Heat Advisories remain in effect for all of Alabama today, and will likely be been extended into the weekend; Improving drought conditions across all of Alabama since last week.
Heat Advisories remain in effect for all of Alabama today, and have been extended through tomorrow as well. Again, a heat advisory means the combination of hot temperatures and high humidity can quickly lead to heat illnesses.
We have some very typical weather ahead for Alabama the rest of this week. Expect partly sunny, hot, humid days and the risk of some afternoon showers and storms.
The trend for the rest of the week will be for lower rain chances and higher heat levels as an upper ridge rebuilds over the region. Highs the rest of this week will mid 90s each day.
Scattered rain and storms remain in the forecast today and through the weekend as a very tropical air mass remains in place across Alabama.
The beneficial rains over the last week have helped drought conditions to improve across portions of Alabama, but again, it takes a while for drought conditions to form, and it takes time for drought conditions to go away.
It is a new day, but the forecast is not changing as a tropical, unstable air mass remains in place across Alabama and the Deep South this week. We are seeing scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms on the radar today and for the next couple of days.
As of late this morning, all the rain and storms are over the northern portions of the state, but through the afternoon and evening hours, the radar will get a lot more active across Central Alabama. Again, rainfall will be heavy at times, and expect lots of lightning if you find yourself under one of these storms.
Sun, clouds, hot temperatures, and high humidity, it looks and feels like mid-July in Alabama. Scattered showers and storms have been ongoing through the morning hours, but through the afternoon and evening hours, expect the coverage of rain and storms to increase.
Hot temperatures and high humidity may cause heat illnesses as heat index values up to 109° are expected across much of Alabama. With hotter weather in the forecast, these advisories will likely be extended through the weekend.
Hurricane Beryl remains a very powerful category 5 hurricane. Beryl is a historic storm, being the earliest category 5 hurricane on record in the Atlantic Basin, and only the second category 5 during the month of July (Emily 2005).
Routine summer weather is in the forecast with partly sunny, hot, humid days with the usual risk of scattered showers and storms on a daily basis generally during the afternoon and evening hours.
Recent data from an Air Force Reserve reconnaissance aircraft and visible satellite imagery indicate a well-defined center of circulation and is producing winds to near 35 mph, but the associated showers and thunderstorms are not quite organized enough for this system to be considered a tropical cyclone.
New day, same forecast with mainly dry and hot weather in place across Alabama. We continue to see a mix of sun and clouds, and rain chances are less than 10%, but a stray pop-up shower or two cannot be ruled out.
