Showers Popping

| August 20, 2016 @ 11:58 am

As the radar image shows, showers are beginning to pop across Alabama. Most of the popping appears to be across the western and southern sections of Alabama with a rather void area of showers in the very center of the state. All of these showers were moving fairly steadily toward the northeast.

The previous run of the HRRR that goes out this far has done a pretty fair job at getting the convection under way. The only problem is that HRRR has too many showers in the center of the state and in the eastern sections when compared to the actual conditions. Still not too shabby.

Looks like showers and thunderstorms will be numerous today so most locations stand a pretty fair chance of seeing some rain. Please be mindful of the lightning threat. Lightning deaths in the US have climbed to 27 for this year.
