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. Expect the coverage of storms to remain low tonight, but additional isolated downpours with some rumbles of thunder are possible overnight. Lows fall into the low 70s. We could see some fog around early Father’s day morning, but expect more storms by the…

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…

A Sunny & Hot Wednesday Afternoon

Plenty of sunshine fills the central and south Alabama sky late this morning. Unlike yesterday, everyone remains dry this afternoon and we’ll stay mostly sunny through the rest of the day. Humidity remains on the lower end today, with highs near 90 degrees. Temperatures cool back off into the 60s overnight under a clear sky. Our weather pattern remains dry…

A Few Storms Sunday; Drier and Cooler Monday

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. Part of our viewing area is in the slight risk (level 2/5) and marginal (1/5) zone. While the stronger storms stay north this afternoon, they may slide…
