PATTERN FLIP: The long awaited “pattern flip” is about 7-10 days away (toward the end of next week). The upper ridge that has been keeping us warm and mostly dry will finally break down, opening the door for colder air and more frequent rain producing systems.

Across social media platforms you will hear rumors of tornadoes and snow, but here is the situation this afternoon…

*Some rain is likely ahead of the front and upper trough over the latter half of next week, but there is no clear signal of any severe thunderstorm threat for the Deep South at this point.

*Yes, a cold core upper low/trough will be over the eastern and southern U.S. by the end of the week, but forecast thermal profiles really don’t support any meaningful snow around here. Yes, it can happen, but snow flakes are very rare in Alabama in November.

*Following the rain there is a chance we could see a freeze at some point in the November 22-25 time frame, but it is way too early for a specific forecast.

*A hurricane could very well impact the Florida Peninsula (Sara) by the middle of next week, but the upper air changes should keep this far south of the Central Gulf Coast.

Of course, with any weather forecast things could change, so watch for updates in coming days.

Birmingham's Lite 99 Radio is currently working with several local nonprofits and is looking to partner with additional nonprofits in and close to the Birmingham area. We would be glad to assist in any way possible, free of charge, of course. :)

We look forward to hearing from you!

The LITE is back on in Birmingham! Our server was restored this morning so we are once again providing the Magic City the VERY BEST in easy listening favorites from yesterday AND today.

Our online broadcast should once again be accessible via the mobile TuneIn, Simple Radio and Online Radio box apps. Please be aware that our listing on Radio Garden has been temporarily disabled, as their platform typically will drop station listings if they remain offline for a day or two. We're unsure if the listing will be automatically restored now that we are back online, so we may have to contact them to add the station back to their database. You should be able to listen via our website and listen link pages (lite99radio.com, lite99.com, birminghamlite.com and lite99online.com) as well.

Thank you for your patience the past couple of days that we have been off the air. And as always...thanks for listening to Birmingham's Lite 99 Radio!

Birmingham's LIte 99 is currently not broadcasting as of 6:30 am CT this morning. Our server is experiencing difficulties this morning and is offline at this time. It appears this is not limited to our station but all stations operating on the aforementioned server.

We hope to have the "Lite" turned back on for Birmingham soon! We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience.

Thanks for listening to Birmingham's station for Lite & Easy Favorites, Lite 99 Radio
