Warm and Humid Saturday

It’s warm and muggy across Central Alabama this afternoon. Temperatures are in the middle 80s and dewpoints are around 70 degrees.

No showers showing up on radar yet, and we don’t expect many if any this afternoon.

Skies are partly cloudy.

Birmingham actually crawled back into the surplus category in the rainfall department for the year with the rain Thursday night and Friday, but all areas of Central Alabama have not been so lucky. Anniston is running 2.82 inch deficit and Tuscaloosa is 4.83 inches below normal for the year.

Short term lawn and garden moisture levels are decent across much of Central Alabama, especially in areas north and west of Birmingham. Areas south and southeast of Birmingham have not been quite so lucky.

But the good news is that no part of Alabama is in drought condition right now.

Over the next two weeks, the operational GFS indicates 2-3 inches of rain will fall over the northern half of the state, with 1-2 inches to the South. So near normal precip over the northern half of the state, with a growing deficit over those South Central and Southeastern sections of Alabama.
