RADAR CHECK: The afternoon thunderstorm lottery is underway across Alabama this afternoon; showers and storms have formed in the hot, humid airmass in random places… generally drifting westward. Away from the showers, temperatures are in the 91-95 degree range with a partly sunny sky. Scattered storms end tonight after sunset.
The upper-ridge is back in place across the Deep South and our heat levels are rising. The days are hot and humid with highs in the low to mid 90s, and dew points are in the low to mid 70s.
HOT: The upper ridge holds across the Deep South through the week, and we project highs mostly in the mid 90s for Alabama. With high dew points/humidity levels, the heat index could touch 105 in spots, and the NWS has issued a “heat advisory” for a decent part of the state. A few cooling showers and storms will form daily during the heat of the day, mostly between 2:00 and 10:00 p.m.
It is that time of year where the weather in Alabama won’t change much from day to day. Look for partly sunny, hot, humid days with random, scattered showers and thunderstorms firing up during the afternoon and evening hours.
CLASSIC SUMMER WEATHER CONTINUES: Alabama’s weather won’t change much this week as the classic summer pattern continues. Look for partly sunny, hot, humid days with random, scattered showers and thunderstorms firing up during the afternoon and evening hours. Most of the summer soakers will come from 2:00 until 10:00 p.m… and odds of any one place getting wet are in the 30-40 percent range most of the week.
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.
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.
