Storms Fewer In Number Today; Heat Levels Rise Next Week
RADAR CHECK: At daybreak we have a band of showers and thunderstorms dropping southward through the southern third of Alabama, and a handful of isolated showers over the Tennessee Valley of far North Alabama. Better chance of strong storms today will be over extreme South Alabama, where SPC has defined a “marginal risk” of severe thunderstorms due to the potential for some hail and strong gusty winds. Continue reading
Hot And Humid; Scattered Thunderstorms
RADAR CHECK: Scattered showers and thunderstorms persist over the northern quarter of the state this afternoon, but Central and South Alabama dry with a partly to mostly sunny sky.

Humid Days With A Mix Of Sun And Scattered Storms
RADAR CHECK: We have a few scattered thunderstorms over Northeast Alabama early this morning moving eastward… the rest of the state is dry with temperatures generally in the low and mid 70s. Look for a mix of sun and clouds today with more random, scattered storms firing up this afternoon and early tonight. Chance of any one spot getting wet today is 50-60 percent, and the high will be in the upper 80s for most communities. Continue reading
Routine Summer Weather This Week With Random, Pop-Up Storms Around
HOT, HUMID DAYS; A FEW STORMS: It is that time of the year when the weather doesn’t change too much, and we have some risk of a shower or storm just about every afternoon. That will be the case this week; the forecast will include partly sunny, hot, humid days with highs around 90 degrees. And, on daily basis, we will deal with “scattered, mostly afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms”. Continue reading
Strong Storms Over Northwest Alabama This Evening
RADAR CHECK: Most of Alabama is dry this afternoon, but strong storms are entering the northwest corner of the state ahead of an upper trough. A few storms over Northwest Alabama this evening could produce strong gusty winds… SPC maintains a “marginal risk” for areas north of a line from Hamilton to Huntsville. Away from the storms, the sky is partly to mostly sunny with temperatures mostly in the low 90s… right at seasonal averages for mid-August. Continue reading
A Few Strong Storms Later Today Over Northwest Alabama
HOT, HUMID DAY AHEAD: We expect a pretty decent amount of sun across Alabama today with a high around 90 degrees this afternoon, but a few pop up storms are possible during the peak of the heat. The better chance of thunderstorms is across the Tennessee Valley of North Alabama, and SPC has a low end “marginal risk” (level 1/5) of severe storms defined for areas north of a line from Hamilton to Decatur to Huntsville. Continue reading
Showers/Storms To Increase In Coming Days
RADAR CHECK: We have a few scattered showers and thunderstorms across Central Alabama at mid-afternoon, in a broad band from near Centreville to Clanton to Auburn.

Showers/Storms Fewer In Number Today/Tomorrow
A FEW AFTERNOON SHOWERS/STORMS: We do note a few isolated showers early this morning over the northwest corner of Alabama, but the rest of the state is rain-free as the day begins with temperatures around 70 degrees. Upper ridging builds over the region temporarily, and that should mean a decrease in the number of showers and thunderstorms both today and tomorrow; odds of any one spot getting wet both days are in the 20-30 percent range. Continue reading
Moisture Levels Header Higher; Scattered Storms Return
RADAR CHECK: We have a few scattered showers and thunderstorms over the southern half of Alabama this afternoon… mainly south of U.S. 80, where moisture is deeper. The northern half of the state is dry, and temperatures are generally in the 87-90 degree range. Scattered storms over South Alabama will fade a bit tonight after sunset. Continue reading
