RADAR CHECK: We have a few widely scattered showers and storms this afternoon over parts of North and West Alabama, otherwise the sky is partly to mostly sunny with temperatures mostly in the 85-90 degree range. Showers will end this evening, and tonight will be mostly fair with a low in the 60s
FEELING LIKE SUMMER: We project afternoon highs in the 87-92 degree range through the weekend with partly sunny days and fair nights. The summer feel to the weather is here with higher heat and humidity levels. And, as is usually the case, we will have a few isolated showers around. We note a couple of them early this morning over North Alabama, but most of the showers will come from 2:00 until 9:00 p.m.
RADAR CHECK: As expected, most of Alabama is dry this afternoon with only small, isolated showers moving westward. Temperatures are mostly in the mid 80s, very close to seasonal averages for the first day of meteorological summer. The isolated showers will end after sunset, and tonight will be mostly fair with a low in the 60s.
CALM DAYS: Welcome to meteorological summer. This is also the first day of the Atlantic basin hurricane season… and Alabama’s weather will remain calm through the weekend. We expect partly sunny days, fair nights, and only isolated afternoon and evening showers. Chance of any one spot seeing a brief shower each day is only 10-20 percent generally between 2:00 and 9:00 p.m.
RADAR CHECK: We have a few small, isolated showers across Alabama this afternoon moving northwest; these won’t last long and will all dissipate after sunset. Otherwise, we have a partly sunny sky with temperatures mostly in the 80s. Tonight will be fair with a low in the 60s.
TRENDING WARMER: We are forecasting highs in the 84-87 degree range across Alabama today, right at seasonal averages for the last day of May. The sky will be partly sunny, and a few isolated showers or storms could form this afternoon and early tonight. Chance of any one spot seeing rain is around 20 percent.
THIS AFTERNOON: The sky is partly too mostly sunny across Alabama this afternoon with temperatures mostly in the 80-85 degree range, a little below average for late May.

ONLY ISOLATED SHOWERS THROUGH MEMORIAL DAY: Alabama’s weather will stay quiet today and over the holiday weekend with temperatures below average. We will mention a risk of isolated showers on daily basis through Sunday, but the chance of any one spot seeing rain is in the 10-20 percent range. The high today will be in the low 80s, but a surface low to the east near the coast of the Carolinas will help to pull down cooler air into the region over the weekend.
RADAR CHECK: Scattered strong to severe thunderstorms continue across parts of East-Central Alabama this afternoon. The storms are dropping southward, and heavier ones are producing strong gusty winds and some hail. A few counties have been placed under severe thunderstorm warnings. The rest of the state is warm and dry with a partly sunny sky..
SUMMER-LIKE PATTERN CONTINUES: We note a few scattered showers over the northern quarter of Alabama just before sunrise, otherwise it is a mostly cloudy, humid morning with temperatures in the upper 60s and low 70s. Look for a mix of sun and clouds today with a high in the mid 80s; a few widely scattered showers could develop this afternoon; the chance of any one location seeing rain is 20-30 percent.
