Unsettled Weather Continues Tomorrow
RADAR CHECK: Some light rain lingers over East Alabama this afternoon, but the stronger storms are now over Georgia. The sky is mostly cloudy, and temperatures are mostly in the mid to upper 70s.
TOMORROW: Showers and storms remain possible, but it won’t rain all day, and the sun could peek out at times. We note SPC has much of the state in a “marginal” severe weather threat, but like today the overall chance of severe storms looks small. We should rise into the low 80s tomorrow afternoon.
THURSDAY/FRIDAY: Showers become fewer in number and more scattered… and mostly during the afternoon and evening hours. Otherwise, a mix of sun and clouds both days with a high in the low to mid 80s.
THE ALABAMA WEEKEND: Very routine weather for late May; partly sunny, warm, and humid days with the risk of “scattered, mostly afternoon and evening” showers and thunderstorms. Chance of any one spot getting wet each day is about one in four, and highs will be in the mid 80s, right at seasonal levels. And, we stay in that pattern into the first few days of June.
AT THE BEACH: We project about 6 to 8 hours of sunshine each day tomorrow through the weekend, with the daily risk of scattered showers and thunderstorms (very routine for summer). Highs will remain in the low 80s on the immediate coast; the sea water temperature early this morning at the Dauphin Island Sea Lab is 79 degrees.

WOMEN’S COLLEGE WORLD SERIES: Both Auburn and Alabama are playing in Oklahoma City later this week and over the weekend; showers and thunderstorms are likely on a daily basis Thursday through Saturday, so expect rain delays. Showers thin out a bit Sunday; highs will be in the 77-81 degree range most days. Some flooding issues are not out of the question since the soil there is totally saturated.
