More storms Sunday and Memorial Day, some could be severe
Showers and storms became scattered about Saturday afternoon. A few storms were strong to severe, capable of damaging winds and hail. A complex of storms developed during the late afternoon and evening across Mississippi and west Alabama. These storms were intense for a while during the early evening in west Alabama. However, they started losing steam after sunset. Although, they may continue east across the rest of our area into Saturday night.
The severe risk essentially looks over for Saturday night. After the large area of rain and rumbles fades away or moves out of our area, we may trend relatively dry into Sunday morning. The day likely begins with a mostly cloudy sky, and temperatures in the upper 60s to low 70s. The sky becomes partly cloudy for rain-free locations during the afternoon. However, showers and storms re-develop by the afternoon, and remain scattered about into the evening.
Some storms may become strong to severe Sunday too, capable of damaging wind or hail. A marginal (level 1/5) severe risk covers much of our area, with a slight (level 2/5) severe risk across central Alabama. Most of the storms wind down Sunday night, but more showers and storms form by Memorial Day afternoon. A few storms may become strong to severe, capable of damaging wind or hail, through Monday evening.
The rest of next week features daily round of rain and storms. Each day features at least scattered daytime activity. A near-stationary front draped across the southeast during the week may finally push south of our area as a cold front next weekend. That means we may finally have drier weather with sunshine for the last day of May and first day of June.
