Good Tuesday afternoon! Our local weather started off mild this morning, with a mix of sun and clouds through the afternoon. Most spots warmed into the upper 80s to lower 90s this afternoon, which is close to average for late June. Expect temperatures to drop into the 70s overnight, under a partly cloudy sky. A few scattered showers and storms are possible overnight, but most remain dry.
We’ll maintain a chance of scattered showers and perhapse a storm or two on Wednesday, but most remain hot and dry. The risk of rain is at 40% on Wednesday. We’ll reach a high in the lower 90s.
Thursday and Friday will feature a reduction in the chance of storms. I can’t rule out an isolated shower or storm during the afternoon hours, but most stay dry. Highs will reach the lower 90s, with lows in the low 70s.
There will be a slight increase in the number of scattered storms this weekend, but again, this is not a widespread rain event. A few storms that develop could produce briefly heavy rain.

Good Monday afternoon! Today’s weather has been challenging to forecast. There was a very large MCS cluster of storms in Mississippi late lastnight and very early this morning. The storms fizzled out near the Alabama/Mississippi state line, sending out an outflow of stable air into west Alabama. Storms have redeveloped this afternoon in extreme east Alabama, but those are moving into Georgia. The rest of this evening will be rain-free, with temperatures dropping into the lower 70s overnight.
Tuesday through Friday will feature very similar conditions. We’ll notice a mix of sun and clouds, with a few isolated afternoon and evening storms. It will not rain everywhere, and storms won’t last long in the spots they develop in. Highs will reach the lower 90s, with lows in the lower 70s.
There may be a slight uptick in the number of scattered storms by the weekend, as moisture and uplift increases a tad across the area. Highs will remain in the lower 90s through the weekend, with a heat index nearing 100.

Happy Sunday everyone! It was a little cooler today with highs topping out around 94 here in Tuscaloosa and 95 in Birmingham. Mostly dry across the state today with a few isolate afternoon showers popping up.
Tonight an isolate showers and thunderstorm is possible but this will be isolated towards more northern counties. Clouds will start to build in and lows will drop into the mid 70s.
Cloudy to start the day tomorrow and by lunch expect storms to start moving into west Alabama. These will pass and there will be another round following behind that should come in just before dinner. The main threats are going to be strong damaging winds, large hail and lightning. More eastern counties such as Blount, St. Clair, and Talladega have been placed under a slight risk for severe weather which is basically a 2/5 on our scale.
Showers and tstorms will remain possible for the day on Tuesday but by Wednesday chances decrease and rain will become more isolated Wednesday and Thursday before greater storm coverage returns to Friday through Sunday.

It was a nasty day across central Alabama with numerous severe thunderstorm warnings and wind and hail damage reports coming in from the national weather service. Showers are beginning to end for the night and Alabama should be clear of rain by 1am.
Tomorrow will be another hot day with highs in the upper 90s and feels like temps in the 100s! We should stay dry for much of the day with some areas seeing some day time heating summertime showers but by no means a washout. The day will actually stay mostly sunny.
Showers return for more northern counties Sunday night into monday with a marginal risk for severe weather for these northern counties like Cullman. The risks sunday night will include strong damaging winds and frequent lightning.
Monday will be our next rain maker as southerly flow strengthens. You can expect highs to become a little less hot in the low 90s and afternoon showers all the way through Saturday.
