Will It Rain All Day?

| July 4, 2015 @ 8:21 am

The answer is…no.

Almost everyone will see rain today, but there will be breaks.

The current band of rain covering nearly all of North Central Alabama is beginning to slowly diminish at this hour. It should end over western Alabama by 10 a.m. and in the Birmingham area by noon.

Locations along and east of I-65 should see a 2-4 hour break in the rain through early afternoon.

But additional rain and storms will move into and form over western Alabama starting around noon, and this activity will work its way across the area through the afternoon with most folks seeing another 2-3 hours of rain.

Based on the HRRR model, which we are depicting above in a 15 hour loop, the rain should start again in Birmingham around mid-afternoon and last 2-3 hours. Then there could be a nice break for several hours, perhaps allowing Thunder on the Mountain and other fireworks displays to go off without any rain problems.

None of this is poured in concrete and is based on model data, so stay tuned.

LATE NOTE
3.12 inches at Birmingham Airport so far today through 8:15 a.m. This is a new record rainfall for July 4th in the Magic City. The former record (2.10″0 was recorded in the first year we have reliable records, 1895!
