Strong Storms Over Northwest Alabama This Evening

James Spann | August 18, 2021 @ 3:21 pm

RADAR CHECK: Most of Alabama is dry this afternoon, but strong storms are entering the northwest corner of the state ahead of an upper trough. A few storms over Northwest Alabama this evening could produce strong gusty winds… SPC maintains a “marginal risk” for areas north of a line from Hamilton to Huntsville. Away from the storms, the sky is partly to mostly sunny with temperatures mostly in the low 90s… right at seasonal averages for mid-August.

HOT, HUMID DAY AHEAD: We expect a pretty decent amount of sun across Alabama today with a high around 90 degrees this afternoon, but a few pop up storms are possible during the peak of the heat. The better chance of thunderstorms is across the Tennessee Valley of North Alabama, and SPC has a low end “marginal risk” (level 1/5) of severe storms defined for areas north of a line from Hamilton to Decatur to Huntsville.

RADAR CHECK: We have a few scattered showers and thunderstorms across Central Alabama at mid-afternoon, in a broad band from near Centreville to Clanton to Auburn. The showers are drifting north, and will end after sunset. The rest of the state has a partly sunny sky, and temperatures are mostly in the 87-91 degree range.

A FEW AFTERNOON SHOWERS/STORMS: We do note a few isolated showers early this morning over the northwest corner of Alabama, but the rest of the state is rain-free as the day begins with temperatures around 70 degrees. Upper ridging builds over the region temporarily, and that should mean a decrease in the number of showers and thunderstorms both today and tomorrow; odds of any one spot getting wet both days are in the 20-30 percent range.

RADAR CHECK: We have a few scattered showers and thunderstorms over the southern half of Alabama this afternoon… mainly south of U.S. 80, where moisture is deeper. The northern half of the state is dry, and temperatures are generally in the 87-90 degree range. Scattered storms over South Alabama will fade a bit tonight after sunset.

WARM, HUMID SUMMER DAYS: A blanket of moist, tropical air will cover Alabama for the rest of the week. Look for a mix of sun and clouds today and tomorrow with the usual threat of random, scattered, mostly afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms. Chance of any one spot getting wet today is around 30 percent, and 40 to 50 percent tomorrow.

RADAR CHECK: The area of rain associated with the remnants of Tropical Storm Danny is now over the northwest corner of Alabama this afternoon… otherwise we have a mix of sun and clouds with a few widely scattered showers and thunderstorms. Temperatures are in the 70s over the northwest counties due to clouds and lingering rain… most other places are in the low to mid 80s. The average high for June 29 at Birmingham is 90. Scattered showers will end tonight after sunset.

Only Isolated Showers Today; Higher Rain Chance Tomorrow

James Spann | June 28, 2021 @ 5:54 am
