RADAR CHECK: Showers and thunderstorms continue to increase over the western half of Alabama this afternoon… but they are under severe limits. So far the eastern side of the state has remained dry. We will maintain the chance of showers and storms this evening; they should diminish later tonight.
SCATTERED SHOWERS TODAY: The radar is quiet early this morning; no rain across Alabama and most of Mississippi; temperatures are mostly in the 60s. The sky will feature more clouds than sun today, and scattered showers and storms will develop this afternoon. But, the rain won’t be as widespread as yesterday, and severe storms are not forecast. In fact, a decent part of the day should be dry. The high this afternoon will be in the low 80s.
HEAVIER STORMS SHIFTING INTO SOUTH ALABAMA: The line of storms over Northwest Alabama this morning just didn’t want to go away. In fact, the storms intensified as they moved eastward, producing scattered tree and power line damage in a number of counties. As of 3:00, the heavier storms have shifted down into the southern half of Alabama.
A FEW STRONG STORMS LATER TODAY: We have a few light rain showers over Northwest Alabama early this morning, but most of the state is dry with temperatures in the upper 60s and low 70s. To the west, a large mass of rain covers the broad zone from Memphis down into North Louisiana. Much of this is expected to dissipate before reaching Alabama, but additional showers and storms are expected to form this afternoon and early tonight. Where storms do form, they could be strong, and SPC has much of the state in a “marginal risk” (level 1/5).
RADAR CHECK: We have a few, small, isolated showers over parts of Central and South Alabama this afternoon, but most of Alabama is dry with a partly sunny sky. Temperatures are generally in the mid to upper 80s, but we note Tuscaloosa reached 90 degrees at 2:00.
WARM SPRING WEATHER CONTINUES: With a partly sunny sky, we project a high in the 86-89 degree range across Alabama today… the average high for May 8 at Birmingham is 80. A few isolated showers could pop up over the southern half of the state this afternoon, but even there most places will stay dry.
DRY WEATHER CONTINUES: The sky is mostly sunny across Alabama this afternoon; the sun is filtered to some degree by high cirrus clouds. Temperatures are generally in the mid 80s. The sky will remain mostly clear tonight.
WARMER AFTERNOONS: Dry weather will continue across Alabama through tomorrow; the sky will be mostly sunny with afternoon highs in the 86-89 degree range for most communities. While we enjoy the quiet weather, an active severe weather pattern sets up for parts of the Southern Plains down into Texas. There is a “moderate risk” (level 4/5) of severe storms today for parts of the Texas Panhandle over into far West Oklahoma.
PICTURE PERFECT SPRING DAY: It is indeed a beautiful afternoon across Alabama. A sunny sky, low humidity, and comfortable temperatures… generally between 76 and 81 degrees at mid-afternoon. Tonight will be clear and pleasant.
