James Spann’s Alabama Weather Network Coverage includes Randolph County (And Lake Wedowee)
A big weather win for Randolph County residents starts today!
James Spann, widely regarded as Alabama’s most trusted weatherman, has officially launched the Alabama Weather Network — a 24/7 digital weather channel covering all 67 counties in the state. And yes, that means Randolph County is now on his radar in a way it’s never been before.
Statewide Coverage — Including Our Backyard
For years, parts of Alabama — especially rural areas — have been left out of comprehensive severe weather coverage. Spann is changing that. Beginning today, Monday, August 11 at noon, the Alabama Weather Network goes live, providing constant weather updates, forecasts, and, most importantly, wall-to-wall live coverage during severe weather events.
“If there’s a tornado warning or high-impact weather anywhere in Alabama, we’ll be there, on the air, until it’s over,” Spann says.
What Makes the Alabama Weather Network Different
This isn’t just a weather channel — it’s a statewide safety tool. Features include:
A team of Skywatchers across Alabama
An extensive camera network to see conditions as they happen
Cutting-edge drone technology for unique, real-time views of storms and damage
Spann’s 47 years in meteorology have taken him down Alabama’s back roads, building a deep knowledge of our geography, culture, and microclimates. “I love this state, and I know it better than anyone,” he says. “Now I can protect Alabamians in all 67 counties.”

The Alabama Weather Network is designed to be accessible anywhere:
Mobile & Tablet: Alabama Weather Network app and website
Streaming TV: Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV

Why This Matters for Randolph County
