Noon Look at Alabama Weather

LATE NOTE: The SPC is monitoring parts of North and Central Alabama for a potential severe weather watch. Pay attention to the latest weather information through the afternoon.

Temperatures early this afternoon are running a couple of degrees hotter than at this same time yesterday.

In Birmingham, it was 94F at noon. Yesterday it was 92F. In Anniston, it is 92F today, versus 91F yesterday.

It is 94F at Tuscaloosa at noon. That is a degree cooler than an hour ago, when the mercury peaked at 95F. It was 95F yesterday.

Afternoon highs will run a degree or two warmer than yesterday in many spots. Tuscaloosa has an outside chance at making 100F.

The cumulus field is most developed over Northeast Alabama, perhaps indicating the area where storm development is most imminent.

That is borne out by the radar.

A few showers were starting to bubble up on the radar. They are most prevalent over Northeast Alabama, from Cherokee through Marshall and into Madison County.

Others were over Lawrence County in Northwest Alabama.

Movement is southeast.

Be alert for approaching or developing storms in your area today. They could be strong with damaging winds and copious lightning, as well as brief heavy rain.
