Midday Nowcast: Wet Tuesday Forecast
Periods of rain and storms continue across Alabama today and tonight. At the writing of this forecast, much of Central Alabama is seeing a break in the rain, but more rain and storms will develop through the afternoon and evening hours.
The rain could be heavy with rainfall totals near one inch; we are not expecting any severe thunderstorms, but we do expect some lightning and thunder at times. Temperatures today are ranging from the upper 60s to lower 70s.
TOMORROW/THURSDAY: A few isolated showers will remain possible these two days, but nothing widespread or heavy. We will continue to see a mix of sun and clouds and very mild temperatures with afternoon highs in the mid 70s.
WET AND STORMY END OF WEEK: A dynamic weather system will bring rain and thunderstorms back to Alabama Friday and into at least part of the day Saturday. The SPC maintains a risk of severe thunderstorms for the southern third of Alabama Friday and Friday night as some strong to severe storms are possible down that way. However, the main concern with the end of week system will be the potential for flooding. The rainfall will be heavy at times, and flooding is very possible. Rain amounts Friday and into Saturday will be in the 2-4 inch range for much of Alabama, with isolated higher amounts.
DRY WEATHER RETURNS: Finally sunshine and a drier weather will return to Alabama Saturday. Sunday will be a mostly sunny, cooler day with a high in the upper 50s and low 60s. The drier pattern looks to persist into next week with highs in the 60s Monday and Tuesday, followed by 70s over the latter half of the week.
