Alberto’s Rain And Wind Moving North

Subtropical depression Alberto is now over northwest Alabama, and with it so is the heavy rain and wind. Scattered storms will reform this afternoon as plenty of warm and moist air gets dragged north behind Alberto. Storms are unlikely to be severe, with the isolated tornado risk staying east in Georgia today. Scattered thunderstorms may continue overnight and into Wednesday…

Alberto Brings Heavy Rain and Gusty Winds late Monday

Alberto remains a strong subtropical storm late this morning.  Rain intensity on the north side of Alberto has increased this morning, and that heavy rain potential will move into central and south Alabama by this evening as Alberto moves onshore. Rain totals of 2-5″ still appear possible, with isolated amounts a touch higher. Landfall is projected between Panama City and…

Alberto’s Impacts To Central And South Alabama

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…

Soggy Memorial Day Weekend

Our weather pattern today looks the same as the week or so- widespread scattered rain/thunderstorms by the mid afternoon, with coverage gradually decreasing overnight. 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…

Possible Tropical System Means Heavy Rain Memorial Day Weekend

The weather pattern remains unchanged Thursday. Scattered storms will become more widespread by the mid afternoon. 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…

Rain And Storms Continue!

Rain and storms once again dot the central Alabama sky on this Wednesday. The same tropical weather pattern is likely to continue all the way through Memorial day weekend. A wildcard in the forecast for this weekend is the potential for a weak area of low pressure to develop into a tropical system once it gets into a more favorable…

Slightly Better Chance For Rain and Storms Monday and Tuesday

Video forecast available on our Facebook Page! Thunderstorm activity remained widely scattered Sunday afternoon. Additional pop-up showers or storms are a possibility through early this evening, but taper off the further past sunset we get. Lows fall into the upper 60s/low 70s overnight. There’s a slightly higher chance to see rain and storms Monday, thanks to a weak disturbance heading our…

No End In Sight To Our Current Weather Pattern

Showers and storms are still going this afternoon thanks to plenty of hot and muggy air. This daytime thunderstorm pattern we’ve experienced for close to a week now continues through much of the week ahead. Tonight’s forecast also resembles the last several days- storms tapering off by 10PM-midnight and lows in the upper 60s/low 70s. More of the same Sunday,…

Scattered Afternoon Storms This Weekend

The possibility of thunderstorms returns this afternoon, though the latest high-res model runs suggest the overall coverage should remain on the lower end today. Rain and storms taper off again this evening with the loss of daytime stability. That cycle will essentially be on repeat for the much of our 8-day forecast. Saturday starts off dry with a mix of…

Afternoon Rain and Storms Likely Today and Friday

The clouds have cleared west of I-65 after a mostly cloudy start to the day. Despite that, we’ll see the coverage of rain and storms increase again this afternoon. A line of storms is currently tracking into extreme west Alabama, and it will continue to push east through the afternoon. We could get wind gusts up to 60 mph and…
