Showers & Storms Likely Today, with Rain Chances Decreasing Through Midweek
A stalled front will bring all of Central Alabama a good chance of showers and storms today, but rain chances will slowly decrease through midweek. Typical summertime weather returns to end the workweek.
Showers/Storms More Numerous Tomorrow; Heat Levels Down
RADAR CHECK: Scattered showers and storms are in progress across Alabama this afternoon… the most numerous ones at mid-afternoon are over the southern half of the state. Additional thunderstorms are expected to form over North Alabama over the next few hours ahead of a weak surface front over Tennessee, and those could be strong.
Rain Chances Going Up; Heat Levels Coming Down
SHOWER/STORM COVERAGE INCREASING: A surface front will approach the Alabama/Tennessee border over the next 24 hours, bringing an increase in the number of scattered showers and storms to the state. We can’t promise rain for everyone later today, but any one spot will have a 45-55 percent chance of getting wet for a time or two. SPC maintains a “marginal risk” (level 1/5) of severe thunderstorms for the northern quarter of the state this afternoon.
Showers/Storms Increasing In Number This Weekend
RADAR CHECK: Most of the showers and thunderstorms today are over the far southern part of the state, in association with the sea breeze front. Showers elsewhere are few and far between. The sky is partly sunny with temperatures in the low to mid 90s. Showers will end after sunset, and tonight will be mostly fair with a low in the 70s.
Scattered Showers/Storms More Numerous By The Weekend
ANOTHER HOT, HUMID SUMMER DAY AHEAD: With a good supply of sunshine today, we project a high in the 91-95 degree range for most places this afternoon. A few showers or storms could form during the heat of the day, but they should be widely separated.
Hot, Humid Summer Afternoon With A Few Showers
RADAR CHECK: Scattered showers are in progress at mid-afternoon across parts of North Alabama, mostly between Birmingham and Huntsville. Scattered showers are also over parts of Baldwin County, mainly south of I-10. But, most of the state is hot and dry with temperatures in the low to mid 90s. Scattered showers will end after sunset, and the sky will be mostly fair tonight.
More Hot, Muggy Summer Weather Ahead
ISOLATED SHOWERS LATER TODAY: Hot, humid summer weather continues across Alabama today and tomorrow with partly sunny days, fair nights, and few “pop up” afternoon and evening showers and storms. Odds of any one spot seeing rain both days are 15-25 percent, and highs will be in the 90-95 degree range, which is what you expect in late July.
Hot/Humid Summer Weather; A Few Showers
RADAR CHECK: Showers are more isolated across Alabama this afternoon; the ones that have formed are moving to the east/northeast. But most locations are dry with a partly sunny sky… temperatures are in the low 90s in most spots. Isolated showers will end this evening, and the sky will be mostly fair tonight.
