RADAR CHECK: Scattered showers and thunderstorms are most active over the northern and eastern counties of Alabama this afternoon; like recent days the stronger storms are producing heavy rain, gusty winds, and frequent lightning.

MOISTURE LEVELS SLOWLY RISING: High resolution model data hints a few isolated showers could form during the afternoon and evening hours across Alabama today; chance of any one spot seeing one of them is about one in eight.

CALMER WEATHER AHEAD: The persistent northwest flow aloft pattern that was over Alabama has broken down, and the weather will be calmer this week. The northwest flow brought a series of waves and boundaries down this way enhancing shower and thunderstorm formation, but now we have an upper ridge building in, and that will mean […]
