Most were concentrated on either side of I-65, traveling parallel to the interstate from southwest to northeast.  High temperatures topped out in the low to mid 90s, but heat index temperatures generally remained below 100°. Expect a partly cloudy sky this evening with…

Numerous Showers And Storms This Weekend

The showers and storms wasted no time developing this morning. Quite a few were already traversing the area from south to north by midday. We’ll see more develop throughout the afternoon. Still, looks like a relatively scattered coverage of rain today. High temperatures top out in the low to mid 90s, but heat index temperatures generally remain below 100°. Outside…

Hot & Humid With Daily Showers And Storms

After days on end of mid-90°+ heat, including a 6-day streak of 100°+ high temperatures in Montgomery, we’re slowly transitioning back to near-normal heat. It’s still going to be hot this afternoon, with highs in the low to mid 90s. Heat index temperatures stay in check, remaining at or below 100° for most of the day. There’s a chance for…

Heat, Humidity, And Scattered Storms

It was another sizzling afternoon across central and south Alabama. Temperatures neared 100° in most locations. There were hardly any cooling showers or storms today, and these should quickly wind down this evening. An area of low pressure is spinning in northwest Florida, which sent a few showers into east Alabama this afternoon. Going forward, it could enhance our chance…

Still Very Hot, But Much Less Humid

A “cold” front pushed into southeast Alabama Wednesday. The front really didn’t bring any cooler air, but it did bring drier air into the state. Dry air heats up much more efficiently than humid air, so we’ll see afternoon highs in the upper 90s in most locations Thursday afternoon. The front stalled in extreme southeast Alabama, and there’s a small…

Expect only isolated showers and storms this…

Dangerous Heat Continues Through Tuesday Evening

Temperatures and heat index values are soaring across central and south Alabama. The heat index reached 110° at 11AM in Montgomery. Expect heat index temperatures to remain between 105 and 110° through early Monday evening. Like Sunday, cooling showers and storms look very spotty this afternoon. That means most spots remain oppressively hot throughout the day. Take precautions if you’re…

Potentially Dangerous Heat Continues This Weekend

It’s another day of extreme summer heat across central and south Alabama. Heat index temperatures exceeded 100° in several locations at 11AM, and they’re only going to rise this afternoon.
