Plenty of sunshine across Alabama today. It is very warm to hot as well with temperatures in the upper 80s and lower 90s across the state. Factor in that humidity, and it sure feels a lot like summer.
We stay mainly dry and very warm today, but a few strong storms may be possible over the western parts of the area on Sunday.
When we’re short on time but I still want to put a delicious home-cooked meal on the table, I often turn to recipes that combine a simple pan-seared chicken breast with a flavorful sauce. This Honey Garlic Pecan Chicken is a perfect example. A thin chicken breast is seasoned and lightly dusted with flour, seared in olive oil, and then the sauce comes together by toasting some pecans and adding some butter, fresh garlic and honey. This is great served alongside some jasmine rice and a fresh vegetable side like broccoli or green beans. And the sauce is great served over the rice, too!

RADAR CHECK: A few isolated storms are on radar this afternoon, mostly over the eastern half oF Alabama. They are showing very little movement due to light upper air winds; and so far they are not as strong as yesterday thanks to warmer air aloft. Otherwise, the sky is partly sunny today with temperatures generally in the upper 80s. Once again Tuscaloosa is the hot spot with 92 degrees as of 2:00 p.m.
At 12:10 pm, radar is free of any shower or thunderstorm activity, but I wouldn’t be surprised if we see more isolated shower and thunderstorm development later this afternoon and into the early evening hours.
SUN, HEAT, A FEW STORMS: Not much change in the Alabama weather situation today. Partly sunny, very warm, and a few isolated storms during the peak of the daytime heating process this afternoon and early tonight. The high will be in the 87 to 90 degree range. Odds of any one place getting wet are around one in eight.
