Calera was the surprising cool spot at 70 degrees while Troy and Montgomery were tied as the warm spots at 84 degrees. Birmingham was sitting at 75 degrees.

MARGINAL RISK FOR SEVERE STORMS LATER TODAY

All of North/Central Alabama has been placed in a LEVEL 1 MARGINAL RISK for severe storms for today and tonight as a strong upper-level system approaches the area. Scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms are expected to form and may become strong to severe. The main window for the potential of severe storms will begin around 2:00 pm in the west and southwestern parts of the area and will come to an end around 10:00 pm in the east and northeastern parts. Damaging winds up to 60 MPH and hail up to 1 inch in diameter or greater will be possible, along with heavy rainfall and dangerous cloud-to-ground lightning.

Rain chances will continue through the late night and overnight hours as well. Afternoon highs will be in the 80s across the area today with overnight lows only dipping into the 60s.
