Sun And Scattered Afternoon Storms
WARM, HUMID SUMMER DAY: Alabama’s weather won’t change much for the rest of the week. A blanket of moist air will continue to hang over Alabama and the Deep South, which is what you expect in mid-summer around here. And, like recent days, we will have to dodge scattered showers and thunderstorms, mostly during the afternoon and evening hours. It won’t rain everywhere; the chance of any one spot getting wet today is in the 50-60 percent range. Continue reading
Showers/Storms Thinning Out A Bit In Coming Days
RADAR CHECK: As advertised, we have numerous showers and thunderstorms across Alabama this afternoon. The stronger storms are producing very heavy rain, gusty winds, and lots of lightning. SPC maintains a low end, “marginal risk” (level 1/5) of severe thunderstorms for much of the state through the evening hours. Continue reading

A Blanket Of Moist Air Remains In Place This Week
MORE SHOWERS/STORMS LATER TODAY: The weather is fairly quiet across Alabama early this morning, but we are expect numerous showers and storms to form later today in the moist, tropical air in place, aided by an upper trough just to the west. The chance of any one spot getting wet today is 65-70 percent, and like recent days the stronger storms that form will produce heavy rain, gusty winds, and lots of lightning. Continue reading
Classic Summer Mix of Sun And Scattered Storms

Air You Can Wear; Scattered Showers/Storms Remain Possible
RADAR CHECK: So far showers and storms are scarce this afternoon over the northern half of Alabama… most of the action on radar is over the southern counties of the state, mainly south of U.S. 80. However, a very moist airmass remains in place, and we expect a number of showers and storms to form over the next few hours statewide. Otherwise, we have a mix of sun and clouds with temperatures mostly in the mid 80s. Continue reading
Midday Nowcast: Watching the Radar for Showers and Storms Later
A very muggy air mass remains in place across the state and that continues to allow for more clouds than sun with temperatures in the upper 70s and lower 80s for most locations. Continue reading

Warm, very humid, occasionally cloudy, and scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms developing. We have some rain early this morning over North Alabama, but most of the showers will come during the afternoon and evening hours. Continue reading
