Humidity Levels Rising In Coming Days

| August 13, 2015 @ 3:26 pm

SUNNY AUGUST AFTERNOON: As expected, this is another very nice summer day across Alabama, with a good supply of sunshine, low humidity, and temperatures generally in the 88 to 91 degree range. Keep in mind on this date in 2007, our high was 103, so it can be sizzling hot in mid-August. Cooler spots actually started the day in the 50s; Vic Bell at Black Creek reported 58 degrees at daybreak.

We do see two small showers over far East Alabama, in Cleburne and Randolph County, but the majority of the showers and storms are over Georgia, especially around Atlanta. Most of the state will stay dry tonight, although it won’t be as cool as last night.

TOMORROW THROUGH SUNDAY: Moisture levels slowly rise, and a few spots could see a passing shower or thunderstorm tomorrow afternoon. Otherwise, the day will be partly sunny with a high around 90 degrees. That is pretty much the situation for the weekend; a decent amount of sunshine Saturday and Sunday, but the risk of a few scattered showers and thunderstorms during the afternoon hours. Most communities will see a high between 90 and 93 degrees.

NEXT WEEK: No big change; pretty standard August weather for at least the first half of the week, with partly sunny days and the risk of “scattered, mostly afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms”. Highs will stay in the low 90s. See the Weather Xtreme video for maps, graphics, and more details.

GULF COAST WEATHER: About 7 to 9 hours of sunshine daily on the Gulf Coast from Panama City Beach west to Gulf Shores with the risk of a passing storm from time to time. Highs will stay in the upper 80s on the coast, with low 90s inland. Sea water temperatures remain mostly in the mid 80s.

TROPICS: All remains very quiet across the vast Atlantic basin this afternoon.
