A break from the daily afternoon showers and storms? Say it ain’t so… After what seems like forever, it looks like we’ll be able to enjoy (almost) entirely rain-free days for a while. In exchange, afternoon highs reach the mid 90s for at least the next couple of days, and maybe into next week too. Today starts that trend, with…
A few clusters of showers and storms remain this evening. As usual, these will wind down after sunset. We should be rain free by about 10PM, with a partly cloudy sky overnight. Lows fall into the mid 70s. Friday looks like a mainly dry day. A few isolated showers and storms are possible during the afternoon. It’s also going to…
It’s another dry start to the day across central and south Alabama. Temperatures should easily reach the low 90s this afternoon, but isolated to scattered showers and maybe a storm or two cool some spots off. The rain tapers off this evening, but a shower or storm is still possible through 10PM or so. Expect a mainly dry overnight with…
There’s still no rain to be found through the late morning in central and south Alabama. Scattered showers and storms should develop this afternoon, but not everyone will see rain. Some rain and maybe a thunderstorm could linger through this evening, but most of the rain tapers off overnight. Highs today reach the mid to upper 80s. Lows tonight fall into…
A weak cold front is slowing down across northwest Alabama this morning. That front will be the focus for more rain and thunderstorm development through the afternoon. The front should stall across central Alabama through Wednesday, and will be the focus for at least scattered thunderstorm development during the afternoons. We’ll see a wide range in high temperatures today, from…
Hardly and showers formed across central and south Alabama sky this afternoon. It’s unlikely that we see any pop up after sunset. So, your Friday evening and overnight is looking dry. The sky stays mostly clear with lows in the low 70s. The first half of our Saturday should be mainly dry. Scattered showers and storms look likely by the…
The remnants of Gordon continue to move away from our area, and we’re back to a much more familiar weather pattern. We’ve still got about 16 days of summer before the fall equinox, and it’s going to feel like it over the next 8 days. For tonight, showers and storms taper off between about 10PM and midnight. After that, we…
Several inches of rain have fallen across southwest Alabama since Gordon moved ashore, and a few more inches could fall this afternoon. We also still have the threat for a brief spin-up tornado this afternoon. That threat diminishes along with much of the rain this evening. Scattered showers remain possible overnight with lows in the low 70s. We should be…
Tropical storm Gordon is now in the north-central Gulf of Mexico, with max sustained winds of 65 mph. The official forecast from the National Hurricane center has Gordon reaching category 1 strength just before a landfall along the Mississippi coast. The most significant impacts- including rain possibly totaling over half an inch and hurricane force winds- should be confined to…
Tropical storm Gordon is moving into the Gulf of Mexico from the southern tip of Florida this evening, and a U.S. landfall is likely by Tuesday night along the MS/LA coast. Fortunately for us, impacts look to be minimal. However, we will still have to watch for an isolated tornado threat, especially for Tuesday night through Wednesday. Rain totals don’t…
