A Familiar Weather Pattern Going Forward

We remain in a very familiar weather pattern and it’s sticking around until further notice. You get 90 plus degree heat before the showers or storms move in to cool it off. It’s looking more like mid 90s for Friday and Saturday. High pressure may help to keep rain activity on these days down just a bit. The high will…

Trending A Little Drier Going Into The Weekend

High pressure continues to be the main upper level weather feature over the deep south. Closer to the surface, an almost steady stream of moisture from the gulf is helping to fuel those afternoon showers and storms. They’re triggered by the daytime heating and some of the storms can be strong at times. The main threats will be heavy downpours,…

Daily Rounds Of Rain & Storms Through Late Week

We expect daily rounds of afternoon showers and storms throughout the remainder of the work week. Any of the storms will be capable of heavy downpours, gusty winds, and frequent lightning strikes. Hot and humid conditions dominate where storms aren’t occurring. We expect afternoon high temps to manage lower to mid 90s. The upcoming weekend will be trending a little…

Daily Rounds Of Showers & Storms

We’re facing an active week of weather across our area.  Hot and humid conditions lead to temps in the lower to mid 90s each afternoon.  A good supply of moisture over us will fuel afternoon showers and storms.  These storms will be capable of heavy downpours, gusty winds, and frequent lightning strikes. We see very little change in this weather…

Storms Around For Part Of Your Weekend

Hot and humid conditions continue to prevail across our area. Temps will manage lower to mid 90s until further notice. You factor in the humidity and it begins to feel more like 100 to 105. Fortunately, we continue to see a decent chance for afternoon showers and storms. A frontal boundary dips southward into North Alabama Saturday. We’re well out…

Rain Chances Increase Slightly

High pressure remains the main weather feature over us but just to our north a frontal boundary dips into the state. This boundary will enhance the risk of showers and storms across central and north Alabama Friday into Saturday. Around here it will be more of the same with scattered afternoon showers and possibly storms. Temps will continue to manage…

Nothing Unusual About This Weather Pattern

We continue in a typical summer-time weather pattern of hot and humid conditions along with isolated afternoon showers. Temps are hovering around the mid 90s for highs and that’s about average for this time of the year. High pressure along with some drier air aloft has kept the shower coverage rather isolated and this will continue through Thursday. A frontal…

Rain Chances Increase Late Week

There’s nothing unusual about the weather setup we’re experiencing at the moment. It’s what you would expect for late July. Temps hover in the 90s for highs and some receive an afternoon shower of storm. We see this playing out through at least Thursday but our rain chances will be increasing a bit Friday into Saturday. A frontal boundary to…

What You Expect For Late July

It’s typical summer time conditions around here this week. High pressure over the deep south will keep us hot and humid along with those pop up afternoon showers and storms. I don’t expect everyone to see them but where they do occur you can expect some heat relief. Temps will easily manage lower to mid 90s but with the humidity…

Strong To Severe Storms Likely This Evening!

Strong to severe storms are likely this evening. NWS has issued a severe t-storm watch until 11pm for central and southeast Alabama. The main threat will be damaging winds up to 70 mph. These storms will also produce very heavy rainfall and frequent lightning strikes. We see the storm threat winding down around midnight. The rest of the night is…
