RADAR CHECK: We have a few isolated, small showers across Alabama this afternoon, otherwise the sky features a mix of sun and clouds with temperatures mostly in the 80s. Low 90s are being reported across the southeast counties of the state; Ozark is up to 93 degrees at mid-afternoon.
LIKE SUMMER: We project a high in the 87-91 degree range across Alabama today with a mix of sun and clouds. A few isolated showers or storms could pop up this afternoon and early tonight, but many places will be dry.
RADAR CHECK: We have a few widely scattered showers over mainly the western half of Alabama at mid-afternoon; temperatures are in the mid to upper 80s with a mix of sun and clouds. We note Dothan has reached 91 degrees.
FEELS LIKE SUMMER: A humid airmass covers Alabama this morning with temperatures mostly in the 70s at daybreak. With a partly sunny sky temperatures rise into the mid to upper 80s this afternoon, and a few scattered showers and storms will form during the heat of the day.
RADAR CHECK: We have some lingering light rain early this morning across parts of North and East Alabama, but most of the state is dry with a cloudy sky along with temperatures in the 60s. Today will be another warm, humid day with a mix of sun and clouds along with a few scattered showers and thunderstorms this afternoon and tonight.
SUMMER PATTERN STAYS IN PLACE: Look for highs mostly in the mid 80s across Alabama through Friday, about 5 degrees above average for mid-May. The weather will remain warm and humid with a mix of sun and clouds daily along with random, scattered showers and thunderstorms. Most of them (but not necessarily all) will come during the afternoon and evening hours, from roughly 2:00 until 9:00 p.m.
RADAR CHECK: Scattered strong to severe thunderstorms continue across parts of East-Central Alabama this afternoon. The storms are dropping southward, and heavier ones are producing strong gusty winds and some hail. A few counties have been placed under severe thunderstorm warnings. The rest of the state is warm and dry with a partly sunny sky..
LIKE SUMMER: Temperatures are mostly in the low to mid 80s across Alabama this afternoon with a mix of sun and clouds. Showers are most active over the southern half of the state, but a few isolated showers have formed over the northern counties as well.
RADAR CHECK: At mid-afternoon most of the scattered showers and storms across Alabama are over the Tennessee Valley; a few spots there are seeing heavy rain. But, for the rest of the state, showers are few and far between with a mix of sun and clouds. Temperatures are mostly in the 84-89 degree range, and the scattered showers will end this evening.
FOGGY START FOR SOME: A dense fog advisory is in effect for parts of Central and Southwest Alabama early this morning; that fog will dissipate by mid-morning. Otherwise it is a calm morning across Alabama with very few showers on radar at daybreak. The sky will be occasionally cloudy today, with scattered showers and storms forming by midday, and continuing through the evening hours.
RADAR CHECK: A number of summer soakers are in progress across Alabama this afternoon… heaviest rain is generally south of I-20. Understand it isn’t raining everywhere… that is just the way it works here this time of the year. Summer thunderstorms are random and scattered, but the stronger storms this afternoon are producing torrential rain, strong gusty winds, small hail, and lots of lightning.
NOT AS HOT: The core of the upper high that has been responsible for above average temperatures across the Deep South over the past week is shifting west, meaning lower heat levels this week, and a better coverage of afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms. Humidity values will be high each day, but afternoon highs this week will be mostly in the 85-89 degree range, a good ten degrees lower than those we experienced last week.
RADAR CHECK: At daybreak we have a band of showers and thunderstorms dropping southward through the southern third of Alabama, and a handful of isolated showers over the Tennessee Valley of far North Alabama. Better chance of strong storms today will be over extreme South Alabama, where SPC has defined a “marginal risk” of severe thunderstorms due to the potential for some hail and strong gusty winds.
RADAR CHECK: Scattered showers and thunderstorms persist over the northern quarter of the state this afternoon, but Central and South Alabama dry with a partly to mostly sunny sky. Temperatures are mostly in the 85-90 degree range; the average high for Birmingham on June 7 is 87. Storms over North Alabama will diminish later tonight after sunset.
