Scattered Showers/Storms Return To Alabama Tomorrow

We note a few isolated showers over the southern third of the state, but most places are dry. Tonight will be fair with a low in the 70s.

REST OF THE WEEK: The air aloft will be a little colder, and the air a little more unstable, and with rising moisture levels we will bring in the chance of a few scattered, random showers and thunderstorms on a daily basis tomorrow through Friday. Most, but not necessarily all, of the storms will come during the afternoon and evening hours (around 2 to 10 p.m.), and the chance of any one spot seeing rain daily is in the 25-30 percent range. Heat levels come down a bit with highs in the low to mid 90s, but with higher dew points it will pretty much feel the same.

THE ALABAMA WEEKEND: Models are little more aggressive with shower/thunderstorm coverage Saturday and Sunday, odds of any one community seeing rain bath days are now 40-50 percent. Otherwise, expect a mix of sun and clouds with highs in the mid 90s.

The classic summer weather pattern continues through much of next week; hot, humid days with “scattered, mostly afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms”… See the video briefing for maps, graphics, and more details.

TROPICS: A tropical wave located over the southeastern Caribbean Sea is producing disorganized showers and thunderstorms as it moves quickly westward at around 25 mph. Environmental conditions could support some gradual development once the wave reaches the western Caribbean Sea late this week, and some development is also possible over the southwestern Gulf of Mexico during the weekend. If anything develops, it will most likely head for Mexico; NHC gives it only a 20 percent chance of becoming a tropical storm for now.

No tropical systems are expected near the Central Gulf Coast (Gulf Shores to Panama City Beach) through July 4.

ON THIS DATE IN 1957: Audrey reached hurricane strength; it was moving northward through the Gulf of Mexico; it would make landfall two days later near Sabine Pass and would be one of the deadliest hurricanes in U.S. history.

ON THIS DATE IN 1967: Three F3 tornadoes crossed the Netherlands on this day, killing seven people and producing widespread damage.

Look for the next video briefing here by 6:00 a.m. tomorrow…
