While much of the area is dry with some sunshine peaking through the clouds, an already climbing instability and higher lapse rates are allowing rain and storms to develop and move across portions of North and Central Alabama.
Strong to severe thunderstorms will be possible across Central Alabama today, with a dry and warm spell starting Sunday and lasting into midweek, before scattered showers return later in the week.
