AWN Monday 3/9/26 Afternoon Statewide Forecast Update from Drew McCombs

Meteorologist Drew McCombs with the Alabama Weather Network delivers your Monday afternoon statewide forecast update for March 9, 2026. Showers and thunderstorms are pushing into northwestern Alabama as of early-to-mid afternoon, with the leading edge entering Lauderdale County. Drew walks through live sky cam views from Florence, Russellville, Sulligent, Double Springs, Hoover, Tuscaloosa, Mount Cheaha, Livingston, and Fairhope, showing the approach of clouds and rain shafts from the west while much of the state remains warm and sunny — temperatures already hitting 80 degrees in several locations with dew points well into the 60s. A slight risk (level 2) of severe weather is in place for essentially all of north Alabama today, with the primary threats being large hail and damaging wind gusts over 60 mph. Tornado chances exist but are considered low. Drew reviews the SPC outlook, hail and wind probability maps, and the latest HRRR future cast, which suggests tonight's storms will be most active across the Tennessee Valley and north Alabama, with the southern half of the state potentially seeing limited activity. The team will be live all evening breaking in with updates as needed. Looking further ahead, a second and potentially more impactful round of storms is expected late Wednesday night into Thursday, followed by a sharp cooldown and possible frost late in the week. The weekend looks warm and pleasant. 📍 Full forecast and updates: alabamaweathernetwork.com | #alwx ⏱️ Timestamps: 0:00 — Opening and storms approaching northwestern Alabama 0:45 — Sky cam tour: Florence, Russellville, Sulligent, Double Springs 1:50 — Sky cam continued: Hoover, Tuscaloosa, Mount Cheaha, Livingston, Fairhope 2:45 — 7-day outlook summary (storms tonight, Tuesday lull, Wed-Thu storms, cold snap) 3:15 — Current temperatures and dew points across the state 3:50 — Tonight's forecast lows and tomorrow's highs 4:15 — Water vapor satellite and upper-level pattern discussion (Baja low, Wednesday system) 4:45 — Severe weather alerts — new severe thunderstorm warning just west of Alabama, north MS watch 5:10 — SPC severe weather outlook — slight risk details for north Alabama 5:40 — Hail and wind probability maps 6:10 — Future cast walkthrough — storms tonight mainly north AL, quieter south, clearing by midnight 6:55 — Wednesday-Thursday level 2 risk discussion 7:20 — 7-day forecast for North Alabama 8:00 — 7-day forecast for South Alabama 8:35 — Closing
