RADAR CHECK: Large areas of light rain continue to move across the southern 2/3 of Alabama this afternoon. Rain amounts have been light so far, and they should remain light tonight as a layer of dry air in the higher levels of the atmosphere is limiting rain rates
RADAR CHECK: Rain is relatively widespread this morning across Alabama south of I-20, and west of I-65. Rain will continue to expand this morning, but the most widespread coverage and heavier totals will be over the southern half of the state thanks to a weak low moving through the northern Gulf of Mexico.
RADAR CHECK: Areas of light rain continue over the southern half of Alabama this afternoon near a stalled surface front/trough near the Gulf Coast. Most of the state has a cloudy sky, but the sun is out over the Tennessee Valley with temperatures in the 80s.
RADAR CHECK: We have large areas of mostly light rain across parts of Alabama early this morning with a mostly cloudy sky. We expect periods of rain through tomorrow night as a weak surface low moves along the Gulf Coast. The most widespread and beneficial rain will be over the southern half of the state, where amounts of one to two inches are likely.
RADAR CHECK: We have scattered showers over the southern third of Alabama this afternoon; the northern counties are dry with a good supply of sunshine. Temperatures are mostly in the 80s; Montgomery is one of the few spots reaching the 90 degree mark.
MOSTLY DRY TODAY: Much of Alabama will be rain-free today; we expect only a few isolated showers over the southern third of the state this afternoon. Highs will range from the mid to upper 80s over the northern counties, to the low 90s down south.
RADAR CHECK: We have a few isolated showers on radar over West and South Alabama this afternoon… nothing especially heavy or widespread. Otherwise, we have a mix of sun and clouds with temperatures ranging from the 80s over the eastern half of the state to the low 90s to the west.
SPOTTY SHOWERS LATER TODAY: We will mention the chance of a few widely scattered showers today and tomorrow, but the chance of any one given location seeing rain is 25 percent or less both days.
SUNNY LABOR DAY: The sky is mostly sunny across Alabama this afternoon with just a few isolated showers across the southeast counties of the state. Temperatures range from the upper 80s over the northern half of the state, to the mid 90s across Southeast Alabama. Tonight will be mostly fair with a low in the 67-74 degree range.
MOSTLY DRY LABOR DAY: Most of Alabama will be dry today with only isolated showers or storms over the southern third of the state this afternoon. We expect a high in the low 90s today… we note the average high for Birmingham on September 2 is 89.
RADAR CHECK: Again this afternoon we have random, scattered showers and thunderstorms across Alabama. Some are producing heavy rain and strong winds along with lots of lightning. They will fade after sunset, and most will be gone by 10:00 p.m. Away from the storms the sky is partly sunny with temperatures mostly in the 90s.
SCATTERED AFTERNOON STORMS: We have some pretty routine late summer weather for Alabama through the holiday weekend. Partly sunny days with random, scattered, mostly afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms. Most of the storms will come from about 1:00 until 10:00 p.m…. the chance of any spot seeing rain is 20-30 percent today, and 40-50 percent tomorrow through Monday.
RADAR CHECK: We have the classic case of random, scattered showers and thunderstorms across Alabama this afternoon. They are drifting slowly to the west/northwest, and some are producing heavy rain and gusty winds. But, for most of the state, it is simply another hot and dry day with temperatures in the 90s. Scattered showers and storms end after sunset; lows will be in the 70s early tomorrow.
CLASSIC LATE SUMMER WEATHER: Humidity levels are creeping up across Alabama, and with the increased moisture we will deal with the usual case of random, scattered showers and thunderstorms during the afternoon and evening hours on a daily basis through the Labor Day weekend.
