARA moisture will get picked up by this trough. Even that will help, especially across the southern counties where 2-4”+ are a good bet. The rest of central Alabama could easily see 1-2” between late Monday night through early Wed AM. Even a few strong to severe storms are possible. A Marginal Severe Risk covers the southwestern third of the state. A tornado or two can’t be rued out. This is just a teaser. MUCH cooler air will follow the storm system. I will have a complete Blog and Forecast video in the morning, in the 4 o’clock hour.
The best chance for a little frost would probably be next Saturday and Sunday morning. Average date of the first freeze is November 18.
