Late Afternoon Radar Check
As expected, the radar is quite active this afternoon with numerous showers and storms covering the Alabama landscape. These storms are producing tremendous amounts of lightning, gusty winds, perhaps some small hail, and very intense downpours.
Watching the Radar
A very warm and muggy day is underway. Temperatures at midday are in the mid and upper 80s and we are seeing a mix of sun and clouds.
Midday Update: Not as Many Storms Today
We expect scattered storms this afternoon and this evening; stronger ones should be over the western side of the state where SPC has a “marginal risk” of severe storms defined for extreme and southwestern portions of the state.
Midday Update: Watching Strong Storms Heading South
SPC has much of the state highlighted in a “slight risk” (level 2 out of 5) for most of of the state today and tonight. An area of thunderstorms to our north, and likely a developing MCS (Mesoscale Convective System) should dive south and east this afternoon and evening which could enhance storms across the area. The main threat will come from strong straight line winds, possibly enough in a few spots to knock down trees and power lines.
Midday Update: Hot & Waiting on Afternoon Storms
We are seeing a mainly sunny sky and it is a hot and humid day with temperatures generally in the upper 80s and lower 90s across Central Alabama this afternoon. We are watching the radar, but as of just after noon, we are seeing no storms develop, but it is only a matter of time before the radar gets very active.
Midday Update: Hot, Hot, Hot
A heat advisory means the combination of hot temperatures and high humidity will combine to create a situation in which heat illnesses are possible.
Early Afternoon Update: More Storms on the Way
The SPC continues to have much of North/Central Alabama outlined in a “slight risk” (level 2 out of 5) for severe storms the rest of toda
Hot and Humid Afternoon
A hot and humid day, with more sun than clouds. Temperatures this afternoon are into the 90s and factor in those dewpoints in the 70s, and it is just downright uncomfortable across Central Alabama.
Hot and Humid Afternoon
A sunny and muggy Saturday afternoon with hot temps and very humid conditions. Dew points are in the 70s and that is making it feel rather sticky outside.

Stepping outside and it is downright sticky…Dewpoints are in the mid to upper 70s, which is about as high as they get in Alabama, we are seeing a mix of sun and clouds
Mugginess Abounds
Very warm and muggy weather is here to stay. We are seeing a mix of sun and clouds today, temperatures are in the mid and upper 80s, while humidity is just making it feel down right sticky.
Friday Midday Update: Waiting on Rain and Storms
Very moist air remains in place, and we are watching the radar at midday waiting on those showers and storms to develop.
Early Afternoon Update: Strong Storms Tracking East
Strong storms are tracking through Central Alabama this afternoon. At around 1PM, a line of strong storms was moving through West Alabama, moving to the east and east northeast at nearly 30 mph.
Stay Cool Out There
For the most part we are seeing tons of sun and hot temperatures highlighting the forecast for the weekend.
Superb Saturday Weather
It is oh so nice across the state and much of the Southeast today as sunshine is in full supply and we are all sitting in the 70s this afternoon.
