REST OF THIS WEEK: We are going to see more sun than clouds, with hot temperatures as highs will be in the mid 90s through Friday. We continue to have easterly flow across the state, and that is allowing for somewhat drier air into the state, which is really limiting our rain chances. A few very isolated storms are certainly…
Montgomery is steeped in history, but as Equal Justice Initiative founder Bryan Stevenson told the CBS Early Show last week, there is something missing. “In Montgomery, there are 59 markers and monuments to the confederacy. Our two largest high schools are Robert E. Lee High and Jefferson Davis High. We don’t even have Martin Luther King Day, its Martin Luther…
Gov. Robert Bentley is appealing the dismissal of the state’s lawsuit against the federal government over refugee placement. The governor’s office said the appeal was filed Tuesday with the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta. Bentley in January asked a federal judge to block refugees from coming to the state unless federal officials provided a full background check…
THE LAST DAYS OF AUGUST: The upper ridge is holding across the Deep South, and we continue to see little change in our day to day weather.

This week, a persistent forecast is expected through the middle of the week as the upper-level ridge will remain in place.

Overnight lows will be in the 70s….
Right now Commerce Street  is divided by cars in the middle of the street. The City of Montgomery allows drivers to park in this median. But not for long. “We’re just concerned about someone stepping out of their car in open lane of traffic and there being an accident. And it’s not ‘if’ it happens, it’s ‘when’ it’s going to…
RIDGE IN PLACE: Little day to day change in our weather through the weekend. Each day will feature plenty of sunshine as well as hot and humid conditions, but also each day we will see a few widely isolated showers and thunderstorms, mainly during the afternoon and evening hours. Rain chances are rather low, but not zero, and the chance…
The House started at 10 am Thursday and finally came to a decision just before midnight. But it was not without controversy. The House debated constitutional amendments to the bill through the day and evening. They first voted and the bill did not pass. They voted to reconsider. Then voted again and it did pass 64-35. Gov.
