No Heat Relief At Midday, But Could Some See Showers Tomorrow?

| May 29, 2019 @ 12:02 pm

HOW’S THE WEATHER AT 12:00 PM?
We have plenty of sunshine bearing down on Central Alabama with very little in the way of clouds to help cool any one spot for a minute or two from this unseasonal heat. Temperatures are in the mid-80s to the lower 90s across the area. Birmingham was at 89 degrees. The hot spot was Troy at 91 degrees while the cool spot was Alabaster at 84 degrees.

MORE SUN AND MORE HEAT FOR THE REST OF TODAY
We’ll continue to have plenty of sunshine across Central Alabama for the remainder of the afternoon and into the early evening hours with very few cumulus clouds forming. Afternoon highs will top out in the lower to mid-90s. Skies will be mostly clear across much of the area tonight, but cloud cover will begin to increase across the western parts of the area during the overnight hours. Lows will be in the upper 60s to the lower 70s across the area.

COULD SOME OF US BE LUCKY ENOUGH TO SEE A SHOWER ON THURSDAY?
The answer to that question will be, “it is possible.” We’ll start off with mostly clear to partly cloudy skies, but clouds will be on the increase throughout the day. By the afternoon hours, we could see a small chance of a few isolated showers and thunderstorms over the northwestern parts of the area while the rest will remain dry. Afternoon highs will be in the mid-80s to the lower 90s. For Thursday night, those small isolated shower and thunderstorm chances will move over all of Central Alabama, which will be around 20%. Skies will be partly to mostly cloudy with lows in the mid-60s to the lower 70s.
