Midday Nowcast: More Clouds than Sun Today
The rain and storms from this morning have pushed down into South Alabama as the front slowly becomes stationary over the state. The SPC maintains a “marginal risk” (level 1/5) for severe storms today, for the southern third of state, as a few storms could produce gusty winds and some hail.
For the rest of the state, the sky will remain mainly cloudy with scattered showers and perhaps a few storms this afternoon and overnight. Highs today will be in the mid-70s, while lows will be in the 50s overnight.
TOMORROW/WEDNESDAY: The stalled front across South Alabama means the next few days will remain generally cloudy with periods of rain and storms at times. We note the SPC has the southern third of the state under a “marginal risk” for severe storms again tomorrow as a few storms down that way could be strong/severe.
Highs tomorrow will be again in the mid-70s, but only mid and upper 60s are in the forecast for Wednesday. Rain amounts this week for much of the state 1-2 inches, with higher amounts likely to the south.
