RADAR CHECK: We have the classic case of random showers and thunderstorms this afternoon across Alabama. Shower are moving little, and the heavier storms are producing heavy rain, gusty winds, and lots of lightning. Away from the storms, the sky is partly sunny with temperatures in the 86-90 degree range. Showers and storms will fade away late tonight after sunset.
The week is ending the way it started…very warm and muggy with temperatures ranging from the low 80s to lower 90s across Alabama this afternoon.
On the forecast track, the system will move across the southwestern Caribbean Sea today, cross southern Nicaragua or northern Costa Rica tonight, and emerge over the eastern Pacific Ocean on Saturday.
WELCOME TO JULY: We begin the second month of meteorological summer with the usual mix of sun and scattered thunderstorms across Alabama and the Deep South through the holiday weekend. Look for partly sunny days with highs in the 86-90 degree range. Random, scattered showers and storms will form mainly during the afternoon and evening hours, from roughly 2:00 until 10:00 p.m. We just can’t tell you in advance exactly when and where the storms fire up; for outdoor events just keep a close eye on radar trends.
RADAR CHECK: Showers and thunderstorms are active this afternoon in a band from York and Livingston in West Alabama, down through places like Camden and Andalusia in South Alabama. Other random storms are forming over the northeast and eastern counties as well… otherwise we have a mix of sun and clouds today with temperatures mostly in the mid to upper 80s.
