Midday Nowcast: Mainly Dry and Getting Hot

| June 25, 2019 @ 11:02 am

Our Tuesday is fairly typical of what you expect for summer in Alabama as temperatures late this morning are in the 80s for the most part. We are seeing more sun than clouds and that will allow for highs this afternoon to reach the upper 80s and lower 90s. We will be watching the radar through the afternoon for a few widely, isolated storms to pop-up over the area, but most locations will stay high and dry today.

Scattered thunderstorms are a bit more likely over the southern half of the state where the SPC maintains a “marginal risk” (level 1/5) for severe storms today, defined for areas south of a line from Demopolis to Selma to Troy to Dothan, but even down that way, storms will be more scattered in nature.

For tonight, some clouds will linger with a few showers across the south during the evening. Lows tomorrow morning will range from the upper 60s in the north to the lower 70s down south.

TOMORROW-FRIDAY: Expect partly sunny days with highs generally in the lower 90s. Our chance for showers and thunderstorms will increase a bit these three days, with about a one in three chance of any particular location seeing a heat-relieving shower or storm; the greatest coverage of storms will come during the afternoon and evening hours. Organized severe weather is not expected, but with the available heat and humidity it is not out of the question to see an isolated severe storm any given day, with damaging winds gusts the main threat. Of course, any storms this time of year will produce tremendous amounts of dangerous and deadly lightning, and intense, but brief tropical downpours

TROPICS: All is quiet across the Atlantic Basin and no tropical cyclones are expected to form over the next five days.
