For us in Alabama, the rest of our Saturday will continue to feature a cloudy sky and cool temps with 50s and 60s where the rain is falling, while other locations are in the 70s, especially across western and southwestern portions of the state.
Post-Tropical Cyclone Nestor will move farther inland over the Florida Panhandle this afternoon, and will then move across portions of the southeastern United States later tonight and Sunday. The cyclone is expected to move offshore of the coast of North Carolina into the western Atlantic by late Sunday.
The cold front has pushed into Alabama and has pretty much slowed to a crawl, bisecting the state currently with much cooler temperatures north of the front, where 50s and 60s are more common at midday, while south of the front, 70s and 80s are fairly prominent.
At midday, checking the radar we are seeing a band of showers which have developed just north of Montgomery and these are tracking north through Central Alabama.
Stepping outside, the Alabama blast furnace continues this weekend as the very strong upper-ridge in place remains the dominant feature in our weather.
High pressure to our northeast continues to provide an easterly flow into the state keeping us very dry with low humidity and fairly comfortable temps, especially in the morning hours.
Through the morning hours, we have seen mainly sunny conditions and that has allowed our temperatures to warm up fast and early this afternoon we are seeing them return to the 90s.
First off, a Heat Advisory continues for much of Central and South Alabama today as temperatures are well into the 90s this afternoon, and with enough humidity around, heat indices are going to be over 105° at times through the afternoon hours.
Not much change in the day to day weather through the holiday. Today, much of North/Central Alabama will be dry with a mix of sun and clouds and highs in the lower 90s
It is a very warm and muggy day, with temps in the upper 80s and lower 90s, but now that we are into the afternoon, showers and storms are beginning to develop across the Alabama landscape.
Tons of sunshine and very hot weather continues across Alabama this weekend. Temperatures this afternoon are well into the 90s and we are likely to see many locations hit the triple digits this afternoon.
Rain chances are pretty high today as numerous showers and storms are expected to meander across the Alabama landscape through the afternoon and evening hours.
Now that we are into the afternoon, we are beginning to see those fair weather cumulus clouds billow up in the Alabama sky, but still the sky remains mainly sunny.
