BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WBRC) - Towel by the door weather for dog owners continues this week, especially each late afternoon and evening. First Alert AccuTrack Radar shows spotty development south of I-20 and a large shield of rain and storms in Mississippi. It looks like after 4 p.m. we will start to see the coverage really ramp up in west Alabama and parts of central Alabama. Once again, heavy rainfall which could lead to flash flooding is the top threat. A strong wind producing storm is also possible, otherwise it’s lightning to watch out for. Keep up with any alerts and radar trends via the WBRC First Alert Weather App. Muggy, some breaks of sunshine and highs ranging from the 70s to the 80s. Showers and storms look to continue but slowly wane across central Alabama tonight.
Wednesday early morning starts off the driest, but showers will start to form during the midmorning hours and then widespread between 4-10 p.m. Same threats! Weakening activity overnight and then more developing on Thursday morning. Our Next Big Thing is the continuation of rain chances as we finish out the week. I do think rain chances lower as we approach the weekend. Plan for a 60% chance for showers and storms on Thursday and the coverage dropping off to around 40% on Friday. It will remain very warm and muggy as we finish out the week with highs in the mid to upper 80s. Overnight lows will likely remain in the upper 60s and lower 70s. Rainfall totals could add up around a half inch to an inch along I-20 with 1-3 inches possible for parts of north Alabama over the next five to seven days. Highest totals could occur across northwest Alabama as several disturbances try to dip into our state. Flash flooding will remain a concern all week long. Some storms can easily produce a few inches of rain in an hour. Just remember to never drive through flooded areas. Turn around, don’t drown!
Models are showing lower rain chances as we approach the weekend. We’ll hold on to a 40% chance for rain on Saturday. By Sunday, we should trend drier with only a 30% chance for a few storms. Temperatures will remain very warm with highs in the upper 80s. A few spots could approach the lower 90s. Humidity levels will likely remain uncomfortable, but I do think they’ll lower a little bit as we head into next week. Rain chances next week look isolated around 20%.The tropics remain mostly quiet for the next three to five days. The National Hurricane Center is monitoring the southwest Caribbean for the potential to see a tropical system develop in the next five days. They are giving it a 30% chance to develop. Models continue to hint that something could form next week in the Caribbean or Gulf of Mexico, but it remains way too early to determine when and where it will occur. I would not worry about it for now. Just know that we will monitor the trends and inform you if anything develops as we head into the middle of June.
Stay weather alert later today.
