    Good morning Bama y'all have a great day and be careful today. Rain is slack off a bit. We need rain but now it's too much. No flooding to speak of but we're all still fearful from the hurricane.
    Good morning Jeff.

    Good morning David. Total understand being worried about flooding. My house flooded in 2021. Every time it rains hard I get concerned that it will happen again.


    Good morning Barrie

    SUMMER PREVIEW CONTINUES: We project highs in the 87-90 degree range for most of Alabama again today with a partly sunny sky. Then, late tonight, a band of strong storms ahead of a surface front will move into far North Alabama around midnight. The storms will be capable of producing strong, gusty winds and possibly some small hail… the tornado threat for Alabama is very low.

    The storms will drop southward during the pre-dawn hours tomorrow, reaching places like Tuscaloosa, Birmingham, Anniston, Gadsden around 5-6 a.m. The storms should be weakening, but gusty winds are still likely.

    Showers and storms will dissipate over Central Alabama by mid-morning, and many places will be dry during the midday and afternoon hours. However, a few widely scattered storms are possible, and where they do form they could produce strong winds and some small hail. The southern quarter of Alabama will remain dry thanks to an upper ridge over the Gulf. Afternoon highs tomorrow will stay in the mid to upper 80s.

    [​IMG]

    Scattered thunderstorms are possible tomorrow night and Sunday, and again a few strong storms are possible with gusty winds and small hail. But understand Sunday (like tomorrow) won’t be a wash-out, and it won’t rain everywhere. Highs hold in the 80s.

    NEXT WEEK: Most of Alabama will be very warm and dry Monday and during the day Tuesday. Then, we will forecast a good chance of showers and thunderstorms Tuesday night into Wednesday morning; a few strong storms are possible but for now it looks like the highest threat of severe storms will be north and west of Alabama with this system. Much cooler air invades the Deep South later in the week… cooler spots over North Alabama could reach the 40s by Friday morning. And, for now, the Memorial Day weekend looks dry with warm days and pleasant nights. See the video briefing for maps, graphics, and more details.

    [​IMG]

    ON THIS DATE IN 1989: Thunderstorms developing ahead of a cold front produced severe weather in the south-central U.S. Thunderstorms spawned twenty tornadoes, and there were 180 reports of large hail and damaging winds. A tornado in Cleburne, Texas caused thirty million dollars damage. A violent F-4 tornado touched down near Brackettville, Texas and a strong F-3 tornado killed one person and injured 28 others at Jarrell, Texas.

    RADAR CHECK: Patches of mostly light rain are over far North Alabama early this morning in the wake of stronger storms that moved through during the pre-dawn hours. The rest of the state is dry at daybreak. With a mix of sun and clouds, we expect a high in the 86-90 degree range today with just a few isolated showers or storms this afternoon and tonight; most places will be rain-free.

    Not much change during the day tomorrow; partly sunny and very warm with highs in the upper 80s. Any showers during the day will remain isolated.

    TOMORROW NIGHT: SPC has defined an “enhanced risk” (level 3/5) of severe thunderstorms for Northwest Alabama… there is a “slight risk” (level 2/5) down to Greensboro, Calera, and Heflin… and a “marginal risk (level 1/5) as far south as Thomasville, Prattville, and Lafayette.

    [​IMG]

    A line of severe thunderstorms will likely enter the northwest corner of the state around 6:00 p.m… it will move through the northern half of the state tomorrow night. Here are the key messages…

    *The primary threat will come from damaging winds since high resolution models suggest the storms will be linear. However, a few isolated tornadoes are certainly possible within the line as well. If any discrete storms form ahead of the line, the tornado risk will be higher.

    *Large hail is also possible in a few spots within the line.

    *The line of storms should reach Tuscaloosa/Birmingham/Gadsden/Anniston in the 9-11 p.m. time frame.

    *The storms will likely weaken over Central Alabama after midnight as the upper support moves away.

    REST OF THE WEEK: A few lingering showers are possible over South Alabama early Wednesday, but most of the state will be dry with a high in the low 80s. Most communities will stay rain-free Thursday with just a few isolated showers over the Tennessee Valley. Friday will be a sunny and very pleasant day statewide; some of the cooler spots over North Alabama could reach the upper 40s early Friday morning. Highs will be in the 70s over the northern counties of the state, with low 80s to the south.

    MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND: South Alabama will be generally dry over the holiday weekend, but a few scattered showers will be possible over the northern third of the state Saturday and Sunday as moisture levels rise. Showers and storms are more likely Monday with the approach of a cold front. See the video briefing for maps, graphics, and more details.

    ON THIS DATE IN 1915: A spring storm came to an end after producing widespread snow. Total snowfall from the storm included: 17.6 inches in Scottsbluff, Nebraska, 8 inches at Cheyenne, Wyoming, 7 inches at Chadron and 3.9 inches in North Platte, Nebraska.

    ON THIS DATE IN 1973: An F2 tornado chewed its way across the northern part of Fort Payne on Saturday evening, May 19, 1973; a total of 35 people were injured in the storm. Other tornadoes touched down the same day in parts of Madison and Jackson counties.
