Alabama News Center — Can’t Miss Alabama: Get a head start to the Hangout Music Festival, Birmingham Taco Fest
Can’t Miss Alabama shows us where to get a head start to the weekend activities.
RADAR CHECK: Large areas of rain are moving through Alabama early this morning, including a few stronger thunderstorms near the Gulf Coast. We will forecast periods of rain and a few thunderstorms through tonight.
WARM, DRY AFTERNOON: The sky is partly to mostly sunny across Alabama this afternoon with temperatures generally in the 80s. Clouds will increase tonight ahead of an approaching storm system. Some rain is likely after midnight.
Plenty of sunshine today is allowing temperatures to surge into the mid and upper 80s across the state. Later this afternoon and evening, clouds begin to return ahead of our next storm system that will bring rain and storms back to Alabama for our Friday and into our Saturday.
WARM, DRY MAY DAY: With a good supply of sunshine, expect a high in the mid to upper 80s across Alabama today. Clouds will increase late this afternoon and tonight ahead of a storm system to the west.
QUIET WEATHER: We note a few small, isolated showers across Northeast Alabama this afternoon, otherwise the sky is partly sunny with temperatures in the 70s over the northern half of the state and 80 over the southern counties. Tonight will be mostly fair with a low in the 60-65 degree range.
Drier air is moving into Alabama today and will continue into tomorrow. Both these days will be mainly dry with only a few isolated showers over the northeastern portions of the state today. Highs today and tomorrow will range from the low to mid 80s with more sun than clouds.
MOSTLY DRY THROUGH TOMORROW: We expect a mix of sun and clouds across Alabama today with a high in the low to mid 80s. A few small, isolated showers could pop up this afternoon over the northeast corner of the state, but even there most communities will be rain-free.
The NWS in Huntsville has added Jackson County to the severe thunderstorm watch and dropped Franklin, Colbert, and Lauderdale Counties.
At 642 PM CDT, a severe thunderstorm was located over Gurley, or 12 miles southeast of Moores Mill, moving east at 30 mph.
