Father’s day was hot, with high temperatures in the low to mid 90s. Some showers and storms developed in the daytime heating, especially along and north of I-85. One storm was severe across Tallapoosa county during the late afternoon, but quickly moved east of our area and weakened. Isolated showers and storms are possible through sunset, but quickly fizzle away…
Saturday was the summer solstice, marking the start of Astronomical summer (Meteorological summer began on June 1st). Apparently Mother Nature took notice, with high temperatures reaching the low to mid 90s this afternoon. Fortunately, humidity wasn’t that high, and so heat index temperatures hovered near the air temperatures during the afternoon. A handful of showers developed across far south Alabama,…
Seems like the milder June temperatures from earlier this week are in the rear-view mirror. Temperatures rose into the low 90s in most of our central and south Alabama locations this afternoon. Fortunately, humidity wasn’t too bad, with heat index temperatures trending very close to actual air temperatures most of the day. However, cooling daytime showers and storms were nearly…

Cristobal’s center of circulation is in far northern Louisiana at midday. However, impacts reach well east of the system. A couple convective feeder bands are moving south to north through Alabama, one in the west along U.S. 43, and another along I-65. Expect these bands to produce locally heavy rain throughout the day, and possibly brief tornadoes. The storm prediction…
There wasn’t much sunshine in our area Sunday, with widespread clouds due to Cristobal filling the sky. Showers and storms were limited in coverage through late this afternoon. However, showers and a few storms associated with Cristobal’s circulation increase in coverage this evening, especially in southwest Alabama. There’s a non-zero threat for a brief spin-up tornado, but the threat is…
