Routine Summer Weather For Alabama; Eyes On The Tropics
ROUTINE AUGUST WEATHER: Alabama’s weather won’t change much for the rest of the week. Look for partly sunny, hot, humid days with random, scattered showers and thunderstorms around each day, mostly between 1:00 and 10:00 p.m. The chance of any one neighborhood seeing rain each afternoon will be in the 30-40 percent range, and afternoon highs will be in the 90-93 degree range.

Sun, Heat, Scattered Afternoon Storms
RADAR CHECK: We have the usual array of random, scattered showers and thunderstorms across Alabama this afternoon. Stronger storms are producing heavy rain and lots of lightning… they are moving to the east and will gradually end tonight after sunset. Away from the showers, temperatures are mostly in the low 90s; the average high for Birmingham on August 9 is 91. Continue reading
Midday Nowcast: Heat, Humidity, Scattered Storms
Showers and storms will pop-up on the radar by the afternoon hours, and these will be randomly scattered about the Alabama landscape. Continue reading
Very Typical August Weather This Week
JUST WHAT YOU EXPECT IN SUMMER: A flat upper ridge covers the Deep South, and will remain in place through the week. This keeps the main mid-latitude westerly winds aloft (the jet stream) well to the north, and will set the stage for very routine August weather. We are forecasting partly sunny days with the daily round of random, scattered, mostly afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms. Continue reading
Heat Levels Creeping Up Next Week
RADAR CHECK: Most of the showers and storms across Alabama are over the western half of the state at mid-afternoon, otherwise we have a mix of sun and clouds across Alabama today with temperatures in the mid to upper 80s. We will maintain the chance of scattered showers and thunderstorms through tonight as an upper trough approaches. Continue reading
Scattered Showers/Storms Develop Later Today
SUN AND STORMS: An upper trough will bring an increase in the number of scattered showers and thunderstorms to Alabama today and tomorrow, but it still won’t rain everywhere. The chance of any one spot getting wet is 30-40 percent, and most of the showers will come from about 1:00 until 10:00 p.m. Otherwise, look for a mix of sun and clouds with a high in the 86-90 degree range. Continue reading
Scattered Showers/Storms Becoming More Numerous Tomorrow
RADAR CHECK: As expected, showers are few and far between across Alabama this afternoon. Most of them are north and west of Birmingham… they are small and short lived. Most of the state is dry with a partly sunny sky; temperatures are mostly in the mid to upper 80s. The average high for Birmingham on August 5 is 91. Continue reading

A Few Isolated Showers Later Today; Temps Stay Below Average
ANOTHER PLEASANT MORNING: A relatively dry airmass covers North Alabama this morning, and once again some of the cooler places have dipped into the 60-65 degree range around daybreak for a little taste of fall. Look for a partly sunny sky today across the state today with a few isolated showers or storms this afternoon and this evening. The chance of any one spot getting wet is in the 10-20 percent range, and the high will be in the upper 80s. Continue reading
Showers Remain Isolated Tomorrow; Temps Below Average
