Scattered To Numerous Showers/Storms Tomorrow and Friday
RADAR CHECK: We have a classic case of random, scattered showers and thunderstorms on a summer afternoon across Alabama today. Winds aloft are light, and the thunderstorms are moving little. Meaning, some places are getting soaked, while others are dry. Heavier storms are producing strong, gusty winds and lots of lightning… they will fade after sunset. Continue reading
Afternoon Showers/Storms More Numerous Today
MORNING SUN, AFTERNOON STORMS: The upper ridge over the southern U.S. will weaken a bit in coming days… this means a general increase in the number of showers and thunderstorms during the afternoon and evening hours. Chance of any one community seeing rain today is around 50 percent, and close to 60 percent tomorrow and Friday. Most of the storms will come from about 12:00 noon to 10:00 p.m. Otherwise, look for a mix of sun and clouds each day with a high between 88 and 91 degrees. Continue reading
Showers/Storms More Numerous Later This Week
ANOTHER HOT LATE AUGUST DAY: We are forecasting a high in the 90-94 degree range this afternoon with a partly sunny sky; afternoon showers and storms will fire up during the heat of the day, but they will be widely scattered, and many communities will stay dry. Birmingham’s average high for August 28 is 90; the record high is 103 set in 1924. Continue reading
Showers/Storms To Increase Later This Week
HOT, MOSTLY DRY: On the maps this morning an upper ridge is centered over the region, meaning hot and mostly dry weather for Alabama today. With a good supply of sunshine we expect a high in the low 90s this afternoon; possibly a few mid 90s over the western and northern counties. While we can’t totally rule out a shower or storm this afternoon, odds of any one spot getting wet are only about one in ten. Continue reading
Mostly Dry and Warm
Today and into the first of the week ahead it is expected to be warm and mostly dry with highs in the lower half of the 90s. While an isolated shower will be possible, better chances for rain come for the latter part of the week due to a combination of afternoon heating, a stalling frontal boundary, and increased moisture. Continue reading
Several Dry Days Ahead
Dry with a slow warming trend will occur across Central Alabama thanks to a large upper ridge over the eastern US. High temperatures will gradually warm from near 90 today and Sunday into the lower half of the 90s for the week ahead. Continue reading
Humidity Levels Slowly Rise Over The Weekend

Dry Weather Continues Across Alabama
DRY DAYS: Not a single shower on radar across the great state of Alabama this afternoon as an unusually dry airmass continues to cover the state. The sky is mostly sunny, but hazy thanks to smoke being transported into the region by upper air winds out of the northwest. That smoke originates from the fires over western Canada and parts of the Northwest U.S. Continue reading
Dry With Low Humidity For Summer
Dry air continues to cover Alabama today; we expect a good supply of sunshine with low humidity values for summer; the high will be in the mid 80s in most places. Tomorrow, a shower could pop up during the afternoon hours over the southern counties of the state, but North/Central Alabama stays dry with a partly to mostly sunny sky. The high tomorrow will be in the upper 80s. Continue reading
