Thunderstorms Bubble as Heat Cranks Higher
Scattered storms will dot Alabama this afternoon, but the real story is the rising heat and humidity set to intensify through midweek.
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.
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.
SUMMER DAYS: Alabama’s weather won’t change much through the weekend. Partly to mostly sunny, hot, humid days with a few afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms around in spots. Highs around 90 today, followed by low 90s tomorrow, and mid 90s Sunday.
RADAR CHECK: Again today we have the classic summer case of random, scattered showers and thunderstorms across Alabama. They are most numerous over the northern 2/3 of the state, and will fade away quickly after sunset.
SUN AND STORMS: We actually have a few isolated showers on radar early this morning before sunrise, but most of the showers and thunderstorms across Alabama will come this afternoon from about 1:00 until 10:00 p.m. The air is a bit more unstable today; odds of any one specific spot getting wet are 55-65 percent
