Less Rain But More Heat Through Wednesday

The rain finally took a break today for much of central and south Alabama, but the heat and humidity did not. Still, some isolated showers are popping east of I-65 as of 4:30PM, drifting slowly south. Heat indexes were near 100° for much of the afternoon, and it could be even higher the next couple afternoons. Tonight will be warm…

Fewer Storms To Start The Work Week

Quite a bit of rain for some early on Father’s day. Russel county picked up isolated totals of 8-10″ within an 8 hour span, leading to some flash flooding issues. Extreme eastern Macon county saw as much as 2-4″. Fortunately, most of this afternoon’s storms taper off tonight, and fewer are expected Monday afternoon. Lows fall into the low 70s…

More Rain Father’s Day; Less Rain Early Next Week

Thunderstorms have become a bit more isolated over the last couple hours in central and south Alabama.

More Storms Over The Weekend

We’ve seen a couple waves of rain today, with some heavy rain across south Alabama this morning and then a stronger complex of storms over west Alabama this afternoon. Although the coverage of rain should be lower tonight, isolated showers and storms are still possible. We may see some fog forming late tonight as well. Otherwise, it will be warm…

Storms Continue Through The Weekend

It’s been a mostly cloudy Thursday with scattered showers and storms. A small area of spin in the atmosphere is centered close to the I-65/I-85 junction. This feature has helped fire some of the storms this afternoon, and it will keep the chance for showers and storms going overnight. Otherwise, expect a steady drop in temperatures into the low 70s…

Scattered Afternoon Storms Through Father’s Day

We’re mainly dry through the first half of Wednesday, but you can expect more scattered thunderstorm activity by this afternoon. Highs today should be near 90 before storms start to cool us off. Unlike recent days, we may see some thunderstorms continue overnight thanks to the development of a MCV (mesoscale convective vortex) which basically acts like an area of…

Numerous Afternoon Storms Monday

We had a few storms briefly capable of gusty winds this afternoon, but nothing severe so far today in our coverage area. Most of these storms come to an end between about 10PM and midnight tonight, and we’ll transition to a typical warm and muggy night, with lows near 70 degrees. Numerous showers and storms are likely again on Monday….

Numerous Showers And Storms Expected Sunday

Quite a few thunderstorms still out there this evening. We’ve even seen a few severe storms this afternoon, but these have been short-lived. The rain and storms taper off after sunset, and we will transition back to a partly cloudy and muggy night. Lows fall to around 70 overnight. Sunday morning should be dry, but once we hit the afternoon…

Hot And Humid With Daily Thunderstorms

A little rain returned to the central and south Alabama sky Friday afternoon, though in the form of just isolated downpours and even a few rumbles of thunder. While most of these come to an end tonight, they will be the main feature in our weather pattern over the next 8 days. The humidity will be a bit higher tonight…
