Alabama Weather: Rain, Storms, and Cooler Temperatures

0:00Rain's hitting the northern two-thirds of Alabama hard right now, with some thunderstorms mixed in, but it's pushing out fast. Most of today stays dry, just a few scattered showers popping up here and there. Look for highs between 78 and 84 degrees, so grab that jacket if you're heading out early. Tonight, another round of organized rain and storms rolls into the central and southern counties. The storm prediction centers calling a marginal risk, that's level 1 out of 5, for severe stuff in the southern half. Expect strong wind gusts and maybe some hail down there, but tornadoes aren't on the radar. Tomorrow shapes up mostly dry statewide, with only isolated showers near the Gulf Coast and highs dipping into the 70s. Friday keeps it calm too, though northern spots cool to the upper 60s. Friday night through Saturday morning, a big rain wave slides in along a front near the coast. Thunders possible by the water, but cooler, stable air, keeps things chill inland. Saturday afternoon dries out, except maybe lingering showers in the southeast, with highs from 65 to 75 degrees.

1:06Sunday brings mostly sunny skies and 70s again, then the first half of next week stays dry with temps warming up. Models point to rain and storms returning by Thursday, so stay tuned. This has been Birmingham News Today, powered by AI. I'm Corey with The Story.
