Plenty of Sun… Plenty of Heat: It’s The Midday Nowcast For Central Alabama

CONDITIONS AT 11:00 AM ACROSS CENTRAL ALABAMA
As we make the run-up to the midday hour in Central Alabama, we are getting plenty of sunshine with only a few small clouds floating overhead. With these mostly clear skies, radar is free of any shower activity at this point. Temperatures are currently running in the mid to upper 80s, with Birmingham coming in as the only place in the 90s at 90 degrees.

WEATHER FOR THE REST OF YOUR MONDAY
Even though we are getting closer to the end of “Meteorological Summer,” it doesn’t mean that we’ll be getting a break from the hot temperatures that we have in late August. Skies will be mostly clear to partly cloudy throughout Central Alabama today, with much of the area staying dry. North of I-20, the chance of an isolated shower or storm is there, but it is very small and almost not worth mentioning. As you head south of a line from Tuscaloosa to Clanton to Alexander City, those chances increase from 20%-40% from north to south, with the highest chances south of the I-85 corridor. Afternoon highs will be in the lower 90s. While an isolated shower may linger into the evening hours in the southeastern parts of the area, all of Central Alabama will be dry through the nighttime hours. Lows will be in the lower to mid-70s.

DON’T EXPECT MUCH CHANGE FOR TUESDAY
Tuesday will be a near repeat of today with the only difference being slightly higher chance of an isolated shower or storm throughout the area during the afternoon hours, ranging in the 20-30% range. Highs in the lower 90s.

TROPICAL OUTLOOK FOR THE ATLANTIC BASIN
We are nearing the peak of hurricane season for the Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea, and the Gulf of Mexico, fortunately, it looks to be quiet for the next several days.
