BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WBRC) – The First Alert Weather Day has ended, but we may still hear some rumbles overnight as scattered storms and pockets of locally heavy rain impact the area.
The rain and storms will gradually diminish overnight, with much calmer weather on Tuesday. The sky will be mostly cloudy on Tuesday, with a 20% chance for isolated showers, and highs in the 80s.
THE NEXT BIG THING: Wednesday starts off dry, warm, and muggy, before a chance for heavier rain and storms arrive late Wednesday night. Recent model runs have backed off considerably on instability, which is an encouraging trend. Even so, we will continue to highlight a First Alert Weather Day for the potential of heavier rain, strong straight-line wind gusts, and hail from late Wednesday night through Thursday morning, followed by some afternoon clearing. Behind this system, expect a sharp cool-down, with lows dropping into the upper 30s and lower 40s by Friday morning.
LOOKING AHEAD: We’re also tracking signs of another surge of even colder air around St. Patrick’s Day. That next system could bring another round of heavier rain and storms Sunday night into Monday, followed by the potential for freezing temperatures. It’s an active pattern ahead, so stay weather alert and check back frequently for updates.
