Quiet tonight, Weather Aware Monday for strong to severe afternoon storms
Tonight: Skies will become partly cloudy with patchy fog developing as lows fall to the upper 60s to low 70s. Monday: We are staying Weather Aware for the risk of afternoon storms becoming severe with high winds and small hail. Highs will be in the lower 80s with mostly cloudy skies. This Week: On Monday, a sub-severe decaying line of showers and few storms will quickly push northeast across central Alabama through lunchtime before we get a brief break. Then by 2 PM, a new and more intense line of storms should form over west-central Alabama and push eastward. This line will likely be more impactful for out southern counties so areas along and south of I-20 for Monday late afternoon and evening. Our severe risk is gone after Monday with just a small threat for an afternoon pop-up shower or storm on Tuesday and Wednesday, mainly south of I-20. Most of us will begin to dry things out under partly cloudy skies and highs warming into the middle 80s. Hit and miss afternoon storms gradually become more widespread from Thursday into the upcoming weekend. Several locations may avoid these smaller storms all week long, while others will continue to see a quick downpour nearly every day. In addition to the daily threat for a shower will be the continued heavy amount of moisture staying in place across the area. This will make afternoon and evening temperatures feel like the 90s by Thursday and potentially 100°+ by Friday.

More strong to severe storms overnight into early Sunday, staying weather aware
Weather Aware through Monday for More Rounds of Strong to Severe Storms Tonight: Additional storms will fire up around sunset or shortly after this evening, remaining scattered through the overnight. Some of these could become strong to severe with gusty winds and small hail. Lows will be in the upper 60s to low 70s. Sunday: Morning storms are expected, some of which could be strong with gusty winds and small hail, although the severe risk is fairly small. Outside of a few scattered storms in the afternoon, conditions dry out for most of us as skies become partly cloudy with highs in the lower 80s. Monday: Our weather aware continues into Monday with another round of storms likely during the afternoon and evening, posing the risk for severe storms with gusty winds and small hail being the primary threats. Next Week: As a stationary boundary remains draped across the area, temperatures and humidity levels will not fluctuate much over the next seven days. Highs will stay in the middle 80s, slightly warming into the upper 80s by the end of the week, keeping heat index values each day in the lower to middle 90s as our humidity remains quite oppressive. This front will continue to provide opportunities for storms mainly in the heating of the afternoons each day. Rain chances become lowest and more spotty on Wednesday, then increasing in coverage again for Thursday into Saturday.

Weather AWARE Saturday, Sunday, and Monday for strong to severe storms
Weather Aware from Friday through Monday for Strong to Severe Storms This evening, a cluster of storms (MCS) is anticipated to track across the northern part of the state. There is a Level 1 to 2/5 Risk for severe weather across Central Alabama, with the highest threat located north of I-20. The main threat will be gusty winds. Bring your rain gear to the Steel City Smooth Jazz Fest. Tonight, there will be some lingering storms across NE Alabama. Otherwise, we will be mostly cloudy with muggy lows in the lower 70s. Weekend Outlook: A cold front will stall north of Alabama in Tennessee all weekend, creating a northwest flow weather pattern. This will allow a series of upper-level waves to bring a cluster of strong to severe storms (MCS) from the Great Plains States to Alabama on Saturday. The SPC has placed Central Alabama under a Level 3/5 Enhanced Risk for severe storms that may produce damaging winds. Highs will be in the upper 80s. Another MCS is likely on Sunday morning, maintaining the same northwest flow weather pattern. SPC has placed Central Alabama in a Level 1/5 Marginal Risk for severe storms featuring gusty winds and highs in the lower 80s. Additionally, Saharan dust could move into the southeastern U.S. this weekend, causing the sky to take on a milky hue and creating beautiful sunrises and sunsets each day. Next Week's Outlook: The front will remain stalled north of Alabama. The warm and humid air will sustain an unstable atmosphere, allowing for daily scattered showers and storms. Some could be strong to severe with gusty winds, hail, and heavy rain. SPC has included Central Alabama in a Level 2/5 Slight Risk for Monday for another round of strong/severe storms with gusty winds. Be Weather Aware especially during the afternoon and evening. High temperatures will be in the mid-80s, with the heat index reaching the lower 90s each day.
