Wednesday features an unchanged weather pattern. Our area was mainly dry through midday, at which point isolated but locally heavy downpours began to form. They become more numerous across our area during the afternoon and early evening. Rain helps us out today, because the other side of the weather story is another heat advisory.
Heat, humidity, and afternoon showers and storms are the story Tuesday. A heat advisory continues until 9PM across much of our area. The heat index could be as high as 107° this afternoon. Our saving grace comes in the form of cooling showers and storms. They could become fairly widely scattered through the course of the afternoon or early evening.
Typical August heat and humidity returned in full Monday. And after a mainly dry weekend, expect an elevated chance for rain each day this week. Showers and storms started to fire prior to noon, and they become more widely scattered throughout the afternoon.
For a third day in a row, Montgomery failed to reach 90°. Can’t say that too often in early August. Temperatures topped out in the upper 80s to low 90s in the rest of our area.
Thursday began on a nice note for central and south Alabama. Sure, it was a fairly warm and somewhat humid morning, but there was plenty of sunshine. Outside of a couple stray, isolated, and brief showers in west Alabama at midday, there wasn’t much going on through the morning.
Wednesday morning featured a mix of sun and clouds. A handful of isolated showers formed prior to midday mainly across far south Alabama. However, more isolated and relatively small downpours form elsewhere throughout the afternoon and early evening. Overall, today’s rain chance remains small. The heat remains quite manageable for this time of year, with highs in the upper 80s…
Tuesday morning was sunny for some but cloudy for others. While a there were some showers in south Alabama early this morning, there’s no rain at midday. We could see some shower or thunderstorm development this afternoon or early evening.
The extreme heat of last week and the weekend are behind us. However, we trade that for more clouds with a high chance for rain Monday afternoon and evening. Today’s rain comes courtesy in part to a rare summertime front pushing into south Alabama.
Friday is another sweltering day for central and south Alabama. It’s the fourth day in a row with a heat advisory in place. Afternoon heat index temperatures range from 104° to 110°. Actual air temperatures top out in the upper 90s. A couple spots could reach 100°.
Oppressive heat and humidity continues today. By 11AM, the heat index was already well above 100° in most locations. Air temperatures were in the low to mid 90s by noon. A heat advisory continues until Friday evening across all of our area.
