The Midday Nowcast: Is Mother Nature Just Not A Fan Of All Things Fall?

CONDITIONS ACROSS CENTRAL ALABAMA AT 11:30 AM

Boy, it’s a hot and steamy one outside already, and it’s only 11:30! Temperatures are currently in the upper 80s to the lower 90s and we still haven’t hit the peak of daytime heating. Your not going to find much relief from any cloud cover at this point as skies are mostly clear and are expected to stay that way through the rest of the daylight hours. There are a few showers that have started popping up south of the area, and if they can hold together, the southeastern portions could see a few refreshing showers.

WEATHER FOR THE REST OF YOUR TUESDAY
Unfortunately, Mother Nature continues to be confused as she is keeping it hot across Central Alabama when we should be talking about the leaves changing colors and all the pumpkin spice stuff (yuck) that you can order. Skies will be mostly sunny across the area with afternoon highs hitting the lower to mid-90s. There is a very slight chance of a few isolated showers across the extreme northern parts of the area, as is the case with the extreme southern parts of the area, but those chances are less than 20%. For tonight, all of Central Alabama will enjoy mostly clear skies with mild temperatures as lows will drop down into the upper 60s to the lower 70s.

HOT & DRY ONCE AGAIN ON WEDNESDAY
The countdown to fall continues, but it will still feel like mid-July out there. We’ll have plenty of sunshine and very few clouds, with no rain expected anywhere in the area. Afternoon highs will once again top out in the lower to mid-90s, with one or two spots briefly hitting the upper 90s. Plenty of stars will be seen tomorrow evening as skies will be mainly clear. Overnight lows will be in the upper 60s to the lower 70s.

UPDATE ON THE TROPICS
The remnants of Florence is about to make her exit from the US Mainland and move out over the North Atlantic Ocean, as she is currently located over the New England states. She is moving to the east-northeast at 25 MPH. Joyce is still currently a tropical depression and is currently a few hundred miles south of the Azores. She is expected to become post tropical by tomorrow morning while moving to the west-southwest. No other hotspots are being identified by the National Hurricane Center.

ON THIS DAY IN WEATHER HISTORY
1989 – Hurricane Hugo hit Puerto Rico, producing wind gusts to 92 mph at San Juan, and wind gusts to 120 mph at Roosevelt Roads. Hugo produced a storm surge of four to six feet, and northeastern sections of the island were deluged with more than ten inches of rain. Hugo claimed the lives of a dozen persons in Puerto Rico, and caused a billion dollars damage, including 100 million dollars damage to crops. Thunderstorms representing what remained of Hurricane Octave continued to bring heavy rain to the valleys of northern California. Heavier 24 hour rainfall totals included 3.15 inches at Redding, and 2.66 inches at Red Bluff.
