Mid 90s Through Friday With Only Isolated Storms

We’re off to another very hot day for the southern half of the state. Most spots reach the mid 90s this afternoon, and humidity is a bit higher today. That means afternoon heat index temperatures near 105°. Isolated shower and thunderstorms are already firing up this afternoon, so for some there will be a bit of heat relief. However, most…

Hot and Humid With Isolated Storms

Temperatures hovered in the low to mid 90s this afternoon. Showers remained extremely isolated, but on the plus side, humidity was still just a touch lower. We could see another isolated shower or two pop through early this evening, but we’re rain free overnight. Temperatures settle into the mid 70s. Rain chances stay rather limited on Thursday and Friday afternoon….

Hot & Humid With Isolated Storms

Dry air in the mid levels of the atmosphere continues to filter into central Alabama on the backside of tropical storm Chris. Because of that, this afternoon looks mainly dry for east Alabama, with isolated showers west. Otherwise, expect a mostly clear to partly cloudy sky today with highs in the mid 90s. Rain quickly comes to an end this…

The remaining storms gradually wind down this evening, and we should be mainly dry overnight, with lows in the mid 70s. If you didn’t see rain today, there’s a good chance you will Sunday. Similar to today,…

Storms Likely This Weekend

Hardly any showers or storms formed this afternoon. Yesterday’s strong storm complex really worked over the atmosphere, resulting in (slightly) cooler high temps and (slightly) less humidity. Tonight should be rain free, with temperatures falling into the mid 70s. Saturday morning looks mainly dry with some sunshine. Afternoon high temperatures warm into the 90s, and there could be quite a…

Scattered Storms And Slightly Less Heat This Afternoon

It’s a little cooler this morning thanks to yesterday’s storms sapping up most of the available heat and humidity. Highs today still reach the low 90s, and more storms are possible this afternoon. Some could be strong, but we won’t see a repeat of yesterday’s round of storms. Gusty winds capable of downing trees and powerlines are possible within the…

The line of storms stretching across the state of Alabama is now exiting to the south and west. A steady rain may continue for some time this evening, but all of the rain and storms gradually taper off by midnight or so. We could see an isolated storm overnight, but severe weather is not expected. Lows drop into the upper…

We’re closely watching strong complexes of storms moving through north Alabama and northwest Georgia. These are expected to dive south this afternoon, and impact us by this evening. The Storm Prediction center places a slight risk (level 2/5) for severe…
