A Few Strong Storms Possible Wednesday

It was a dry and muggy start to Wednesday morning. Some lingering clouds from thunderstorms across north Alabama filled the sky this morning, but we should see some sun today. Those storms were part of a complex of storms that were fairly intense across north Alabama overnight. Fortunately, they quickly weakened as they moved into central Alabama. The weather setup…

Mid-Ninety Degree Heat With Just Spotty Showers and Storms

It was another mainly dry start to the day with a mix of sun and clouds. Temperatures quickly warmed to near 90° by midday, on track for the low to mid 90s this afternoon. Heat index temperatures could near 100° at times. The chance for rain today looks isolated, with only spotty showers and storms this afternoon and early evening….

Another Mid-90° Heat Streak Ahead

It was a foggy start for many locations this morning. The fog is gone now and the dense fog advisory expired. Otherwise, we’re looking at a mix of sun and clouds. Showers from this morning largely tapered off, but additional showers and storms likely form this afternoon. Outside the chance for rain, expect a partly cloudy sky with high temperatures…

Scattered Afternoon Showers And Storms This Weekend

It was a little less hot today across central and south Alabama. Some locations only reached the 80s thanks to afternoon shower and thunderstorm activity. A nearby stationary front enhanced the strength and coverage of storms across southwest Alabama. Meanwhile, other areas remained rain-free and mainly sunny. Still, some locations could see a shower or storm roll through this evening….

Scattered Afternoon Showers And Storms This Weekend

It was a warm and muggy start the the day, with morning lows in the low 70s. Temperatures quickly rose into the upper 80s around midday, and likely head for the low 90s this afternoon. A stalled frontal boundary and nearby area of low pressure should help enhance lift in the atmosphere today. That leads to scattered showers and storms,…

Another Day Of Mid-90° Heat, But Slightly More Widespread Rain

It’s another warm and muggy start to the day, with temperatures already near or above 90° as of midday. The air is a bit more humid today, which could contribute to heat index readings near 100° at times this afternoon. There should be a few more showers and storms around this afternoon compared to Wednesday. Expect most of these during…

Another Afternoon of Mid-90°+ Heat

It was a slightly more muggy start to the morning thanks to showers and storms lasting through late Tuesday evening. Much of the lingering clouds cleared quickly this morning. The abundant sunshine should warm temperatures into the mid 90s for most locations this afternoon. We’re likely to see isolated showers and storms today, with the highest coverage during the mid…

Hot With Increasing Rain Chances This Week

It was another cool-ish start to the morning with temperatures starting off in the mid to upper 60s. It’s a totally different story now, with most spots near or exceeding 90° as of midday. Temperatures continue to warm into the low to mid 90s this afternoon. Fortunately, humidity stays fairly low, so there won’t be much of a heat index…

Lower Humidity And Cooler Nights Through Friday

It was a cool start to the morning in central and south Alabama. Selma fell all the way to 57 degrees this morning, while Montgomery fell to 65°. The record low for today’s date was 64° set back in 1882. We were just shy of tying it, but it puts into perspective how uncommon the cool weather this morning was…

Mainly Sunny And Less Humid Through Thursday

Sunshine returns in plentiful supply today after clouds, showers, and storms dominated most of Tuesday. A cold front cleared the state last night, and slightly cooler and drier air is in place. Temperatures today only warm into the upper 80s, and there won’t be an added heat index factor. Expect a mostly sunny sky through the day. This evening looks…
