Alabama Weather Forecast: April 1, 2025
Forecaster James Spann reports that April 1st marks a delightful spring day in Alabama, featuring predominantly sunny skies and temperatures in the 70s, with South Alabama potentially reaching low 80s. As the week progresses, a strong upper ridge will create a warming trend, pushing temperatures into the 85-90 degree range, nearing record highs for early April. Isolated showers may appear in the northwest counties.
Record highs for Birmingham include 87°F on April 3rd (1999), 88°F on April 4th (1934), and April 5th (2010). However, an early record of 90°F occurred on March 21, 1907. Looking ahead to the weekend, Saturday is expected to remain summery with highs in the upper 80s before a change in weather. The ridge will begin to break down, allowing for potential showers and thunderstorms, particularly late Saturday night into Sunday morning, with an issued severe storm risk for northern and western counties.
As the week concludes, a significant drop in temperatures is forecasted, with North Alabama communities struggling to reach the 50s on Monday and Tuesday mornings possibly seeing lows in the 30s, suggesting frost and freeze conditions could affect the northern half of the state. With a dry week following the anticipated storms, residents should prepare for an abrupt shift to cooler weather.
