Classic June Weather To Continue
SUN, HEAT, HUMIDITY, STORMS: We have your classic case of random, scattered thunderstorms across Alabama this afternoon. As I write this most of the showers were south of I-20… rotating around an MCV (mesoscale convective vortex) over Central Alabama. Continue reading

Humid Summer Days With Scattered Storms
RADAR CHECK: As you might expect on a June afternoon, some people are getting wet, while others are enjoying a sunny sky.

Muggy June Days; Scattered Storms
