Hot Afternoons; Showers Scarce Through Sunday

James Spann | August 7, 2020 @ 5:28 am

QUIET PATTERN CONTINUES: The weather won’t change too much across Alabama through the weekend. Precipitable water values will drop a bit, meaning showers will be pretty hard to find each afternoon (although the chance of rain is not zero). Look for mostly sunny days, fair nights, and highs will be in the low 90s today, and between 92 and 95 over the weekend. Odds of any one spot getting wet today are 10 percent, and closer to 5 percent tomorrow and Sunday.

Mostly Dry Tomorrow Through Sunday

RADAR CHECK: Isolated showers and thunderstorms persist across Northeast Alabama this afternoon; a few of them are producing heavy downpours along with frequent lightning. But, most of the state is dry with a partly sunny sky. Temperatures are between 87 and 92 for most communities.

DOG DAYS: Alabama’s weather today will be much like recent days; partly sunny with just a few isolated showers and thunderstorms around. We note one lone shower over Cherokee County early this morning, but most of the showers will come during the afternoon and evening hours. Otherwise, today will be partly to mostly sunny with a high around 90 degrees. The average high for Birmingham on August 6 is 91.

RADAR CHECK: We do have a few isolated showers across the eastern half of Alabama this afternoon, they are small and moving quickly to the northeast. Otherwise, most communities are dry with a partly to mostly sunny sky; temperatures are mostly in the 87-92 degree range at mid-afternoon. The small showers will fade away tonight after sunset as the air cools and becomes more stable.

Quiet Pattern Continues With Only Isolated Showers

SHOWERS REMAIN VERY ISOLATED: A very quiet, calm summer weather pattern will persist across Alabama today and through the rest of the week and the weekend. Limited moisture means only a handful of showers or storms around during the afternoon and evening hours; odds of any one spot getting wet today are about 15 percent, then dropping to 5/10 percent tomorrow and Friday. Otherwise, look for partly to mostly sunny days and fair nights.

Showers Will Remain Few And Far Between

RADAR CHECK: We have a few small, isolated showers and thunderstorms across Alabama today, but most locations are dry with a partly to mostly sunny sky. Temperatures are in the 87-90 degree range for most communities, and the isolated showers will fade away once the sun goes down later this evening.

Quiet Weather Pattern For Alabama

James Spann | August 4, 2020 @ 4:24 am

ONLY ISOLATED SHOWERS: Drier air continue to slip into Alabama this morning, and that will limit rain chances today. Still, a few isolated showers or storms will be possible thanks to an unusually deep upper trough over the eastern third of the nation, but odds of any one spot getting wet today are only 15/20 percent. Otherwise, the day will be partly to mostly sunny with a high between 87 and 90 degrees.

Isolated Showers Tomorrow, Otherwise Dry For Most Of The State For Several Days

James Spann | August 3, 2020 @ 3:30 pm

RADAR CHECK: Strong thunderstorms persisted through the midday hours over Far East Alabama this afternoon ahead of a deep upper trough for summer. They produced hail in parts of Cherokee, Cleburne, and Calhoun counties earlier today. Most of those have moved over into Georgia, and for a large percentage of Alabama the sky is mostly sunny with temperatures close to 90 degrees this afternoon.

Isolated Showers Today, Then Mostly Dry

James Spann | August 3, 2020 @ 5:56 am

RADAR CHECK: We have a few small, isolated showers over Alabama early this morning ahead of an unusually strong upper trough for summer approaching from the west. Showers should push east of the state later today as the trough axis passes through; the day will be partly sunny with a high at or just over 90 degrees.

Hot, Mostly Dry Weekend Ahead

SHOWERS FEW AND FAR BETWEEN: Most of Alabama is dry again today; we are seeing only a few spotty showers over the northern quarter of the state at mid-afternoon. Otherwise, the sky is partly to mostly sunny with temperatures in the mid to upper 80s. Tonight will be mostly fair with a low between 65 and 70 degrees.
