WEATHER FOR THE REST OF YOUR WEDNESDAY
Scattered to numerous showers and a few thunderstorms will continue to be possible across Central Alabama for the rest of the daylight hours with the higher chances remaining in the south and southwestern parts of the area. Afternoon highs will stay in the 80s across the area due to the cloud cover and rainfall. Rain chances range from 40% to 60% from northeast to southwest. For tonight and through the overnight hours, we’ll continue to have a chance of showers and maybe a few claps of thunder. Lows will be in the upper 60s to the lower 70s.
MORE RAIN & STORMS ON YOUR THURSDAY
As the upper trough combined with moisture from the remnants of the tropical disturbance moves closer to the area, rain and a few thunderstorms will be likely throughout the entire day. There will be breaks in the rain, but it will be an overall wet day with 1/4-inch to 1-inch rainfall totals possible (from southeast to northwest). Afternoon highs will stay in the upper 70s to the mid-80s across the area from northwest to southeast. Lows will be in the upper 60s to the lower 70s.
CHECK ON THE TROPICS
The Atlantic Basin is all quiet at this time and no tropical systems are expected to form within the next 5 days.
