Plenty of sunshine in the Alabama sky today and temperatures are surging into the upper 80s and lower 90s. Overall a much calmer day of weather across Alabama compared to the rain and storms yesterday.
CALMER DAY: We are expecting a rain/storm-free day for Alabama today… temperatures will be close to 90 degrees this afternoon with a partly to mostly sunny sky. We will bring in a chance of widely scattered showers tomorrow with a weak disturbance approaching from the west, but the air will be fairly dry, and showers will likely be light and spotty.
At 439 PM CDT, a severe thunderstorm was located over Greenville, moving east at 20 mph.
RADAR CHECK: Showers and a few strong thunderstorm continue across Southeast Alabama, where a severe thunderstorm watch is in effect until 9p CT. The rest of the state is dry with only isolated showers… temperatures are mostly in the mid to upper 80s. Storms move out of Alabama later tonight; lows will be in the 60s.
This warning is for the storm near Oswichee. But there is another strengthening storm in western Russell County, west of 431 again, north of Hatchechubbee. That’s a new town name for me! It will move near Seale once again.
The most dangerous part of the storm is approaching US-431 from Seale to the north.
Areas from Auburn down to Eufaula are under a new severe thunderstorm watch until 9 p.m.
Storms over South and Southeast Alabama may be severe this afternoon. Damaging winds and hail are possible.
Some afternoon storms are possible as a cold front approaches, and some of these storms could be strong producing damaging wind gusts and hail. It is not going to storm everywhere, as these will be mainly over the southern third of the state, along and south of Montgomery.
Down to just two counties in the severe thunderstorm watch that expires at 9 a.m.
The next question is whether the atmosphere will recover ahead of an approaching cold front in time for more strong storms later today. Our cold front is near Memphis now. A few isolated or scattered storms may form this morning behind the main rain mass and again this afternoon, either south of I=85 early in the afternoon or in the late afternoon near I-59. Those storms could be strong to severe with damaging winds and hail.
