About this listen

 Good morning. Alabama. I'm Michael Mosby. Step outside right now and you're walking straight into a wall of fog. Dense fog is blanketing the state this morning, cutting visibility down to a quarter mile or less in spots. Give yourself extra time if you're heading out. It should lift by 10 A.M., but until then, slow down and keep your headlights on. Once that fog clears, temperatures climb into the upper 70s to low 80s statewide — unseasonably warm for early March. Mobile hits 80 degrees. Birmingham reaches 77. Up in Huntsville, 76. But don't get too comfortable with that warmth, because the real story kicks in this afternoon. Thunderstorms fire up across central and northern Alabama between 2 and 7 P.M. These aren't your average spring showers. We're talking strong to severe storms with damaging wind gusts and large hail, potentially up to two inches in diameter. That's golf ball sized hail that'll dent your car. The coast stays quieter with just a slight chance of rain, but inland counties need to stay alert. Have multiple ways to receive warnings this afternoon. Tonight, scattered showers linger with lows in the low 60s — mild and muggy. Here's your week ahead. Tuesday brings a break with partly sunny skies and highs jumping into the low 80s — 40 degrees above normal. Wednesday stays warm near 80, but another round of severe weather arrives Wednesday night into Thursday morning. That system brings damaging winds, heavy rain. And possibly a few tornadoes. Then the bottom drops out. Thursday's high? Only 58 to 69 degrees — a shocking 40 degrees plunge from the day before. Friday morning could see patchy frost with lows in the upper 30s to low 40s. The weekend rebounds nicely with sunshine and highs back in the 70s. If you're liking these daily updates, a quick rating goes a long way. See you this afternoon.
