A Few Storms Tonight; Typical Summer Weather For The Weekend
RADAR CHECK: Showers are almost impossible to find across Alabama this afternoon; the rain overnight last night and early this morning helped to stabilize the atmosphere. Heat levels are also down; many communities are only in the mid to upper 80s with a partly to mostly sunny sky. We are watching stronger storms over North Georgia; some of those will likely move into Alabama this evening.
TOMORROW AND THE WEEKEND: The summer mix of sun and storms will continue. Best chance of a passing shower or storm will come during the afternoon and evening hours, and the chance of any one spot getting wet each day is 55-65 percent. Afternoon highs will be in the 88-92 degree range, which is just what we expect in late June in Alabama.
NEXT WEEK: The summer pattern will stay in place through the week and into the Fourth of July weekend. Each day we will have a mix of sun and clouds with scattered showers and thunderstorms, mainly in the 1:00-10:00 p.m. time frame. Highs will remain in the upper 80s and low 90s for most communities… See the video briefing for maps, graphics, and more details.
TROPICS: The Atlantic basin remains very calm. Tropical storm/hurricane formation is not expected for at least the next seven days.
ON THIS DATE IN 1986: Hurricane Bonnie made landfall on the upper Texas coast. A wind gust to 98 mph occurred at Sea Rim State Park. Ace, Texas recorded a total of 13 inches of rain.
Look for the next video briefing here by 6:00 a.m. tomorrow…
