Alabama 811 | Know What's Below.

Muggy Days; Occasional Showers/Storms

| August 10, 2017 @ 6:00 am

NO DROUGHT WORRIES ANYTIME SOON: Today will be another day with scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms across the great state of Alabama. In fact, a flash flood warning remains in effect for parts of Madison County up in the Tennessee Valley through 7:30 a.m.

Highest coverage of showers and storms will come this afternoon and early tonight, and the sky will remain generally cloudy, although the sun will peek out at times. The high today will be in the mid 80s for most communities.

TOMORROW THROUGH THE WEEKEND: Same story. Precipitable water values will remain high, and we will deal with a few passing showers and thunderstorms from time to time all three days. Impossible to give you specific start/stop times for rain, but just be ready for a shower or storm at any hour of the day or night.

On the positive side, there will be some nice breaks in the rain, and the sun should break through occasionally. And, daytime temperatures remain below average with highs in the upper 80s.

NEXT WEEK: Nothing to sweep out the moist air. For much of the week, we will have more clouds than sun with the risk of showers and storms on a daily basis. Afternoon highs will be mostly in the mid to upper 80s. No sign of any consistent 90 degree heat for the next 15 days, which is pretty remarkable for mid-August in Alabama. See the Weather Xtreme video for maps, graphics, and more details.

SOLAR ECLIPSE WEATHER: It is still too early to provide an accurate forecast for the eclipse on Monday, August 21. The GFS doesn’t look very encouraging, but this could easily change. We will have a good “first look” late this weekend.

TROPICS: Hurricane Franklin moved into Mexico late last night; it will dissipate in coming days. Invest 99L is northeast of the Leeward Islands; some chance his shows some organization this weekend, but it will recurve into the open Atlantic and is no threat to the U.S. One more disturbance is east of Miami, and is not expected to develop.
