At Midday: Plenty of Sunshine, Plenty of Heat

WEATHER ACROSS CENTRAL ALABAMA AT 11:15 AM

At this point on your late Wednesday morning, we have mostly clear skies across Central Alabama along with very warm temperatures already. We’re looking at mostly mid to upper 80s, while we do have a couple of locations coming in a little cooler due to some cloud cover. Birmingham was at 88 degrees. No rain on the radar for any location in Central Alabama.

WEATHER FOR THE REST OF YOUR WEDNESDAY
Much, if not all, of the northern half of Central Alabama will remain dry, especially locations north of a line from Reform to Birmingham to Anniston, while south of that line, the chance of scattered to numerous showers increase as you move south closer to the stalled frontal boundary. Showers and storms will be likely south of a line from Demopolis to Montgomery to Auburn. No matter the rain situation, it will be a hot and humid one out there, with highs in the upper 80s to the lower 90s. As with any other day in the summertime, much of the activity will begin to diminish after we lose the heating of the day, and nearly all activity will be gone by midnight. We’ll have to watch for the development of some patchy fog in the areas where it rains today. Lows will be in the lower to mid 70s.

LOOK BEFORE YOU LOCK
Never leave children, disabled or elderly adults, or pets in parked vehicles. Studies have shown that the temperature inside a parked vehicle can rapidly rise to a dangerous level for children, pets and even adults. Leaving the windows slightly open does not significantly decrease the heating rate. The effects can be more severe on children because their bodies have not developed the ability to efficiently regulate internal temperature. Heat related deaths are preventable, so look before you lock.
