April weather forecast
Alabama, USA

April in Alabama marks the full embrace of spring, with the entire state experiencing warmer temperatures and an evident departure from the last vestiges of winter. The northeast regions, which in previous months harbored cooler conditions, now revel in the warmth, even if they remain slightly cooler than the southern parts.

In central Alabama, the dominance of mild to warm temperatures becomes more consistent. The morning frosts that were still a possibility in March have now largely disappeared. Coastal areas, continuously tempered by the Gulf's influence, enjoy warmth and pleasant conditions. The nights, while warmer than the preceding months, remain comfortably cool, offering respite from the increasing daytime heat.

Rainfall continues its trend from March, with April showers dotting the state. While the frequency of rain remains, the intensity can vary, resulting in periods of heavy downpour interspersed with lighter drizzles. April still lies within Alabama's tornado season, which means the potential for severe weather, including tornadoes and thunderstorms, remains relatively high, especially when compared to the earlier months of the year.

Hailstorms, a characteristic of springtime in Alabama, can still make their appearance, though their frequency starts to wane as the month progresses. The influence of tropical systems from the Gulf of Mexico becomes more evident, occasionally contributing to the volatile weather patterns.

April is warm in the spring season in Alabama, with 8 hours of daily sunshine and significant precipitation. The wet conditions last for 8 to 10 days in the month and register 4" (102mm) to 5" (127mm) of rainfall.

Comparatively, April bridges the gap between the rainy spring season and the imminent hot summer. Areas like Valley Head, previously noted for cooler temperatures, now align more closely with the state's general weather trend. As April winds down, Alabama gears up to enter the hotter, more humid months, starting with the increasing temperatures of May.
