For the Rest of the Evening

A quick look at the surface analysis shows the frontal boundary continues to drop south across the state today. The front was roughly along the Interstate 20 corridor across the state. It will continue to head south overnight and will actually bring a bit of drier air in behind it. That should translate into less humidity and slightly more comfortable evenings and mornings for the next couple of days.

Looking at the latest satellite image, most of north Alabama is seeing mostly sunny skies that have allowed most areas to have a very nice Saturday across those portions of the state. The thicker and taller clouds associated with the thunderstorms that continue to push south is quite evident along the Interstate 85 corridor and the Interstate 65 corridor south of Montgomery. The thick, white clouds will push south out ahead of the frontal boundary.

The radar has been fairly active across portions of our southern counties this afternoon. The showers and storms that developed continue a southward progression. Nearly all the convection is along and south of Interstate 85 and U.S. 80. The one exception is a thunderstorm over northern Chambers and southern Randolph Counties. None of these storms have been severe today, but are producing gusty winds, intense rain and frequent lightning. The rest of north Alabama has seen abundant sunshine with mostly sunny skies. It should be a great looking evening as most locations will remain dry. Today looks as though it was the better day of the weekend as storms tomorrow will go from more isolated to scattered. Rain chances will increase as we head into the first week of July.
