Alabama 811 | Know What's Below.

Showers/Storms Develop Later Today

| May 27, 2015 @ 6:11 am

AT DAYBREAK: It is a quiet late May morning across the great state of Alabama; nothing on radar… the sky is mostly cloudy, and temperatures are mostly in the 65 to 70 degree range. The high resolution HRRR model suggests the best chance of rain today will come this afternoon with a band of showers and storms passing through.

SPC has all of the state in a “marginal” risk of severe weather today… a few of the afternoon storms could produce gusty winds and brief heavy rain, but organized severe weather isn’t likely.

TOMORROW/FRIDAY: Showers and storms remain possible, but they should be more scattered in nature, and mostly during the afternoon and evening hours. Otherwise, a mix of sun and clouds both days with a high up in the low to mid 80s.

THE WEEKEND: No real change… a moist airmass stays in place, but not much dynamic forcing for rain. So, we will deal with “scattered, mostly afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms Saturday and Sunday with a partly sunny sky both days. Highs will be in the mid 80s, right at average levels for the end of May in Alabama.

NEXT WEEK: Monday marks the beginning of meteorological summer, and is also the first day of the Atlantic/Gulf of Mexico hurricane season. Looks like the weather will be very routine for the week with warm, humid weather continuing along with some risk of scattered showers and storms on a daily basis. See the Weather Xtreme video for maps, graphics, and more details.

AT THE BEACH: About 6 to 8 hours of sunshine today with a passing shower or storm possible from Panama City west to Gulf Shores. Then, 7 to 9 hours of sun daily tomorrow through the weekend with widely scattered showers and storms. Highs on the immediate coast will remain in the low 80s, and the sea water temperature early this morning at the Dauphin Island Sea Lab is 78 degrees.

COLLEGE SOFTBALL WORLD SERIES: We have Alabama and Auburn playing in Oklahoma City in the tournament that begins tomorrow; if you are headed that way understand showers and storms are possible on a daily basis, and rain delays are certainly possible, if not likely. The weather will be mostly rain-free by Sunday, however. Highs will be mostly in the mid to upper 70s.
