Alabama Skies: Rainy weather coming Thursday for Alabama

Published 9:15 pm Wednesday, February 21, 2024

Our chance for rain arrives Thursday, but it won’t last nearly as long as the last few systems.

The more north one lives in Alabama, the higher chance of rain. Gulf Coast communities have a slight chance for a shower or two, but some southern Alabama communities will only have some clouds and gusty winds.

Northern communities could have some heavy rainfall late in the afternoon and evening with a thunderstorm or two possible.

Everyone in the state will have the risk of some gusty winds. We could have a few trees and large limbs come down with the threat of isolated power outages. It could also make driving difficult for larger vehicles and trucks.
