Rinse and Repeat Forecast
Hot and humid weather continues across the state, and we just don’t see much change in the overall weather pattern this time of year as we stay in the doldrums of summer. For today, the sky across Central Alabama will be partly to mostly clear with the typical cumulus clouds overhead that form during a summertime day. By this afternoon, we are going to see widespread to numerous showers and storms and these will really get going this afternoon as peak daytime heating will allow ample instability across the area. Temperatures in most locations will make it into the lower and mid 90s this afternoon, and showers/storms would sure be nice to help beat the heat.
REST OF THIS WEEK: As stated above, very little change in the day to day weather across the state. Nights will be fair and muggy, with temperatures in the 70s, while afternoons will be hot and humid, and we are going to see highs range anywhere from the lower 90s to mid and upper 90s in some spots. Heat relief will come like clockwork across the state in the form of mainly afternoon and evening showers and storms. Summertime convection will produce gusty winds, intense tropical downpours, and a lot of lightning. Also, locations that see the rain, are more prone to see areas of fog develop during the overnight and early morning hours.
WEEKEND WEATHER: I will give you three guesses on what to expect, but you will only need one. More of the same with the daily threat of scattered showers and storms as rain chances over the weekend will range in the 30-40% range. Highs both Saturday and Sunday look to be in the lower to mid 90s, which is right where they should be for the first weekend in August.
