Isolated Showers And Storms Labor Day Weekend; Dorian Now A Major Hurricane

It was another virtually cloud-free day across central and south Alabama. High temperatures rose into the low to mid 90s thanks to the dry air and abundant sunshine. This evening looks clear and comfortable, with temperatures falling into the 70s by 9PM and continued lower humidity. Overnight lows fall into the mid to upper 60s, so expect another pleasant start…

A Cloudy And Wet Start To The Week

The wet-weather pattern continues today, with showers and storms likely throughout the day. It won’t be a washout for any particular location, and it won’t rain in any one spot all day. But we could see multiple rounds of rain with embedded storms today. A few locations could pick up 1-2″ of rain. Areas west of I-65 likely see the…

Widespread Showers And Storms Monday

It was a less-than-sunny Sunday across central and south Alabama. Not everyone saw rain through this afternoon, but a cluster of showers and storms is heading south to north through the area this evening. Even if you miss out on that batch of rain, tonight doesn’t look like a totally rain free night. You could still get a shower or…

Showers And Storms Likely Sunday And Monday

It was a cloudy start to the day for many, but by the afternoon the sun broke through at times for part of the area. Showers and storms remained fairly scattered today, but it looks like they could be quite widespread for part two of the weekend and Monday. An isolated shower or storm remains possible overnight with an otherwise…

Cloudy And Wet At Times This Weekend

It was a hot and humid afternoon across central and south Alabama. Showers and storms became fairly widespread by the late afternoon, but pockets of sunshine allowed temperatures to warm into the mid 90s in many locations. Fortunately, heat index temperatures stayed near or below 100° this afternoon. Showers and storms remain possible early this evening. They’ll gradually taper off,…

Enhanced Rain Chances This Weekend

The showers and storms wasted no time developing this morning. More showers and storms developed this afternoon. 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…
