RADAR CHECK: Bands of showers and thunderstorms continue across Alabama early this morning… at daybreak some of the heaviest rain was over Chambers, Randolph, and Cleburne counties on the eastern side of the state.
We will continue to forecast occasional showers and a few thunderstorms today and tomorrow thanks to a very slow moving upper low just to the west. It won’t rain all day, and the sun will peek out at times, but expect rain at times and possibly a heavy downpour. We don’t expect any severe storms by classic definition today (winds of 58 mph or higher, or 1″ diameter hail or larger). Highs will be in the 70s.
We should mention that showers will be fewer in number near the Gulf Coast, and far South Alabama should be mostly dry tomorrow as the upper low begins to open up and lift out…
