RADAR CHECK: We have a number of showers and thunderstorms across Alabama this afternoon; the stronger storms are producing heavy rain. But, the sun is out in some places with temperatures mostly in the 80s. We note a slow cyclonic motion with the showers today thanks to a broad low pressure area over Alabama; showers and storms will fade late tonight after sunset. Continue reading →

SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS: The overall weather pattern won’t change much across Alabama through Friday. Warm, humid days, intervals of sun, and a number of showers and storms each day, especially during the afternoon and evening hours. Stronger storms will dump heavy amounts of rain, and isolated flooding issues are possible Continue reading →

RADAR CHECK: The northern half of Alabama is relatively dry at mid-afternoon with only isolated showers, but showers and storms are extensive to the west over East Mississippi, and over the southwest counties of Alabama. Flash flood warnings were required for parts of Baldwin County, where over three inches of rain came down this morning. A number of showers and thunderstorms will develop over North/Central Alabama over the next 6-8 hours in a moist, unstable airmass. Away from showers, temperatures are mostly in the upper 80s.

SUN AND STORMS: A moist, unstable airmass will sit over Alabama for the foreseeable future, and with an upper trough north and west of the state that means scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms on a daily basis through the weekend. It won’t be an all-day rain, or a washout, but just know that you will deal with a few passing showers or storms, especially from about 1:00 until 11:00 p.m. Continue reading →

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 →

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.

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 →
