Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Alabama Weather Podcast — it's Tuesday, February 24th.

Step outside right now and you'll feel 19 degrees biting at your face. But . This is winter's last stand. By this afternoon, we're flipping the script — 30 degrees warmer in just a few hours. It's like someone hit fast-forward on spring.

Central Alabama starts at 24 degrees around 5 A.M. Dress warmly for the morning commute. But by 3 P.M., you're hitting 53 degrees — jacket-optional weather. Tonight, clouds roll in and lows settle near 41 degrees. Tomorrow? 65 degrees and mostly cloudy, with rain showers sneaking in late.

Down along the coast, you're waking up to 31 degrees around 6 A.M. That's frost-on-the-windshield cold. But by 3 P.M., you're at 57 degrees with a gentle breeze off the Gulf. Wednesday brings 72 degrees and partly sunny skies. Rain chances creep in Thursday, so enjoy the dry stretch while it lasts.

Up north, the morning chill bites harder — 21 degrees around 6 A.M. That's the kind of cold that makes your breath hang in the air. But the rebound is just as dramatic, hitting 52 degrees by afternoon. Wednesday warms to 62 degrees, but rain showers become likely overnight, setting up Thursday's storms.

Here's your heads-up for the week ahead. Highs climb into the 60s and 70s by Thursday, but showers and thunderstorms arrive late Wednesday night. The coast could see heavy rain and gusty winds. Northern Alabama might hear thunder rumble through. Friday, we dry out. And the weekend? Sunny and near 70 degrees — perfect for outdoor plans.

One more thing — we're gaining 2 minutes of daylight today. Spring's on the horizon.

That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Alabama Weather Podcast — it's Monday, February 23rd.

Folks, step outside right now and you'll feel winter biting back. We're at 30 degrees statewide, but the wind makes it feel **brutal**. Up north, wind chills are scraping 20 degrees at 6 A.M. — that's frostbite-in-minutes cold. A Cold Weather Advisory runs until 8 A.M., so cover that exposed skin if you're heading out.

Central Alabama sits at 25 degrees, but northwest winds at 15 miles an hour drop the feel to 20 degrees. Down on the coast, you're starting at 33, wind chills near 24 by 7 A.M. Still cold, just not dangerous.

Sunshine floods in today, but don't expect much warmth. Northern Alabama peaks at 38 degrees around 3 P.M. — that's 20 degrees below normal for late February. Central Alabama hits 41 by 4 P.M. The coast? You're the warm spot at 54 degrees, also around 4 P.M. Winds stay breezy all day, gusting to 25 miles an hour near the water.

Tonight's the coldest night of the week. Northern Alabama drops to 20 degrees. Central Alabama hits 23. The coast settles at 29. But here's the good news — winds finally calm down overnight. No brutal wind chills by Tuesday morning.

And that's when the thaw begins. Tuesday afternoon jumps to 52 degrees up north, 54 central, 57 on the coast. Wednesday? We're talking 62 north, 64 central. And 72 near the coast. That's a 24-degree swing in two days.

But warmth brings moisture. Thursday's cold front delivers scattered showers and possible thunderstorms, especially coastal. Highs hit upper 60s to mid-70s before the front arrives. Friday dries out briefly, then another shower chance lingers into the weekend. By Sunday, we're back to sunshine and 70s.

One bright spot today — we're gaining 2 minutes of daylight. Sunrise at 6:24 A.M., sunset at 5:40 P.M.

Protect those pipes tonight. This is the last deep freeze of the week.

That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Alabama Weather Podcast — it's Sunday, February 22nd. If you stepped outside already, you felt it: winter just showed up fashionably late. And it brought wind as a plus-one.

We're under a Wind Advisory until 6 P.M. With gusts hitting 35 miles an hour. That's the kind of wind that'll steal your trash can and relocate it three houses down. Northern Alabama woke up at 32 degrees, Central at 36. And the coast at 43. But here's the kicker — by tonight, we're all freezing.

Up north, you'll peak at 44 degrees around 3 P.M. Then temperatures nosedive to 22 by 4 A.M. Wind chills drop to 21 degrees. That's brutal for late February, folks. Central Alabama climbs to 48 by 3 P.M., then crashes to 25 by 5 A.M. Northwest winds at 17 miles an hour keep the chill locked in. Down on the coast, you're the warm spot today — 58 degrees around 2 P.M. But even you drop to 33 by 4 A.M., feeling like 27 with those northwest winds kicking in.

If you're heading out tonight. Wind chills in the teens mean frostbite doesn't ask permission. Secure anything loose outside — this wind's got plans.

Here's your heads-up for the week ahead. Monday stays cold, highs in the upper 30s north and low 50s south. Another freeze Monday night. Tuesday warms up to the mid-50s statewide. Wednesday jumps to the mid-60s with a slight chance of rain overnight. Thursday's the wet one — likely rain and thunderstorms as a front rolls through, highs near 70. Friday and Saturday dry out, settling back into the mid-60s to low 70s.

Quick favor — if this helped you plan your day, share it with a friend who could use a weather heads-up.

That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly, and welcome to the Alabama Weather Podcast. It's Saturday, February 17th.

Folks, Alabama is serving up a choose your own adventure today. Warm and breezy down south. Cool and damp up north. A 20 degree spread across the state.

Here's the deal. If you're waking up in northern Alabama, you've got upper 40s and clouds that just won't quit. Showers are likely today, so grab that umbrella before you walk out the door. Light northeast winds at 5 miles an hour. Tonight dips into the mid 40s with that damp air clinging like a wet towel.

Drive south into central Alabama and things warm up a touch. Mid 50s with scattered showers possible. Not a washout, but you'll want to keep one eye on the sky. Overnight holds steady in the low 50s.

Now head down to the coast. Mobile and the Gulf are winning today. Upper 60s under partly cloudy skies with just a slight chance of a passing shower. Southwest winds at 10 miles an hour give it that early spring feel. Lows tonight stay mild in the upper 50s. Perfect evening for a walk along the water.

Quick note on sunrise. Six thirty two this morning, sunset at five twenty. We're gaining nearly 3 minutes of daylight every day now. Air quality sits at moderate, so if you're sensitive, take it easy outdoors.

Here's your heads up for the week ahead. We're stuck in a mild, unsettled pattern. More clouds than sun with scattered showers lingering into early next week. Temperatures stay above normal, especially along the coast. Northern Alabama warms gradually. No big storms lurking, but that damp air isn't leaving anytime soon.

Alright. If you're enjoying these daily updates, share us with a friend. It really does help more folks find the show.

Bundle up if you're heading out up north. Stay safe out there. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly, and welcome to the Alabama Weather Podcast. It's Friday, February 23rd, and folks, the southern half of this state woke up thinking it's April.

Here's the deal. Step outside in coastal Alabama and you'll feel 79 degrees. That's not a typo. Nearly 80 degrees in February, with a south wind pushing 10 miles an hour. There's a chance of a passing shower today, so keep an umbrella handy. Tonight stays mild in the 60s. Tomorrow you're looking at 75 degrees under partly cloudy skies. Perfect weather for hitting the beach early if you ask me.

Now drive north toward Birmingham. Central Alabama sits at a comfortable 72 degrees with a light northeast breeze. A slight chance of showers, but nothing to cancel plans over. Tonight dips into the mid 50s. Saturday brings low 70s again. Honestly, that's the kind of weather where your porch just calls your name.

Keep heading up toward Huntsville and things cool off. Northern Alabama checks in at 69 degrees with calm winds. You've got a slightly better chance of seeing a shower up here. Tonight drops into the upper 40s. You'll want a light jacket if you're heading out after dark. Tomorrow rebounds near 70.

Quick note on the daylight situation. We're gaining nearly three minutes today. Sunrise at 6:33, sunset at 5:18. Air quality is moderate, so if you're sensitive, take it easy outside.

Here's your heads up for the week ahead. Saturday looks dry and gorgeous statewide. Sunday brings a slight uptick in shower chances. Nothing severe, just spring doing that thing where it can't quite commit. Early next week stays mild with highs in the low 70s. By midweek, another round of rain could sneak in. Bundle up isn't in the vocabulary yet, and I'm not complaining.

Alright. If this forecast helped you plan your Friday, share it with a friend who needs a heads up on the weather.

That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. Stay safe out there!
