Unsettled Weather Tomorrow Through The Weekend
A FEW STORMS LATER TODAY: Alabama’s weather won’t change much today… the sky will be partly sunny and hazy, and a few random, pop-up storms will form this afternoon and early tonight. The high will be in the low 90s for most places, and odds of any one community getting wet are about one in four. Another words, very routine weather for August. Continue reading
Rain Chances Headed Higher

Hot Again Today; Higher Rain Chances Ahead
HOT AUGUST WEATHER: Birmingham’s official high yesterday was 93 degrees; we are expecting similar heat levels today with most communities climbing into the 91-95 degree range. The sky will be partly to mostly sunny, and it will be rather hazy due to some of the smoke from the wildfires in western Canada and the Northwest U.S. drifting in here in the high altitudes. A few pop-up storms are possible this afternoon, but they should be widely spaced… chance of any one spot getting wet is about one in five. Continue reading
