Hot & Dry !

A hot and dry weather pattern has established itself over our area. High pressure will be the dominate weather feature. This means lots of sunshine along with high temps in the mid 90s through the weekend into next week. We continue to monitor a tropical wave moving toward the eastern Bahamas. This system may be an issue for south Florida…

Hot & Mainly Dry Weather Ahead

Looks like high pressure will be dominating our weather right through the upcoming weekend. This will put us under lots of sunshine and much drier air. The chance for any rain activity will be very slim. The dry air will heat up and that means 90 plus degree heat isn’t going away anytime soon. Bottom line, we stay sunny and…

Drier Weather Pattern Ahead

We head into midweek with our chance for rain increasing. A disturbance will move westward across the state on Wednesday. This system will generate scat’d showers and t-storms especially west of the I-65 corridor. High pressure will build down into the area on Thursday. We go back into a hot and drier weather pattern for several days. Temps will be…

Slightly Drier Air Ahead

A frontal boundary has stalled over central Alabama. As a result, scat’d showers and t-storms continue to form and move through the area. We see a decent chance for rain activity through Wednesday of this week. High pressure along with drier easterly winds will kick in across the area later in the week. We go back to more sunshine and…

Scat’d Weekend Storms

Looks like daily showers and t-storms will developing over the weekend. It’s not going to rain out all your plans but there will be times you will have to dodge a few storms. T-storms that do develop will be capable of frequent lightning, gusty winds, and heavy rain. The heat should back down a bit due to clouds and occasional…

Scat’d Showers & T-storms

Heading toward the weekend, we see an increase in our afternoon showers & t-storms. A frontal boundary will be sinking southward helping to kick off more rain activity. It’s not going to rain all the time and you will be able to get in outdoor activities. You will just need to listen out for thunder and head in doors at…

Chance for rain increases

Our hot and humid weather pattern remains in place. 90 plus degree high temps with heat indices reaching the triple digit mark. Sca’td showers and t-storms will take the heat down in spots. It’s looking like we may see an increase in t-storm activity for the latter half of the work week and into the weekend. High pressure to our…

Feeling Like Triple Digit Heat

The hot and humid days of summer have settled back in across the region. Temps will make the mid 90s but it will feel more like 100 to 105 with the heat index. Scat’d showers and t-storms will be possible each day. Some storms will produce brief heavy rain, frequent lightning, and gusty winds. This weather pattern will remain in…

Typical August Weather

Typical August weather conditions have made a return to the region. Hot and humid with afternoon showers and t-storms. Temps will top out in the low to mid 90s while hovering in the mid 70s overnight.  Scat’d showers and t-storms will develop each afternoon.  The main threats will be frequent lightning, gusty winds, and brief heavy rainfall. Looks like we…

Fewer Showers And Heating Up

The persistent area of low pressure just to our west continues to have a big influence on our weather. The flow around the low is sending gulf moisture into the region. We get a daily variety of showers and occasionally a few t-storms. The low is expected to drift more westward and away from us over the weekend. This movement…
