We expect scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms across Alabama today with a mix of sun and clouds; the high will be in the 81-85 degree range.

RADAR CHECK: Rain and thunderstorms are over the northwest counties of Alabama early this morning around sunrise… some spots in this region have received over one inch of rain since midnight. For the rest of the state, the sky is mostly cloudy with temperatures generally in the low 70s. Alabama’s weather won’t change much today; we have “air you can wear” with high precipitable water values, so a number of showers and storms will form later today. These will be efficient rain producers, but organized severe weather or flash flooding for now is not expected. Continue reading →
