A Few Showers And Storms Through Tomorrow
RADAR CHECK: Scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms are in progress over the northern 2/3 of Alabama this afternoon… they are moving northward, following the circulation of the upper low to the west over Mississippi. Temperatures are mostly in the 70s.
We will continue to forecast a few passing showers and a few thunderstorms tonight and tomorrow. It won’t rain all day tomorrow, and the sun will peek out at times, but expect rain at times and possibly a heavy downpour. The high tomorrow will be in the 75-80 degree range.
We should mention that showers will be hard to find near the Gulf Coast, and far South Alabama should be mostly dry tomorrow as the upper low begins to open up and lift out.
REST OF THE WEEK: Wednesday will be drier with just a few scattered showers over the northern and eastern counties. With a partly sunny sky temperatures rise into the mid 80s. Then, Thursday will be dry with a high in the 86-90 degree range. Most of the day Friday will be very warm and dry, but a few showers and storms could drop into North Alabama late in the day ahead of a cold front.
THE ALABAMA WEEKEND: That front will drift southward and become nearly stationary, which means there will be some risk of at least scattered showers and thunderstorms both Saturday and Sunday. Not as wet as the weekend we just experienced, but some rain will be possible at times along with a thunderstorm or two. We expect a mix of sun and clouds both days with highs in the mid to upper 80s.
NEXT WEEK: The week will be warm with highs in the 80s. For now we don’t see any major rain/storm events, but there could be a day or two with some risk of “scattered afternoon showers and thunderstorms”… See the video briefing for maps, graphics, and more details.
ON THIS DATE IN 1997: A towering F1 tornado ripped its way through the middle of Miami, Biscayne Bay, and Miami Beach right after lunch Monday, smashing cars and windows and tossing trees skyward.
ON THIS DATE IN 2022: One of the most extensive severe weather outbreaks of 2022 occurred as a derecho moved from eastern Nebraska into Minnesota, producing dozens of tornadoes and widespread damaging winds. Winds gusted as high as 100 mph.
Look for the next video briefing here by 6:00 a.m. tomorrow…
