RADAR CHECK: Showers and storms are forming rapidly in scattered locations over the northern half of Alabama this afternoon. SPC maintains a “marginal risk” (level 1/5) of severe thunderstorms through the evening hours… some strong wind gusts are possible. Of course, all summer storms produce lots of lightning and heavy rain.
MOISTURE LEVELS RISING: After a very pleasant weekend, moisture levels will rise across Alabama today, and we will mention the chance of a few strong thunderstorms this afternoon ahead of a surface front dropping in from the north. SPC has defined a “marginal risk” (level 1/5) of severe thunderstorms for parts of North/Central Alabama due to the potential for strong winds with the heavier storms.
RADAR CHECK: Showers and thunderstorms continue to develop across much of Alabama this afternoon in the very humid airmass over the state. Like recent days, stronger storms are producing heavy rain, gusty winds, and lots of lightning. Away from the storms we have a mix of sun and clouds with temperatures in the 86-90 degree range. Showers and storms will fade late tonight.
RADAR CHECK: We have a cluster of showers and storms over parts of Northwest Alabama early this morning, along with some scattered rain near the Gulf Coast. Otherwise, it is a dry, muggy summer morning. Look for scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms to form in this ocean of humidity later today, mostly between noon and midnight.
RADAR CHECK: We have more “summer soakers” on radar this afternoon… some of the heavier storms at mid-afternoon were approaching Tuscaloosa, Brent, and Clanton from the south. Other ones are in scattered spots around the state; showers and storms remain possible anywhere through around midnight tonight. They are producing heavy rain, gusty winds, and lots of lightning.
MUGGY, SOUPY AIR: Showers are few and far between on radar early this morning, but they become numerous across the state later today and early tonight, mostly between noon and midnight in the ocean of humidity that covers the Deep South. Like recent days, storms that form will be slow movers, and the stronger ones will produce heavy rain, strong gusty winds, some small hail, and lots of lightning.
RADAR CHECK: Again today we have random, scattered showers and storms in progress across Alabama. Some of the heaviest rain at mid-afternoon was over the northeast quarter of the state, and over some of the southern counties. Stronger storms are producing heavy rain, strong gusty winds, small hail, and gobs of lightning. Additional showers and storms could form anywhere over the next 7-10 hours; most of the activity will end by midnight.
SUN AND STORMS: Most all of Alabama is generally rain-free early this morning, but more showers and storms will fire up in scattered, random locations from about noon to midnight. Like recent days, storms that form will be slow movers, and will be capable of producing heavy rain, gusty winds, small hail, and lots of lightning. Of course, it won’t rain everywhere; odds of any one spot seeing rain today are 50-60 percent.
RADAR CHECK: Like recent days, we have your classic case of random, scattered showers and thunderstorms across Alabama this afternoon. They are slow moving, and in come cases are producing torrential rain, gusty winds, and lots of lightning. Away from the storms, temperatures are in the 88-92 degree range with a mix of sun and clouds. Storms will end tonight after sunset.
