It’s the same old song and dance each day in the weather across Alabama this week. The days usually start off dry with a partly sunny sky. The days are very warm and humid with highs in the mid to upper 80s each afternoon.
A weak upper trough to our west, along with very high moisture levels will allow for scattered to numerous showers and storms today through Sunday. Rain chances are in the 70-90% range the next three days.
Rain chances have increased to the 40-50% range today across much of Alabama. We are seeing a partly sunny sky with highs in the mid to upper 80s. This afternoon, showers and storms will begin to increase in coverage due to daytime heating.
Most of Alabama is dry today, with showers and storms mainly confined to the southern counties of the state. We are seeing a mix of sun and clouds with highs in the mid to upper 90s. Lows tonight will be in the mid to upper 60s for most of North and Central Alabama.
We are seeing a partly sunny sky today with only isolated showers and storms on the radar across Alabama. For the rest of today, these will remain widely spaced.
It has been a wet and stormy this morning, and storms will continue to be a threat through the afternoon and evening hours. Stronger storms will be capable of producing strong, gusty winds and hail, and there is a non-zero tornado threat.
An approaching front from the north, will be the forcing mechanism for multiple rounds of storms through the weekend. The lift from the front, and the instability of the very warm and tropical air mass in place, will allow for strong and likely some severe storms.
The Storm Prediction Center has nearly all of Alabama in threat of severe storms on Saturday, with the northern three-quarters of the state in a level 2 threat.
It is a wet Wednesday for some across Alabama today as tropical moisture surges in from the south and east. However, many locations will remain dry with a mix of sun and clouds. Rain chances today are in the 20-50% range, with the higher rain chances over East and South Alabama. Highs today are in the mid to upper 80s.
The wet and stormy pattern persists today through Friday across Alabama with warm and muggy conditions; highs in the low to mid 80s. Rain and storms are possible at any time and when and where the storms develop, they could be strong to locally severe.
Most of us are dry today, but we are seeing some showers and storms across the Tennessee Valley of the state. Widespread severe storms will develop this afternoon to our north, and these will move south into and through Alabama this evening and overnight.
We are seeing a mix of sun and clouds with highs in the upper 80s with some low 90s are showing up. A few isolated showers and storms are possible this afternoon and tonight; most places will be rain-free.
Today remains dry and hot across Alabama with a mix of sun and clouds. Afternoon highs will range from the upper 80s to lower 90s across all of Alabama.
It is warmer today with highs in the mid to upper 80s. Tomorrow and Friday will be dry with a mix of sun and clouds both days.
