MAJOR WINTER STORM ISSUES EXPECTED TO OUR NORTH; STRONG STORMS POSSIBLE SUNDAY LOCALLY… Significant, long-lasting winter weather impacts are expected across parts of north Mississippi, north Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia, and surrounding states over the next 3-4 days as a major winter storm moves east across the region. Thankfully, our local area in south Alabama will remain in the warm sector, likely preventing any significant ice issues locally. We’re seeing indications that a low-end risk of a few isolated severe storms may happen on Sunday ahead of an advancing cold front.
SEVERE WEATHER TIMING – SUNDAY… 8AM to 6PM Sunday will be the window for the low-end severe weather risk on Sunday, January 25, 2026 across south Alabama and northwest Florida. The concern will be gusty winds in the strongest of the storms and perhaps a tornado or two. Very cold, drier air arrives Sunday night. Wind chill values will be in the 10s by Monday morning at 6AM.
WHAT TO EXPECT – TOMORROW AND SATURDAY… Spotty rain showers will be possible across the region tomorrow and into Saturday. I expect showers to remain widely spaced tomorrow and during the daytime hours on Saturday. The more significant rain will start Saturday night and last into Sunday. Rain amounts of 1-2″ (in total) will be likely across a large chunk of the region. Afternoon high temperatures tomorrow and Saturday will be in the upper 60s…
