We start off the new month by taking a look back at June weather stats from our corner of the Tennessee Valley. For this, we use data from the NWS climate reporting station at the Northwest Alabama Regional Airport in Muscle Shoals. It is the closest NWS climate reporting station that is centrally located in […]

After a rather slow start to the Atlantic hurricane season compared to the last several years (no complaints here!), Andrea formed in the open North Atlantic on Tuesday, briefly becoming the first named tropical storm of the 2025 Atlantic Hurricane Season. Since then, Andrea has moved into less favorable conditions with the convection associated with

The hot weather continues across the Tennessee Valley. We’re not going to see as many showers and storms today as we have the past few days, with rain chances only around 10%… but we may see a stray afternoon pop-up or two. Otherwise, we expect mostly sunny skies with daytime highs climbing into the mid

Showers and storms won’t be quite nearly as numerous today as they were on Tuesday, but they will still be out there. We’re starting off mostly cloudy to partly sunny on this Wednesday morning with lower 70s and upper 60s. Partly sunny skies will allow us to warm into the upper 80s to lower 90s

Another day, another high rain chance on the board. Showers and thunderstorms will be likely today across the Tennessee Valley, off and on in waves, beginning this morning and carrying through the afternoon and evening.

Another day, more rain and thunderstorms in the forecast. The NWS Storm Prediction Center maintains a Level 2 of 5 risk of severe storms across the entire area for today, with the main timeframe we’re watching being the late morning through the afternoon. Overall, this is a very low-end risk. Showers and storms will be

Well, it had to happen sooner or later. Apparently, we’re not allowed to have quiet weather around here for too long this year! For today (Wednesday) and again on Thursday, it’s no big deal here locally. The weather will be similar to the past few days… warm temperatures, partly cloudy and hazy conditions. We’re just

Another mostly sunny day across the Tennessee Valley, except for the continued hazy conditions from the Canadian wildfire smoke. We continue to take a break from rain chances. Daytime highs today will once again be in the mid to upper 80s, although a couple of locations in north Alabama may briefly make a run for
