At Midday: A Little Cooler & Not Quite As Humid; A Few Showers Already Out There

Conditions Across Central Alabama At 11:15 AM

We are already starting to see showers popping up in the eastern half of Central Alabama as we are making the approach up to the noon hour. Heaviest showers at this point are over Chambers and Lee counties. The rest of the shower activity is smaller and spotty. All of the shower activity is moving to the south. For the rest of the area, clouds are covering much of the sky, but there are a few breaks of sunshine. Temperatures are currently in the mid-70s to the lower 80s, with the warmer air down in the southwestern pars of the area. Birmingham was at 81 degrees.

Weather For The Rest Of Your Monday
Drier air is starting to make its way towards Central Alabama, but we’ll continue to have very warm conditions for this afternoon. Skies will be partly to mostly cloudy with the best chance for scattered to numerous shower and thunderstorm activity being east of a line from Jasper (Walker Co.) to West Blocton (Bibb Co.) to Selma (Dallas Co.), higher the farther east you go. West of that line, there will be a small risk for a few isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms. Afternoon highs will top out in the mid-80s to the lower 90s, but those may be held down in places due to cloud cover and rainfall. Through the evening and overnight hours, shower and storm chances will diminish as we approach the late night hours, but a stray shower or two may linger for a little while after midnight. Lows will be in the upper 60s to the lower 70s.
