More Strong Storms Possible Later Today, Heat Levels Rise For The Weekend

| June 20, 2019 @ 5:34 am

STRONG STORMS REMAIN POSSIBLE LATER TODAY: Once the rain and thunderstorms die off or move out of the area this morning, we should see a little time of mostly quiet weather until more showers and thunderstorms form during the afternoon and evening hours. Much of Central Alabama has been placed in a Marginal Risk for severe storms for today and tonight, with a portion of the eastern parts of the area in a Slight Risk. We could see some larger hail up to golf ball size in diameter along with damaging winds up to 60 MPH with any severe storms that may develop, especially in the Slight Risk locations. The window for stronger to severe storms will be from 12:00 pm to 11:00 pm tonight. Highs will be in the mid-80s to the lower 90s.

HEAT STARTS TO CRANK UP ON FRIDAY: Ridging really starts to build over the southeastern parts of the country and that will bring warmer and more moist air into Central Alabama. A few scattered showers will be possible during the heating of the day, but should quickly die off around or just after sunset. Highs will be in the lower to mid-90s.

THE CENTRAL ALABAMA WEEKEND: High pressure will be set up over the Big Bend area coastline of Florida which will pump more warm and humid air up into Central Alabama on Saturday. There will be scattered showers and storms mainly east of the I-65 corridor while it stays dry west of that. Highs will be in the low to mid-90s. The high stays in place on Sunday which will continue a small chance of scattered afternoon showers and thunderstorms. Highs will be in the mid to upper 90s for most across the area.

FIRST HALF OF NEXT WEEK: A system that will start off the day on Monday out to our west will move through the area later in the day and through the day on Tuesday, bringing us an increased risk of showers and thunderstorms. Monday’s highs will be in the upper 80s to the mid-90s while dropping down into the mid-80s to the lower 90s on Tuesday. Wednesday looks to be a much drier day as high pressure will be off to our west. A few isolated afternoon showers are possible with highs reaching the upper 80s to the lower 90s.
