RADAR CHECK: A few scattered showers are across Central Alabama early this morning; rain and storms are more widespread to the west over North Mississippi, moving to the southeast. We expect scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms across Alabama today with a mix of sun and clouds; the high will be in the 81-85 degree range. Like recent days, the stronger thunderstorms will be very efficient rain producers, and some spots will see heavy amounts of rain. Continue reading →

RADAR CHECK: Rain and thunderstorms are over the northwest counties of Alabama early this morning around sunrise… some spots in this region have received over one inch of rain since midnight. For the rest of the state, the sky is mostly cloudy with temperatures generally in the low 70s. Alabama’s weather won’t change much today; we have “air you can wear” with high precipitable water values, so a number of showers and storms will form later today. These will be efficient rain producers, but organized severe weather or flash flooding for now is not expected. Continue reading →

RADAR CHECK: Showers and storms are increasing, especially over the central and southern part of Alabama this afternoon in a moist, unstable airmass. The storms are advancing northward, and many places will see a few passing showers or thunderstorms over the next 8 hours. Stronger storms will be capable of producing small hail and strong gusty winds… the main threat will come from heavy rain and some flooding issues. Continue reading →

RADAR CHECK: At sunrise we have a few showers over the northern third of Alabama, otherwise the sky is mostly cloudy across Alabama with temperatures in the 68-72 degree range for most places. The weather won’t change much today; warm and humid with some sun at times, and scattered showers and storms firing up again during the afternoon and evening hours. Like yesterday, where storms form they will be very efficient rain producers as we continue to have high precipitable water values in place. Continue reading →

Continue reading →

RADAR CHECK: Showers and thunderstorms persist across Alabama this afternoon, mostly south of I-59. Heavier storms are capable of producing small hail and strong gusty winds along with very frequent cloud to ground lightning.
