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.
