RADAR CHECK: Most of the rain across Alabama at mid-afternoon is over the far southern part of the state; showers are widely spaced over the northern counties. Temperatures are mostly in the mid to upper 80s; Mobile is in the upper 70s thanks to clouds and rain.
AM SUN/PM STORMS: Alabama’s weather won’t change through Wednesday. Partly to mostly sunny mornings, followed by scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms during the afternoon and evening hours. The chance of any one spot getting wet daily will be in the 65-75 percent range, and most of the showers will come from around 1:00 until 10:00 p.m.
It is heat, humidity, and daily storms during the afternoon and evening hours. Each day this week will feature a mix of sun and clouds, expect highs in the mid 90s for many locations.
RADAR CHECK: We have a classic case of scattered, random scattered showers and thunderstorms across Alabama this afternoon. Showers are a little more numerous over the eastern half of the state, and they are moving westward on top of an upper low over the Northeast Gulf.
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.
RADAR CHECK: Most of Alabama is rain-free at daybreak with only a few isolated, light showers near the Tennessee state line. But later we expect a line of showers and a few thunderstorms to form along a cold front that will be passing southward through the state today. Best chance of rain this morning will be over the northern counties, then shifting into South Alabama this afternoon.
RADAR CHECK: The large rain mass that was over Alabama this morning has moved on to the east; we have just a few spotty, widely scattered showers on radar at mid-afternoon. With a mix of sun and clouds temperatures are only in the 70s over most of the state, a good 10-15 degrees below average for late May.
The widespread rain and storms from the morning hours continues to gradually push east out of the area, and most of the afternoon looks to be dry for much of North and Central Alabama. However, we can’t rule out some additional scattered showers and storms this afternoon in some locations.
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.
RADAR CHECK: A few showers are on radar early this morning over North Alabama… from near Dora to Fort Payne at daybreak. Expect a mix of sun and clouds today with a risk of scattered showers and storms, but rain won’t be as widespread as yesterday, and a decent part of the day will be dry with highs in the 80s.
RADAR CHECK: Strong storms with gusty winds and heavy rain are moving through Southeast Alabama this afternoon… the rain has ended for the western counties. Temperatures are mostly in the 70s thanks to the rain; some spots received over two inches today along with some scattered flooding issues.
We are seeing a mix of sun and clouds today, but we are watching another round of rain and storms to the west of Alabama as they will arrive later today and tonight.
RADAR CHECK: On this Memorial Day we have some scattered light rain over the central counties of Alabama, but much of the state dry with temperatures mostly in the 60s. We note some patchy dense fog; that will dissipate by mid-morning. Expect a mix of sun and clouds today with a high in the 80s. And, like recent days, we will have a passing shower or storm from time to time.
The upper low is finally on the move and it will be crossing through North Alabama today. As It does, the warm and muggy air at the surface, and the colder air aloft associated with the low, is allowing showers and storms to develop across Alabama.
