Mainly Hot & Dry

We’re facing several days of sunny and mainly dry conditions around here. High pressure will maintain a mostly sunny sky along with temps warming into the lower 90s for highs. An old frontal boundary to our south will be the focal point for some shower/t-storm activity but we think most spots across central Alabama continue dry through the work week….

A Mainly Dry Weather Pattern

Much drier air has made its way into the deep south. This will make it feel comfortable overnight into early Tuesday. It appears now that a weak disturbance will make a run at our area Tuesday. We expect skies to cloud up a bit and a few showers to pass through the region. This system departs and its back to…

Dry and Milder Weather Pattern Ahead

A frontal boundary will sweep through our area and usher in a dry and milder air mass for a few days. Mornings will start out clear and comfortable with temps in the mid 60s through Wednesday. Afternoons warm into the upper 80s but the air will be less humid and that should make it feel a lot better than the…

Hot & Humid With Storms

Hot and humid with scat’d showers and t-storms throughout our weekend. Numerous rounds of storms will work through the area at times. Some of the storms will be strong and possibly severe. The main threats will be gusty winds, heavy rainfall, frequent lightning, and hail. The heat cranks up each day with highs in the upper 80s to lower 90s….

Hot & Humid !

It’s back to hot and humid conditions going into the upcoming weekend. Temps will start out in the lower 70s and climb into the lower 90s for afternoon hours. A few showers/t-storms will be possible Friday but we see a better chance for storm activity over the weekend. A frontal boundary will be moving into the area. A few strong…

Turning Hot & Humid

The heavy rain event has departed and now we’re looking at a little quieter weather pattern for a few days. Scattered showers and t-storms will still be developing but we expect fewer in number than what we’ve experienced lately. It’s going to be a typical hot and humid setup with those daily afternoon pop up showers and t-storms. Temperatures will…

Heating Up Again !

Alberto has moved well north of our area but it’s influence on our weather hasn’t left us. Winds on the backside of the system are helping generate scattered showers and t-storms. These are like tropical downpours and produce brief heavy rain, lightning, and gusty winds. As Alberto moves farther north of us, its impact will lessen and we go back…

Alberto Moving Our Way

You can expect tropical downpours this evening into the overnight ours. Our greatest concern with this tropical system will be the heavy rain. Rainfall potential of 3 to 6 inches with a few spots a littler higher. You will need to be very mindful of those areas prone to flooding. Remember to turn around don’t drown! Another threat will be…

Alberto Is Headed North

Alberto will likely make landfall along the northwest Florida coast Monday morning and move northward into Alabama during the afternoon hours. The main threat around here will be heavy rainfall and a few isolated tornadoes Monday into early Tuesday. Rainfall amounts of 4 to 8 inches will be possible. Be aware of a flash flood threat and remember to turn…

More Rain Ahead !

A very moisture rich air mass remains in place across Alabama this weekend. This will lead to numerous showers and t-storms working across the area. The main threats will be heavy downpours, frequent lightning strikes, and gusty winds. There will be periods of some sunshine and temps will respond with highs in the mid to upper 80s. Down in the…
