Good Friday morning! Widespread rain and storms are expected today and through your weekend unfortunately. Some of the storms could be on the strong side with gusty winds and small hail, but the overall severe threat over the coming days is very low. Cannot completely rule out a stray severe thunderstorm warning however. Temperatures today […]

Good Thursday morning! Temperatures continue to stay on the very warm side today and even tomorrow with highs expected to be in the upper 80s to around 90! Along with the heat does come the humidity, which will make it feel like above 90 degrees. Also, with that humidity comes the rain and storm chances

Enjoy the sunshine while it lasts because rain chances are on the way back… just not today. We’ll see a few clouds on our Wednesday, but plenty of sunshine and warm temperatures. Daytime highs across the area today will be in the mid to upper 80s, and one or two spots in north Alabama might

Ding dong, the rain is gone! Well, for the next couple of days it is anyway… After a little morning fog, we’re expecting partly cloudy to mostly sunny skies for your Tuesday. Daytime highs today will climb into the mid to upper 80s, and the humidity will be a touch lower than it has been

Radar is one of the most valuable tools in the Meteorologists toolkit – besides the standard reflectivity (which measures rainfall rates) and the relatively new dual-polarity functions that can help radars detect tornadic debris, one of the most vital and longest utilized tools is the “doppler” part of “doppler radar” – the doppler velocities. This

We’ve made it at last to our first full Weekend of June, and we’re definitely kicking off this first portion of Meteorological Summer (which begins on June 1st) with a thunderous bang, so to speak. In continuing the trend of a relatively active pattern of late, more strong to severe thunderstorms look possible, if not

Good Friday morning! We will be watching the radar closely today as we anticipate the chance at a few strong to severe storms. Main concern will be from damaging winds, although some hail up to quarter size and isolated flooding will also be possible. Tornado threat today is very very low but not completely zero.

Good Thursday morning! Another day of warm and somewhat muggy conditions is expected today with highs in the mid to upper 80s. A few isolated to widely scattered showers or storms could develop this afternoon but most will remain dry. This evening, any chance of rain will remain on the low end with skies remaining

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
