Some stronger storms are firing up across central and south Alabama this afternoon. These are non-severe at the moment (3:08 PM), but storms capable of gusty winds are possible through early this evening. Most of the rain and storm activity winds down overnight. A few isolated showers or storms are possible, with lows in the low/mid 70s. Scattered, hit-or-miss storms…

Scattered Storms Likely This Weekend

Scattered storms are a possibility Friday afternoon, though coverage of storms still looks rather hit-or-miss.  The Storm prediction center places an enhances risk (level 3/5) for severe weather just to our north today.

A Few Storms Possible This Afternoon

We finally have the opportunity to dry out a bit this morning. Fog quickly mixed out this morning, but its still quite humid out there.

Elsewhere, we still have ongoing flash flood warnings for…

Alberto’s Rain And Wind Moving North

Alberto Brings Heavy Rain and Gusty Winds late Monday

Subtropical storm Alberto hasn’t strengthened since becoming a subtropical system yesterday. It will continue to track north into the central Gulf of Mexico Sunday. For us, clouds increase on Sunday and some of the outer moisture from Alberto should fuel scattered storms by Sunday afternoon. Rain and storms remain possible Sunday night as Alberto tracks closer to the central gulf…

Highs today reach the mid 80s, with overnight lows falling to the upper 60s/low 70s. More rainfall is likely for the holiday weekend. Saturday’s forecast looks like more of the same with scattered afternoon storms and…

Most of them gradually taper off tonight, and we’re left with only an isolated shower or storm overnight. High temps remain tough to call thanks to the widespread rain, but we’ll generally hover in the mid to upper 80s this afternoon. It will be…
