Sunday was a gloomy one in central and south Alabama. The sky was overcast for much of the day, while the humidity was high. Showers and storms were rather heavy in west Alabama for a good bit of the day too. The coverage of showers and storms remains fairly high this evening, and some of these may slide further east to impact areas previously mainly rain-free.
It was a mostly cloudy, very warm, and humid Saturday across central and south Alabama. Despite the clouds, daytime high temperatures rose into the mid and upper 80s. Showers and even storms were here and there throughout the day.
Showers and storms return to our forecast Friday afternoon, though there may be less of them Friday than Thursday. Temperatures in rain-free locations are likely to warm into the upper 80s.
Thursday began with dense fog in south Alabama and some rain in west Alabama. A dense fog advisory expires at 8AM Thursday morning for Covington, Butler, and Crenshaw counties. Until then, visibility could fall below one quarter mile at times. There wasn’t much rain Thursday morning, but expect a much higher chance for rain later today.
A case of the warm and muggies early Wednesday morning, with temperatures starting in the low 70s in many locations. There are also light to moderate showers in west Alabama, and it looks like that’s where the best chance for rain remains throughout the day.
After a mostly pleasant, dry, and cooler holiday weekend, a typical summertime pattern returns for the rest of the week.
Memorial Day Weekend parts one and two were nice as could be for the last weekend of May. Temperatures on Sunday only rose into the 70s in a few of our communities.
The holiday weekend starts on a blazing hot note Friday afternoon with most locations topping out in the low 90s. Higher humidity fuels a narrow line of showers and storms this evening. As of the early evening, the storms turned down the heat in west Alabama, and they could do the same elsewhere as they continue east and eventually southeast.
Thursday’s weather looks a bit different than the sunny, dry, and hot weather we’ve experienced lately. You might have noticed more humidity in the air as soon as you stepped out the door this morning. The humidity provides enough fuel for isolated showers and even storms this afternoon and early evening.
Just like our last several mornings, temperatures fell into the low 60s across much of our area. Temperatures weren’t there long, with midday temperatures surging into the mid and upper 80s. Many locations were in the low 90s Sunday afternoon, and looks like most locations reach the low 90s Monday afternoon.
