Regional radars are clear across Alabama. The nearest precipitation to the state is over the Florida Panhandle and extreme Southeast Georgia.
Temperatures are rising into the middle 80s at this hour on thier way to near 90.
The record high at Birmingham is 93F. Probably close but no cigar. The records at BHM for Monday and Tuesday are both 91F.
Satellite photos are showing lots of cumulus development generally west of I-65 and north of US-80. Drier air covers the northeastern quarter of the state and there are fewer clouds, although it is still partly cloudy.
Showers will be nearly non-existent this afternoon. Looks like the best chance (and still a small one) for any would be along the US-82 corridor from Montgomery to Tuscaloosa to Columbus.
The morning run of the GFS shows the next front arriving on Tuesday with limited moisture and little in the way of rainfall.
In the tropics…our next system will likely come out of the western Caribbean. There are increasing signs that a depression will form in the next couple of days. Its future is up in the air, although a path into the central Gulf looks out of the question…could be Cuba/South Florida/Bahamas, could be southern Yucatan…could be Honduras.
