We have noted the big buildup of towering cumulus clouds across this part of the state at midday, and it sure looks like we will have to insert the chance of scattered showers this afternoon since some have already popped up on radar.
The first shower of the day is near Ragland, in St. Clair County. Forecast soundings suggest our surface based CAPE values should be in the 1,000 to 1,500 j/kg range this afternoon with hardly any cap. Moisture is deeper than forecast…
I will have a more complete forecast discussion here a little later this afternoon…
