\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

An approaching front from the northwest will stall over Northwest Alabama late today. It is bringing some rain and storms mainly the northern half of the state today, but it will not rain everywhere.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A few storms could be strong, and the SPC has much of North and West Alabama included in a \u201cmarginal risk\u201d (level 1 of 5) of severe storms today, but the overall threat is very low with weak wind fields and lack of dynamic support. But a few storms could produce hail and gusty winds. Highs this afternoon are in the 80s.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

BIRMINGHAM ALMANAC: For April 21st, the average high for Birmingham is 76\u00b0 and the average low is 54\u00b0. The record high is 92\u00b0 set in 1987, while the record low is 31\u00b0 set in 1953. We average 0.16\u201d of precipitation on this date and the record value is 1.70\u201d set in 1928.<\/p>\n

ACROSS THE USA: A storm system shifting across the Great Lakes will bring light to moderate snow over parts of region today. Further south, scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected along and ahead of a cold front from Michigan to east Texas. Gusty winds and dry conditions will produce elevated to critical fire weather over the central High Plains today. Red Flag Warnings have been issued.<\/p>\n

TOMORROW: With the stalled front in place, we will continue to mention the chance of showers and thunderstorms statewide, but the higher rain coverage will remain over the northern counties. Due to clouds and showers, highs tomorrow will hold in the 70s. <\/p>\n

REST OF WEEK: The front begins to life northward by midweek and showers and storms become fewer in number with only isolated showers and storms possible on a daily basis. Most of these will occur during the afternoon and evening hours, peak heating of the day, but the chance of any spot seeing rain is less than 20 percent. It will remain warm with temperatures staying above average with highs well into the 80s, and low will be in those soothing 60s. The overall pattern doesn\u2019t change as we roll into the weekend. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

RACE WEEKEND: The weather will be warm and mostly dry at Talladega Friday through Sunday. The chance of an afternoon shower is small (20 percent or less), and highs will be in the 80s. Great weather for all the race weekend actives. <\/p>\n
