RADAR CHECK: As expected, showers are relatively scarce over the northern half of Alabama this afternoon… most of the showers and storms are over the southern counties, mainly south of U.S. 80 (Demopolis to Montgomery to Opelika). Away from showers, temperatures are in the 80s with a mix of sun and clouds over North/Central Alabama. The rain over the southern counties will diminish tonight after sunset.
MUGGY JUNE DAYS: Warm, humid weather will continue across Alabama through the weekend. Like most June days, we will have the risk of a few random, “pop up” afternoon showers or storms today and tomorrow, but they should be pretty widely spaced. Odds of any one spot getting wet through tomorrow are in the 20-25 percent range… otherwise look for partly sunny days with highs between 85 and 89 degrees.
WARM AFTERNOON: We have a mix of sun and clouds across Alabama this afternoon with temperatures mostly in the mid 80s; radar is pretty quiet with just a a few isolated showers over South Alabama. With an upper trough to the west, we will mention a chance of scattered showers and thunderstorms late tonight and tomorrow statewide. Not a “wash-out” by any means, but some rain is very possible at times over the next 24 hours.
MOISTURE LEVELS RISING: Moisture levels will begin to rise across Alabama today, but most of the state will remain dry with only isolated showers around this afternoon. Look for a partly sunny sky with a high in the mid 80s; the average high for Birmingham on June 1 is 86.
RADAR CHECK: While most of Alabama is dry this morning, we have a cluster of rogue showers over parts of Tuscaloosa and Jefferson counties around sunrise. We expect a mix of sun and clouds today, with potential for more scattered showers or storms this afternoon and this evening. Odds of any one particular location seeing rain today over the northern half of the state is 20-25 percent, and the high will be in the mid 80s.
RADAR CHECK: We have a few scattered showers on radar over the western half of the state this afternoon… most of them are north of I-59/20 and west of I-65. The rest of the state is mostly sunny and very warm with temperatures in the 86-91 degree range. The showers will fade away later this evening after sunset, and tonight will be mostly fair with a low in the 60s.
A FEW SHOWERS LATER TODAY/TONIGHT: The upper high over the region is weakening a bit, and this should allow development of a few scattered showers and thunderstorms over North Alabama later today and tonight, mostly between 2:00 and 9:00 p.m. Best chance of showers will be north of I-20, and odds of any one spot getting wet in that part of the state will be in the 30-40 percent range.
RADAR CHECK: While most of Alabama is dry this afternoon, light rain continues to fall across some of the northern and western counties, and a band of heavier thunderstorms is over Mobile County. For the rest of the state, the sky is partly to mostly cloudy with temperatures mostly in the 75-80 degree range. The sky will stay mostly cloudy tonight, and rain will come to an end after sunset.
