It has been a beautiful July Saturday across Central Alabama.
Plenty of sunshine, fair weather cumulus clouds and still relatively low humidities. The mercury hit 90F at Birmingham for the first time in ten days, but the lower dewpoints made it fairly tolerable.
Radars are nearly totally clear at mid-afternoon. A small shower had developed over East Alabama’s Randolph County, near Wedeowee.
Isolated thunderstorms were lined up along the Gulf Coast from southeastern Louisiana to Northwest Florida. Other storms were northeast of Nashville and showers were over eastern Arkansas. Those showers to our northwest are the signs of change, that will come as early as tomorrow.
That change will come in the form of increased showers and storms for Sunday. Some of the storms could be strong late in the day over the Tennessee Valley. Showers and storms will be a fairly common fixture in teh forecast through the week ahead.
