Sun And A Few Random, Scattered Storms Today For Alabama

SUN AND A FEW STORMS: We expect very routine June weather across Alabama today. A partly sunny sky with a high in the 87-91 degree range, along with a few random, widely scattered showers and storms this afternoon. Many places will be dry, but a few spots could see a heavy downpour.

TOMORROW AND THE WEEKEND: The overall idea remains the same. Sun at times plus scattered showers and thunderstorms on daily basis with highs in the mid to upper 80s, right at seasonal averages for mid-June. Coverage of showers and storms will be enhanced to some degree by a weak trough to the west; odds of any one spot getting wet each day are around 60 percent. Most, but not all, of the showers and storms will come from about 2:00 until 10:00 p.m. Unlike last weekend, organized severe thunderstorms are not expected, but the heavier storms over the weekend will produce gusty winds and very frequent lightning.

NEXT WEEK: Partly sunny, warm, very humid days with a few ransom showers or storms around during the afternoon and evening hours. Showers should be fewer in number as an upper ridge builds across the Deep South. This ridge will also bring hotter afternoons; most Alabama communities will see a high in the low 90s over the latter half of the week. See the video briefing for maps, graphics, and more details.

TROPICS: Again this morning the Atlantic basin is calm. No tropical storms, no hurricanes for at least the next seven days.

ON THIS DATE IN 1915: An estimated F4 tornado moved northeast from northwest of Waterville, Iowa crossing the Mississippi River two miles south of Ferryville, Wisconsin. A man and his daughter were killed in one of three homes that were obliterated southwest of “Heytman,” a small railroad station on the Mississippi River.

Look for the next video briefing here by 3:00 this afternoon… enjoy the day!
