RADAR CHECK: Bands of showers and thunderstorms continue across Alabama early this morning… at daybreak some of the heaviest rain was over Chambers, Randolph, and Cleburne counties on the eastern side of the state.
RADAR CHECK: A large mass of rain and a few thunderstorms is over Southwest Alabama this afternoon as a hybrid low over the Gulf moves inland. Most of North Alabama is dry with only isolated showers… temperatures are mostly in the 70s.
The upper trough continues to remain a player in our weather, along with a surface low moving onshore along the Northwestern Gulf Coast. Widespread rain and storms are spreading northward from the Coast and clouds and rain will become widespread later this evening, overnight, and into tomorrow.
UNSETTLED PATTERN: Again this morning we have some fog issues; a dense fog advisory is in effect for the northern quarter of the state. The fog will dissipate later this morning… otherwise we expect a mix of sun and clouds today with a few scattered showers and storms around this afternoon and tonight.
RADAR CHECK: Scattered strong thunderstorms are pushing into Northwest Alabama this afternoon, otherwise with a partly sunny sky temperatures are mostly in the 80s. A severe thunderstorm watch has been issued for the northern third of the state until 10pm
Morning fog has given way to midday sun across the state. This afternoon, the warm temperatures and muggy conditions will allow for some thunderstorms across Alabama.
FOGGY START: There is a dense fog advisory for the northern 2/3 of Alabama early this morning, otherwise the sky is mostly cloudy at daybreak with just a few isolated showers over the southeast corner of the state. Look for a mix of sun and clouds across the Deep South today with scattered showers and storms developing this afternoon.
Patchy Dense Fog across portions of Alabama as low visibility could make driving conditions hazardous.
RADAR CHECK: A large mass of rain is moving along the Gulf Coast this afternoon… the rest of Alabama is dry with a mix of sun and clouds along with temperatures mostly in the 70s. Rain is likely for the far southern part of the state this evening
Widespread rain returned to Alabama overnight, but the majority of it today has pushed east into Georgia. For the rest of today, we are going to continue to see scattered showers and the occasional thunderstorm across Alabama.
WINDY START: A wake low has developed on the back edge of the large rain mass that has been moving through overnight; gradient winds of 30-40 mph have been reported over many West Alabama counties just before daybreak. The stronger winds will last for about 30 minutes or so; a few trees could come down due to the saturated soil conditions
RADAR CHECK: We have a few patches of light rain over the central counties of Alabama this afternoon… otherwise the sky is partly sunny with temperatures mostly in the 70s. Communities across far South Alabama have reached the low 80s.
It is another great day of weather with despite increasing clouds, it remains very comfortable with highs in the mid to upper 70s.
RAIN AHEAD: Most of Alabama will be dry during the day today, but a few showers are possible over the southwest corner of the state this afternoon. Tonight a large rain mass will likely move into the state ahead of a slow moving upper low to the west, which will keep Alabama’s weather wet at times for several days.
