RADAR CHECK: We have scattered showers and thunderstorms on radar this afternoon over the southern half of the state… mainly south of U.S. 80 and east of I-65. The rest of the state is under a partly sunny, hazy sky with temperatures in the 88-92 degree range. Scattered storms over South Alabama will fade after sunset, and tonight will be mostly fair with a low in the upper 60s and low 70s.
ANOTHER HOT MAY DAY AHEAD: Today will be another hot May day across Alabama with lots of hazy sunshine; temperatures will reach the low 90s in many areas this afternoon. A few isolated showers or storms could pop up during the heat of the day over the southern half of the state, but the chance of any one location seeing rain is fairly low.
HOT MAY DAY: Temperatures are in the 88-93 degree range across most of Alabama this afternoon with a good supply of hazy sunshine. The smoke and haze in the upper atmosphere is coming from wildfires burning in the southwest part of the U.S. The sky will be mostly fair tonight with a low in the low 70s.
JUST LIKE SUMMER: Alabama’s weather will stay hot and dry through tomorrow with highs in the 90-94 degree range, about ten degrees above average for mid to late May. An upper ridge over the Gulf Coast will deflect the rain producing systems north of the state through tomorrow night.
