For the rest of tonight, we will likely remain partly to mostly cloudy with only an isolated chance for a light shower. Most of us will remain dry overnight with temperatures cooling into the upper 60s. We could see a few spots develop fog overnight, but I am not expecting any major issues.

I highly recommend holding on to the umbrella tomorrow and through the weekend as storm chances will likely continue. The sky will likely remain mostly cloudy tomorrow with highs in the low to mid 80s. It will be another muggy day with a heat index approaching the upper 80s to near 90°F. Our best chance to see scattered showers and storms form will likely occur between noon and 6 p.m. CDT. Main threat tomorrow afternoon will be pockets of heavy rain and lightning. A strong storm can't be ruled out, but the threat remains low. Not everyone will see rain tomorrow. If you remain dry, you'll have a decent chance to see rain Friday and Saturday.

) - It is another afternoon with high humidity and afternoon showers and thunderstorms.

We want to give you a first alert for increasing storm chances starting tomorrow. A stalled boundary will enhance our chances to see stormy weather Friday afternoon. The main threat will be heavy rainfall and some lightning. Severe weather remains very low in this setup, but we can't rule out a storm capable of producing gusty winds. It looks like areas north and east of Birmingham may have the greatest opportunity for wet weather Friday afternoon. It all depends on where the stalled boundary sets up. The sky will remain mostly cloudy with high temperatures in the lower 80s. Flood threat remains low tomorrow, but not zero. The greatest concern for isolated flooding Friday is in east Alabama.

) - Good morning and happy Saturday! It's another warm and muggy start to the day with temperatures in the lower 70s. We actually have scattered showers moving to the east this morning. The biggest batch of rain moved through Pickens, Tuscaloosa, and Jefferson counties before 7 a.m. CDT. Spotty showers will remain possible this morning, and we are expecting additional showers and a few thunderstorms to develop as we make our way into the afternoon hours. Not everyone will see rainy weather today. The main threat will be heavy rainfall and some lightning. Afternoon temperatures are forecast to warm into the mid 80s with a partly sunny to mostly cloudy sky. Winds will remain light from the west today at 5-10 mph. If you have any evening plans, we will hold on to a 20-30% chance for an isolated shower with temperatures cooling into the mid 70s by 8 p.m. CDT.

We have declared tomorrow a First Alert Weather Day for the potential to see strong and severe storms. We are watching a weather feature we call “northwest flow.”

) - Happy Friday! It's a comfortable start to the morning with temperatures in the upper 50s and lower 60s. I hope you are enjoying the cool and dry weather now, because the humidity and warmer temperatures are on the way! If you plan to be outside today, don't forget your sunglasses, hat, and sunscreen. It should be another beautiful afternoon with a partly cloudy sky. Temperatures are forecast to warm into the mid and upper 80s this afternoon with a southeast wind at 5-10 mph. If you have any evening plans, we should remain dry with a partly cloudy sky. Temperatures are forecast to cool into the mid and upper 70s by 8 p.m. CDT. Today is a great day to clean up the yard or mow the lawn. If you wait until the weekend, you may have to be patient with mother nature as rain chances increase.
