Very Humid; Scattered Showers/Storms

MUGGY JUNE DAYS: “Air you can wear” will remain across Alabama and the Deep South through the weekend, meaning we will have to dodge showers and thunderstorms at times. Expect more clouds than sun each day, highs in the 80-85 degree range, and scattered shower and thunderstorms. While the best chance of a shower or storm will come during the afternoon and evening hours, with such high moisture levels we can’t rule out a late night or morning shower.

No way of resolving the exact location of the showers and storms in this pattern, and we can’t give rain start/stop times for any one specific spot. Just be ready for an occasional shower or thunderstorm if you have something planned outdoors. The rain won’t be continuous, and the sun will peek out at times.

Precipitable water values are nearing two inches, so heavier showers and storms will produce lots of rain; flash flood warnings are in effect early this morning for areas near Tupelo, Mississippi.

NEXT WEEK: Showers and storms remain possible Monday, but they should begin to thin out Tuesday as a pattern change takes place. An upper trough will develop over the eastern U.S… and will pull down much drier, continental air into Alabama Tuesday night. This will set the stage for rain-free weather for most of the state Wednesday through Friday, with sunny days, fair cooler nights, and lower humidity values. See the Weather Extreme video for maps, graphics, and more details.

TROPICS: The Atlantic basin is quiet on this second day of the Atlantic hurricane season, and tropical storm formation is not expected over the next five days.
