I’ll start by saying that today sure is proof that the title of this post is no joke – indeed, today has been just wonderful across the Tennessee Valley, with our highs, as expected, approaching that near-70 range widespread across the area. That is to make no mention of just how clear and crisp the […]

If you’ve been out and about this Weekend, you’ll know it was a little cool, a tad dreary, and generally not what one would call “Spring-like” – but fret not, because it’s coming back soon. To kick off our look at the forecast, the news is good – we won’t be having so much in

Despite those somewhat milky grey skies, we haven’t had a terrible weather day as far as early March goes – with those upper-50s and some of us in NW AL tipping the scales at 60, it’s been a nice enough day for those outdoor errands and for those of us who want a cozy day

Now that we’re headed into March, it probably won’t come as a surprise to any of you to hear that we’re keeping this slightly more active pattern around – we’ve of course been no stranger to severe weather events of one variety or another over these last few months, and as we’ve been discussing in

As far as ways to start the Weekend go, today was not a bad example at all – we managed a handful of lower 60s today (though many of us stuck around the upper 50s), and we were treated to partly cloudy skies. In some ways today was also a “chapstick weather” kind of day,

After a some nice tastes of Spring over the last couple of weeks, the big story for the upcoming week is that of our well-advertised heavy rain chances that begin in earnest Tuesday, and last perhaps as late as into the next Weekend. Shown here on the left is one tool we use to see

If you’re anything like me, you certainly prefer this over what the last 3-4

We often take for granted the vast array of tools at our disposal when it comes to weather observation and weather forecasting, and that makes it easy to forget just how incredible a lot of this technology is when you step back and break down how it all works. My specialty, for example, is doppler

After a nice enough day as far as January goes, featuring only patchy upper-level clouds and typical temperatures for this time of year, we’re back to freezing (and below) for tonight and into early Sunday morning. Heading into tomorrow, we start to see the “miss” part of the “hit or miss” Weekend, compared to how

Hopefully you enjoyed those 40s and near 50 temps of Yesterday… because their time in the Valley is over! With the impending arrival of truly frigid, Arctic (literally, it came from Siberia!) air, I thought I’d take a look today at simple, useful tips to counter the cold as we start to approach wind-chill values
