RADAR CHECK: Large areas of light rain continue to move across the southern 2/3 of Alabama this afternoon. Rain amounts have been light so far, and they should remain light tonight as a layer of dry air in the higher levels of the atmosphere is limiting rain rates
A low pressure is tracking east along the Northern Gulf Coast and will keep us cloudy today with periods of rain today and tonight.
RADAR CHECK: Rain is relatively widespread this morning across Alabama south of I-20, and west of I-65. Rain will continue to expand this morning, but the most widespread coverage and heavier totals will be over the southern half of the state thanks to a weak low moving through the northern Gulf of Mexico.

Clouds and rain are increasing over the today and through the day tomorrow as a low pressure will track east along the Northern Gulf Coast.
RADAR CHECK: We have large areas of mostly light rain across parts of Alabama early this morning with a mostly cloudy sky.

Mostly dry again today, and highs are in the mid 80s. Rain coverage will begin to increase over the southern counties of the state tomorrow and Friday as a low pressure will develop and track east across the Northern Gulf Coast.
MOSTLY DRY TODAY: Much of Alabama will be rain-free today; we expect only a few isolated showers over the southern third of the state this afternoon. Highs will range from the mid to upper 80s over the northern counties, to the low 90s down south.
RADAR CHECK: We have a few isolated showers on radar over West and South Alabama this afternoon… nothing especially heavy or widespread. Otherwise, we have a mix of sun and clouds with temperatures ranging from the 80s over the eastern half of the state to the low 90s to the west.
It is a cooler day across Alabama as afternoon temperatures are in the upper 80s to lower 90s. Moisture levels rise today, and we will bring in the chance of scattered showers and thunderstorms, mostly during the afternoon and evening hours.
SPOTTY SHOWERS LATER TODAY: We will mention the chance of a few widely scattered showers today and tomorrow, but the chance of any one given location seeing rain is 25 percent or less both days.
SUNNY LABOR DAY: The sky is mostly sunny across Alabama this afternoon with just a few isolated showers across the southeast counties of the state. Temperatures range from the upper 80s over the northern half of the state, to the mid 90s across Southeast Alabama. Tonight will be mostly fair with a low in the 67-74 degree range.
Plenty of sunshine across Alabama today is allowing temperatures to surge into the low 90s this afternoon. Most of Alabama will be dry today with only isolated showers or storms over the southern third of the state this afternoon.
