Strong storms possible Thursday, Staying soggy through the weekend
Unsettled weather continues across Central Alabama through the weekend. An upper-level low will stall over the ArkLaTex, placing Alabama on the east side and sending upper-level waves across the state. Each wave will trigger daily rounds of scattered showers and storms. Some days, the rain could be heavy, adding 1-2+ inches, which may lead to flooding issues, especially in western and southwestern Alabama. There is also a chance for strong to low-end severe storms.
Tonight, clouds, light rain showers, and patchy dense fog will impact the viewing area. Lows will range from the upper 50s to the lower 60s, with visibility potentially dropping to less than 1 mile.
Thursday will be partly cloudy, warmer, and humid, with afternoon and evening scattered showers and storms.
SPC has placed all of Central Alabama in a Level 1/5 Marginal Risk for severe storms. The threat is very low, but a storm or two could bring gusty winds and hail. High temperatures will reach the upper 70s to lower 80s. Patchy dense fog is expected Thursday night into Friday morning.
More scattered storms are forecast for Friday, with a few possibly being strong and containing heavy rain. High temperatures will be in the upper 70s.
Mother's Day Weekend Outlook: The upper-level low will remain stalled west of Alabama, which means more rain for the weekend. Saturday and Sunday will see a chance for scattered showers and storms. However, it will not be a washout, and many areas may remain dry. High temperatures will be in the lower to middle 70s. Plan for some rain on Mother's Day, so bring an umbrella if you are headed to brunch.

Isolated storms return to eastern New Mexico Friday with hotter weather
Severe storms moved through eastern New Mexico Thursday afternoon. Another round of isolated storms will develop Friday with hotter and mostly dry weather this weekend. A couple tornadoes touched down in Roosevelt County this afternoon, but thankfully there were no reports of damage. Those storms have been out of New Mexico for a while, but a few storms have redeveloped tonight around Clovis. These storms will also move out of New Mexico soon. Drier weather will continue to move into New Mexico into this weekend. Storm chances will still be possible Friday afternoon in far eastern New Mexico. That includes another threat of severe weather. Temperatures will continue a warming trend across the state Friday. On Saturday, only a spotty shower or two is likely in northeast New Mexico, but on Sunday, more isolated storms are possible in northern and eastern New Mexico. Temperatures will again continue to warm up through the weekend, with Sunday being the hottest day for most. More moisture will move into eastern New Mexico Monday, bringing a better chance for showers and thunderstorms up to the northern mountains as well. Outflow from those storms will push moisture as far west as the Continental Divide Tuesday morning. This will bring a more widespread chance for storms Tuesday afternoon. Rain chances move back into eastern parts of the state Wednesday. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.
