Sunshine And Scattered Storms Return This Weekend

The sun is finally shining again across central and south Alabama. We’ll finally see lower chances for rain and a return to typical summertime heat and humidity this weekend. Today we’re only expecting isolated afternoon storms with highs topping out in the upper 80s to low 90s. The showers and storms quickly taper off tonight, with lows dropping back into…

Periods Of Rain Continue Thursday

The rest of Thursday looks cloudy with bouts of light to moderate rain. The overall weather setup looks the same, though the stationary front has moved a little farther east. The best chance to see rain will be on the east side of the front, mainly east of I-65. The flash flood watch was cancelled early for much of the…

Heavy Rain At Times Through Friday

Widespread rain with a few embedded storms continue today. The flash flood watch remains in effect through 7PM Thursday night. An additional 1-3″ of rain is possible, which could lead to localized flooding and ponding on roadways. Temperatures only reach the low 80s today if a little sun can break through the clouds, otherwise they will hover in the 70s…

Rain And Storms Likely For A Few More Days

Scattered showers and storms returned to a large portion of the area this afternoon. Most of these come to and end overnight, but a few isolated showers or even storms remain possible. Lows settle in the mid 70s. High coverage of rain and storms, especially during the afternoons, continues for a few more days. That’s because of a front to…

Slightly Higher Rain Chance This Weekend

It’s dry and hot again today to close out the work week. Expect high temperatures in the mid 90s for most spots. An isolated shower or storm is possible across southeast Alabama near a stalled frontal boundary. The rest of the area should be dry under a partly cloudy sky. Your evening plans won’t be hampered by rain, but it…

Mainly Dry and Hot Through Friday

We’re dry and mostly sunny through the first half of Thursday. A stalled front across northwest Florida will be the focus for a few isolated showers or storms this afternoon. Slightly drier air across the area results in warmer temperatures today. Most spots top out in the mid 90s. Any showers around this afternoon come to an end overnight, with…

Mainly Dry But Hotter Through Friday

A weak cold front is entering northwest Alabama with a high pressure ridge sliding southward behind it. This front will push through most of the state by this evening before stalling across south Alabama. Expect a few isolated showers mainly east of I-65/south of I-85 this afternoon. Tonight should be rain free and partly cloudy with lows in the low…

Mainly Dry And Less Humid After Today

The showers and storms should quickly come to an end after sunset, with a partly cloudy sky the rest of the night. Low temperatures settle back to around 70 by early Wednesday morning. Wednesday through Friday look like drier days for central and south Alabama. A ridge of high pressure will work in from the northwest, and the reinforcing less-humid…

Slightly Drier With Routine Afternoon Storms

The severe weather over the weekend is gone, and we can now look forward to a quieter week of weather. Winds are out of the north to northwest today, providing slightly drier air. Looks like we’ll keep that going for much of this week. With a pesky upper level low around, we can expect partly to mostly cloudy skies this…

Strong Storms Possible Tonight And Saturday

An unusually strong storm system for this time of the year could cause some severe weather across central and south Alabama overnight through midday Saturday. The main severe weather risk looks to be straight line winds above 60 mph. Storms could enter our north counties, or a Marion to Alexander City line, by about midnight. It’s most likely going to…
