Occasional Showers/Storms Through Tomorrow
RADAR CHECK: A batch of showers is passing through the northern half of the state early this morning; not much thunder but the rain is heavy in spots. More showers and thunderstorms will form later today in the moist, unstable environment across Alabama, and a few strong storms are possible again. SPC has a “marginal risk” (level 1/5) of severe thunderstorms defined for roughly the southern 2/3 of the state. Continue reading

Scattered To Numerous Showers/Storms Later Today
UNSETTLED PATTERN: Moist, unstable air now covers all of Alabama, and we expect scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms to fire up later today and early tonight. The chance of any one spot getting wet today will be in the 70/80 percent range, and the high will be in the mid 80s for most communities. SPC has much of the state in a “marginal risk” (level 1/5) of severe thunderstorms; like yesterday heavier thunderstorms this afternoon could produce small hail and strong, gusty winds.
