Classic July weather is in store for Alabama with heat and humidity through the early part of the week although rain chances will increase later in the week as we see some increase moisture from a tropical disturbance to our south.
Temperatures were in the mid 80s to the lower 90s across the state, with Andalusia coming in as the hot spot at 92, while Eufaula and Cullman were the cool spots at 84. Birmingham was at 86.
Few things feel as effortlessly romantic as a slow afternoon in Italy: the hum of a Vespa on cobblestone, the scent of espresso, lemons and rosemary, and the neatly lined rows of cypress trees.
Summer heat and humidity are in full swing across Alabama, with daily chances of pop-up storms and a few strong ones in the mix — it’s a classic July pattern that’s not going anywhere soon
Spring in Alabama is a wonderful time of the year. It can also bring rain – rain that we need for spring flowers and green lawns. However, those rains, especially the heavy downpours common in our area, can cause problems in yards where drainage is an issue.
RADAR CHECK: As you might expect on a summer afternoon, we have random, scattered showers and thunderstorms across Alabama today… most active over the northern 2/3 of the state. Stronger storms are producing heavy rain, gusty winds, and gobs of lightning. Away from the storms temperatures are mostly in the upper 80s and low 90s.
Hot temperatures, high humidity, and scattered afternoon and evening showers and storms, it is summer in Alabama. This afternoon, rain and storms will be common across the Alabama landscape with rain chances above 60%.
Plenty to see and do, both indoors or outdoors. So, no matter what the weather does, you don’t have to stay cooped up at home.
