Higher Rain Chances Through Friday

It was a sunnier start than Tuesday morning for most in central and south Alabama. However, clouds increased through midday, though the morning was mainly rain-free. That changes Wednesday afternoon, with a higher coverage of daytime showers and storms compared to Tuesday.

Less Rain Monday, But Increasing Rain Chances This Week

Monday started on a sunny note after Sunday’s showers and storms. However, clouds increased through midday, though there weren’t any showers and storms up to that point. While we could see stray to isolated showers and storms Monday afternoon, more locations stay dry rather than get wet.

Routine Summertime Weekend Weather

It was a hot but less humid Friday across central and south Alabama. Afternoon temperatures peaked in the upper 80s to low 90s, but dew point temperatures were in the mid 60s rather than the low 70s of Thursday. As a result, there wasn’t much of a heat index factor during the afternoon.

Typical Summertime Weather Through The Weekend

Depending on your location, Thursday might have started on an overcast or at least mostly cloudy note. Despite the rather widespread clouds, Thursday morning was virtually rain-free. However, isolated to scattered showers and storms are probable for the afternoon.

High Rain Chances Through Tuesday

While we waved goodbye to Claudette over the weekend, we haven’t waved goodbye to clouds, showers and storms. The abundant sunshine of Sunday afternoon was brief, with widespread clouds and scattered showers and storms in the forecast Monday afternoon.

Rain, Wind, And Possibly Brief Tornadoes Saturday

Friday started with some sunshine, but the day closes with an overcast sky. Scattered showers and storms also drifted south to north through our area during the afternoon. These were associated with one of the outer feeder bands of potential tropical cyclone three.

Sunshine And Dry Now; Tropical Impacts This Weekend

Thursday afternoon features nice weather by mid-June standards. Although afternoon temperatures likely peak in the low 90s, humidity remains low enough that the heat index or “feels-like” temperature remains near or just below the actual air temperature.

Weekend Rain Chances Lower, But Temperatures Higher

Friday was oh-so-similar to most of this week. Clouds were widespread this morning, and again, showers and storms fired up prior to midday. Despite the presence of showers and storms throughout the day, temperatures in many locations peaked in the low 90s.

The Rain Chance Remains High Friday

New day, same old weather pattern. Thursday once again featured a high coverage of daytime showers and storms. Outside of locally heavy rain, the sky was mostly cloudy, but temperatures still peaked in the mid to upper 80s to low 90s.
