Blanketed By A Cumulus Cloud Deck At Midday, But Showers Are Expected Later Today

At 11:50 AM, we have a field of cumulus clouds over nearly all at Central Alabama, but no rainfall under those clouds at this point. The nearest showers in the state are located in the extreme southwestern parts of the state affecting places such as Monroeville, Bayou La Batre, and Dauphin Island.

Temperatures across Central Alabama are ranging in the mid-80s to the low-90s, with Montgomery topping out as the warm spot at 91 degrees. Birmingham is currently at 88 degrees.

A Few Scattered Storms Possible This Afternoon and Evening
We’ll have scattered showers and thunderstorms form during the afternoon hours, but we’ll have a boundary pushing in giving us an extra increase in activity later this evening and into tonight, especially as we enter into the pre-dawn hours of Wednesday. Afternoon highs will top out in the low to mid-90s, with lows in the low to mid-70s.

Wednesday’s Weather
The surface front will be approaching from the north and this will bring an increased risk for scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms throughout the daytime and into the night time hours. Severe weather is not likely at this point, but a few storms could be strong with winds up to 40 MPH. Drier air will start to move in from the north during the late night and overnight hours, but rain chances will continue for the southern half of the area. Afternoon highs will be in the mid-80s to the low-90s from north to south.

Taking A Peek At The Tropics
The rebirth of Harvey is likely and could possibly become a category one hurricane before moving onto the southeastern Texas coast on Friday. It is forecast to move to the northeast and bring plenty of rain to Louisiana and Mississippi, and even to Alabama by Sunday.

Invest 92L is close to the Bahamas and will probably meander around the Florida Peninsula for a few days before ultimately being forced out to sea by a deep trough that will form over the eastern U.S.
