HOTTER AFTERNOONS: Birmingham went six consecutive days with a high under 90 degrees last week (Monday August 8 through Saturday August 13)… that was mostly due to increased cloud cover from the upper low that brought the historic flooding to Louisiana. That feature is now over Texas and Oklahoma, and the upper ridge has returned. […]
HEAT LEVELS CREEPING UP: The high at Birmingham has been below 90 degrees for four consecutive days thanks to clouds, but today with a slight increase in the amount of sun we could touch 90 degrees this afternoon as the upper low over Louisiana drifts westward and begins to lose it’s influence. Still, the air […]
RADAR CHECK: We have a few scattered showers south of I-20 at mid-afternoon, but the most widespread rain is over South Alabama. Any lingering showers will end this evening, and most places will be dry tonight. TOMORROW/THURSDAY: These two days will be warm and humid with a mix of sun and clouds. Any showers will […]
MOIST AIR RETURNS: After two days of dry, continental air, the typical maritime tropical airmass returns to much of Alabama today, meaning we will have the risk of “scattered, mostly afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms” today. We should mention we actually have an early morning shower over Cherokee County, in far Northeast Alabama, as […]
RADAR CHECK: The radar is strangely quiet this afternoon; storms have formed all around us today, including a few severe storms over the northeast corner of the state during the lunch hour. In this type of environment we will need to maintain the chance of developing showers and storms through tonight, and SPC maintains a […]
JUST LIKE JUNE SHOULD BE: The overall weather pattern won’t change much across the great state of Alabama today and tomorrow; expect partly sunny, humid days with the risk of “scattered, mostly afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms”… the chance of any one spot getting wet is about one in three. A weak upper low […]
A FEW SCATTERED STORMS: A very typical June afternoon across Alabama… the weather is warm and humid with a mix of sun and clouds, and we have a pattern of random, widely scattered showers and thunderstorms. They show up very nicely on visible satellite imagery… Showers and storms will fade away later this evening after […]
Showers and storms will wind down this evening, but more are possible over the weekend. The best coverage looks like it will be Sunday, with only widely scattered storms on Saturday. The SPC has much of Alabama in a marginal risk category outlook for Sunday. Things look drier for the start of the week.
